Eaton Injured
The Texas Rangers announce their rotation for 2006, and a little while later their number two starter walks off the mound with an injured finger:
Eaton was having discomfort in his right middle finger. He missed much of last season with San Diego with a torn tendon sheath in the same finger.
Though the extent of Eaton's injury was not immediately known, it seems almost certain he will open the season on the disabled list. He has pitched just 3 2/3 innings since March 9.
The Rangers don't have an open date in their first ten games, so they need to decide on a fifth starter again.

Another case where a GM may look better if the pitcher is hurt than if he pitches. Adam Eaton is a prime candidate to go Milton on the Rangers.
