(Durham, NC) - White Sox outfielder Adam Eaton will begin a Major League rehab assignment with the Charlotte Knights starting tonight as the team plays game three of a four-game series with the Durham Bulls from Durham Bulls Athletic Park in Durham, NC. Eaton is currently on Chicago's 15-day disabled list with a right hamstring strain.

Eaton, 25, joins White Sox teammate Chris Sale, who is scheduled to make a Major League rehab start for the Knights tonight from Durham. Sale is 3-0 with a 2.30 ERA in four starts for the White Sox this season and is currently on the 15-day disabled list with a flexor muscle strain in his left arm. Sale was placed on the disabled list back on April 22 (retroactive to April 18).

A native of Springfield, OH, Eaton was hitting .276 with one home run and 14 RBIs in 25 games for the White Sox this season before being placed on the DL back on May 3. The Miami (Ohio) University product was obtained by the White Sox on December 10, 2013 from Arizona in exchange for Hector Santiago and Brandon Jacobs.

Originally selected by Arizona in the 19th round of the 2010 draft, Eaton hit .252 with three home runs and 22 RBIs last season for the Diamondbacks in 66 games.

Pre-game radio coverage of tonight's 7:05 p.m. game starts at 6:50 p.m. on ESPN Radio 730 AM and WRHI (1340 AM and 94.3 FM). Fans can also listen to the game online at www.charlotteknights.com. The "Voice of the Charlotte Knights" Matt Swierad will have the call for all of the action.
