Adam Eaton (knee) still out Wednesday for Nationals

Washington Nationals right fielder Adam Eaton (knee) remains out of the starting lineup Wednesday versus right-hander Zack Wheeler and the New York Mets.

What It Means:

Eaton is dealing with a significant bone bruise on the side of his right knee. This is his second straight absence and it's not clear how long the veteran will be out. Gerardo Parra is starting in right field again on Wednesday and hitting eighth.

Eaton is slashing .288/.376/.435 with 12 homers, 21 doubles, 42 RBI, 13 steals, and 90 scores in 563 plate appearances (128 games) this season.
