| Jun 27 2025 | Adell went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 15-9 loss to the Nationals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell is up to 18 homers on the year, including 11 over 24 games in June and five across his last nine contests. He got the Angels on the board in the second inning, answering a two-run shot from Josh Bell that opened the scoring in the top of the frame. Adell has also hit safely in nine straight games, going 11-for-34 (.324) in that span to solidify his role as the Angels' starting center fielder. He's now at a .234/.308/.498 slash line through 74 games while adding 42 RBI, 31 runs scored and three stolen bases. |
|
| Jun 25 2025 | Adell went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Red Sox. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old extended his hitting streak to eight games and got the Angels on the board by taking Richard Fitts deep in the fourth inning. Adell has four homers during that eight-game stretch, and a stunning 10 long balls in 23 June contests -- a month in which he's batting .266 (21-for-79) with two steals, 16 runs and 17 RBI. |
|
| Jun 21 2025 | Adell went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Astros. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old outfielder got the Halos on the board by taking Hunter Brown deep in the fourth inning. It was the third straight game with a homer for Adell, and 10 of his 16 long balls on the season have come in his last 20 contests -- a stretch in which he's slashing .279/.364/.735 with two steals, 14 runs and 17 RBI. |
|
| Jun 19 2025 | Adell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Yankees. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell put the Angels ahead 2-1 in the second inning with an opposite-field blast off Carlos Rodon, his 15th homer this year. The 26-year-old Adell has now homered in back-to-back games after going 0-for-10 over the prior three contests. Overall, he's slashing .221/.293/.471 with 37 RBI, 25 runs scored and three steals across 230 plate appearances this year. |
|
| Jun 12 2025 | Adell went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the A's. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Addell's homer proved to be the difference in the Angels' win -- he launched a two-strike fastball from Osvaldo Bido 422 feet to extend the lead to 6-3 in an eventual one-run victory. The 26-year-old Adell has been on a tear at the plate recently, going 6-for-17 (.353) with four home runs in his last five games. He's boosted his slash line to .223/.296/.473 with 13 homers, 34 RBI, 23 runs scored and two steals across 203 plate appearances this season. |
|
| Jun 9 2025 | Adell went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two additional RBI in Monday's 7-4 win over the Athletics. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell's fourth-inning homer stretched the Angels' lead to 4-0, and he added a two-run single for insurance in the eighth. The outfielder is up to 12 homers on the year, six of which he's swatted over his last nine games, a span in which he is 9-for-29 (.310) with 10 RBI. Adell is now at a .226/.297/.469 slash line over 58 contests, but he's added 90 points to his OPS just since the end of May (.676 to .766), which is enough to keep him firmly in a starting role in center field. |
|
| Jun 7 2025 | Adell went 3-for-3 with two home runs, a walk and three RBI in Saturday's 8-6 win over the Mariners. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell is up to 11 homers over the year. He's hit five of them over his last seven games, going 7-for-22 (.318) with seven RBI in that span. The outfielder is at his best when he's hitting for power, and this surge comes at a good time with Mike Trout preparing to rejoin the mix in the outfield soon. Adell has slashed .224/.298/.459 with 29 RBI, 20 runs scored, two stolen bases and seven doubles across 188 plate appearances. He's holding down a starting job in center field and will likely continue to do so as long as he doesn't go cold at the plate. |
|
| Jun 2 2025 | Adell went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs during Monday's 7-6 victory over the Red Sox. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell hit his eighth home run as part of a six-run Angels first inning then left the yard a second time to deliver the squad a massive insurance run it turned out they would need. The slugging outfielder now has three home runs in his last three games and six hits in his last four contests and is slashing .215/.283/.440 for the season. |
|
| May 31 2025 | Adell went 1-for-3 with one walk and a two-run homer in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Guardians. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell extended the Angels' lead to four runs in the fourth frame, when he took Slade Cecconi deep to right-center field for a two-run homer. It was Adell's seventh home run of the season, five of which have come in May. He'll end the month with an .836 OPS with 10 RBI in 76 plate appearances. |
|
| May 30 2025 | Adell went 3-for-4 with a double and a RBI during Friday's 4-1 victory over the Guardians. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell picked up a trio of hits for the second time this season, driving in his 22nd run of the season in the process. The 26-year-old has had a tough go at the plate so far this season, slashing .209/.273/.338 on the year, but he has had a good week at the plate. Since May 24, he is batting .368 (7-for-19) with two doubles and two RBI. |
|
| May 28 2025 | Adell isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Yankees, Jack Janes of TheSportingTribune.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After going 3-for-7 with an RBI and a walk during the first two games of the series, Adell will grab a seat on the bench for Wednesday's finale. While he rests, Taylor Ward, Chris Taylor and Jorge Soler will start across the outfield. |
|
| May 23 2025 | Adell is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Marlins, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Jorge Soler will make the start in right field, as Logan O'Hoppe is at designated hitter with Travis d'Arnaud behind the plate. Adell is slumping at the plate, slashing .063/.318/.250 over the last seven days. |
|
| May 22 2025 | Adell went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk Wednesday in a 10-5 win against the Athletics. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell entered Wednesday in a prolonged slump at the plate -- over his previous 26 games, he batted .155 with a 4:21 BB:K. The outfielder was able to get going a bit Wednesday, swatting a 416-foot solo homer in the fourth inning for his first long ball in his past 10 contests and later taking a walk. Adell did strike out twice, though, and his K rate on the season is a poor 27.2 percent. He's still getting regular opportunities, starting in four of the Angels' past five contests, but his value in fantasy has been mostly limited to his power -- he's slugged six home runs but has just one stolen base and a .190 batting average over 136 plate appearances. |
|
| May 16 2025 | Adell isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell will grab a seat on the bench Friday after going 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored during the Halos' last series in San Diego. His absence will put Jorge Soler in right field, moving Luis Rengifo into the DH spot while Tim Anderson starts at the keystone. |
|
| May 10 2025 | Adell went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Orioles. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell is clawing back some playing time with power -- he's homered three times over his last five games. All of those long balls have been solo shots, but it's part of a 5-for-14 run at the plate in that span. The outfielder is up to five homers, 17 RBI, eight runs scored, one steal and a .200/.236/.381 slash line through 32 contests. Adell's numbers wouldn't warrant a full-time role if the Angels' outfield was fully healthy, but the team is missing Mike Trout (knee) and Gustavo Campero (knee), and neither of those players is expected to return within the next week. |
|
| May 9 2025 | Adell went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Blue Jays on Thursday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell made just his second start in the Angels' past six games, getting the nod in right field and batting eighth in the order. He took advantage of the opportunity, belting a 402-foot shot to left field in the second inning for his fourth homer of the season. Adell had been a lineup regular prior to the past week and may be in line to regain consistent playing time as Gustavo Campero deals with an ankle injury. |
|
| May 7 2025 | Adell is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Angels are giving Logan O'Hoppe a day off from catching but are keeping his bat in the lineup at designated hitter. As a result, Adell will be the odd man out of the lineup, as the Angels' usual DH, Jorge Soler, will cover right field. Even though the Angels lost Mike Trout (knee) to the injured list Friday, Adell's playing-time outlook has worsened over the past week. He's on the bench for the fourth time in five games, and the Angels seem to be prioritizing Kyren Paris and possibly even Gustavo Campero (ankle) ahead of Adell. |
|
| May 6 2025 | Adell went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Blue Jays. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell's playing time has been trending downward to begin May, and he was on the bench for the third time in four games Tuesday. However, Gustavo Campero left this contest with an ankle injury, and if he misses time, that could allow Adell to be in the lineup more regularly moving forward. Adell could help his own cause with better hitting -- he's batting .183 with three homers, 15 RBI, six runs scored and a stolen base over 98 plate appearances this season. However, he doesn't have all that high of a ceiling after hitting .207 with a .682 OPS in 130 games last year. |
|
| May 3 2025 | Adell is not in the Angels' starting lineup against the Tigers on Saturday, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell is out of the lineup for a second straight game while Taylor Ward, Kyren Paris and Gustavo Campero man the outfield Saturday. Adell has gone 1-for-16 with one run scored and five strikeouts over his last five games. |
|
| May 2 2025 | Adell is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell will get a day to regroup Friday after going just 2-for-25 with eight strikeouts across his last eight games. Kyren Paris will cover for him in center field, opening up second base for Tim Anderson. |
|
| Apr 30 2025 | Adell is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Seattle. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell had started each of the last 10 contests but will begin Wednesday's contest on the bench. Kyren Paris will start in center field and bat eighth for the Angels. |
|
| Apr 20 2025 | Adell went 1-for-4 with a walk-off three-run double in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Giants. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell picked an opportune time for his first hit of the afternoon. He timed up a two-strike slider versus Ryan Walker and lined it into the gap in left field to clear the bases and cap off a four-run comeback in the ninth inning. It's the third game this season for Adell with three-plus RBI. Outside of those three games, he's totaled just two RBI and two extra-base hits. |
|
| Apr 19 2025 | Adell went 3-for-3 with a double in Friday's 2-0 win over San Francisco. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell was held out of the Angels' lineup Thursday in the midst of a 1-for-13 stretch at the plate, and the day off seemed to benefit him, as the outfielder collected three of the team's five hits in his return. It was Adell's first three-hit performance of the season and just his third multi-hit effort over 15 contests. He's posted a modest .235/.291/.392 slash line with two home runs, nine RBI, four runs and no stolen-base attempts on the campaign. |
|
| Apr 17 2025 | Adell is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Texas. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After going just 1-for-13 over his last four games, Adell will grab a seat on the bench Thursday. Kyren Paris will cover for him in center field, moving Luis Rengifo to second base while J.D. Davis starts at the hot corner. |
|
| Apr 10 2025 | Adell went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four total RBI in Thursday's 11-1 win over the Rays. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell led off the fifth inning with his first homer of the year, a 409-foot blast off Zack Littell that extended the Angels' lead to 3-1. Adell didn't have to wait long for his second long ball -- he came to the plate again with two outs in the fifth and smacked a three-run shot off Mason Englert, bookending an eight-run frame. It was quite a performance from Adell, who'd gone 0-for-10 in his past three games prior to Thursday. He's now slashing .226/.294/.452 with eight RBI and four runs scored through 34 plate appearances this season. |
|
| Apr 9 2025 | Adell is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Tampa Bay. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell is only 2-for-19 across his last five games, so he'll get a day off to regroup. The hot-hitting Kyren Paris will start in center field and bat seventh for the Angels on Wednesday. |
|
| Apr 1 2025 | Adell (hip) is starting in center field and batting eighth Tuesday against the Cardinals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old sat out the past two games after departing Saturday's contest due to hip tightness, but he's ready to rejoin the starting nine Tuesday. Prior to suffering the injury during the second game of the season, Adell had gone 2-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout to start the year. |
|
| Mar 31 2025 | Adell (hip) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll head to the bench for the second day in a row while he manages a tight left hip, but Adell said his condition is improving and he expects to be back in the lineup Tuesday, per Fletcher. Kyren Paris will pick up another start in center field in place of Adell. |
|
| Mar 30 2025 | Adell (hip) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old departed Saturday's contest due to hip tightness and will sit out at least one game. It's not believed to be a serious injury, and Adell said Sunday that he's feeling much better and hopes to rejoin the lineup Monday in St. Louis, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com. Kyren Paris is starting in center field in the series finale versus Chicago. |
|
| Mar 29 2025 | Adell was removed from Saturday's game against the White Sox due to left hip tightness. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell was grabbing at his left leg/hip after hitting an infield single in the fifth inning. The severity of his injury remains unclear, but he can be considered day-to-day for the time being. If Adell ends up having to miss any games, Kyren Paris would be a likely candidate to see more time in the outfield. |
|
| Mar 20 2025 | Adell went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, two total runs and two total RBI in Wednesday's Cactus League victory over Cleveland. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell came into the game struggling at the plate, but he created reason for optimism with his big performance Wednesday. The 25-year-old still has a meager .164/.190/.345 slash line this spring, but Adell does rank second on the club with three home runs and 12 RBI. Per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register, the Angels haven't yet decided how they'll handle center field this season, but both Adell and Mickey Moniak are likely to spend time at the position now that Mike Trout is shifting to right field. |
|
| Mar 8 2025 | Adell went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Saturday's Cactus League victory over the Brewers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell gave the Angels their first lead in the second inning with a three-run blast to left-center field. The outfielder has made the most of his two long balls this spring -- his other homer was a grand slam against the Dodgers. Adell could be the Angels' Opening Day center fielder since Mike Trout is moving to right field this season. |
|
| Mar 1 2025 | Adell went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Friday's Cactus League loss to the Dodgers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell got the best of Dustin May in the second inning, swatting a grand slam to left-center field to give the Angels an early lead. That was the outfielder's only knock of the game, however, and in fact it's his only hit so far this spring through 12 at-bats. Adell and Mickey Moniak are vying for time in center field for the upcoming season now that Mike Trout is moving to right field. |
|
| Feb 20 2025 | Adell (oblique) is expected to play in the Angels' Cactus League opener Saturday versus the Mariners, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell finished the 2024 season on the injured list after suffering a left oblique strain in early September, but he made a full recovery from the injury over the offseason and isn't operating with any restrictions this spring. The 25-year-old struck out in 28 percent of his 450 plate appearances with the Angels in 2024 and batted just .207, but he displayed the power-speed combination (20 home runs, 15 steals) that had made him an enticing fantasy prospect during his time in the minors. Batting average will continue to remain an issue moving forward unless he reduces his strikeout rate, but the toolsy 26-year-old should have the inside track for an everyday role in the outfield heading into Opening Day. After playing primarily in right field last season, Adell is expected to see most of his reps in center field in 2025 while the Angels look to move the oft-injured Mike Trout to a corner spot in an effort to preserve his health. |
|
| Feb 17 2025 | Adell is in line to play more in center field with the Angels' decision to move Mike Trout (knee) to right field, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell was a Gold Glove finalist in right field in 2024 but will be tasked with a new position in 2025, at least while Trout is healthy. The 25-year-old Adell has started only 15 games in center field at the major-league level but played there extensively in the minors. Mickey Moniak will also be in the mix for starts in center field and has more experience at the position than Adell. |
|
| Jan 9 2025 | The Angels and Adell avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.1 million contract Thursday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's a nice raise for Adell, who was in his first year of arbitration eligibility. The former top prospect slashed .207/.280/.402 in 2024 in his first year as a full-timer at the big-league level, popping 20 home runs and stealing 15 bases along the way. |
|
| Sep 9 2024 | The Angels transferred Adell (oblique) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: While the Angels haven't provided a timeline for Adell's recovery from the left oblique strain that forced him out of Friday's game against the Rangers, his move to the 60-day IL implies that the team quickly determined he wouldn't make a full recovery from the injury before the season ends Sept. 29. Adell should be at or close to 100 percent prior to the calendar flipping over to 2025, so the expectation is that he'll be fully cleared in advance of spring training. Though he still struck out in 28 percent of his 450 plate appearances in the majors this season, Adell made tremendous strides with both his contact and walk (8 percent) rates while providing to be a strong source of counting stats (20 home runs, 15 steals, 54 runs and 62 RBI). Barring any major offseason additions to the outfield, Adell projects to head into Opening Day in 2025 as the Angels' everyday right fielder. |
|
| Sep 7 2024 | The Angels placed Adell on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left oblique strain. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell left Friday's game with oblique irritation and further testing revealed he's dealing with a strain. With Kevin Pillar (thumb) also being placed on the injured list, Jack Lopez, Jordyn Adams and Bryce Teodosio could all see significant action in the outfield. |
|
| Sep 6 2024 | Adell exited Friday's game against the Rangers with left oblique irritation, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell struck out in the second inning and was immediately pulled from the game and replaced by Kevin Pillar. The severity of the issue is unknown, but he is likely to undergo further testing later Friday or Saturday. |
|
| Sep 1 2024 | Adell went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs in Saturday's win over Seattle. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell was a thorn in Bryan Woo's side throughout the contest, tagging the right-hander for solo homers in the third and and sixth innings as the Angels took care of business at home. It marked the first two-home run performance for Adell this season, and he's now up to 20 long balls overall on the campaign. The outfielder finished the month of August with four homers, 14 RBI and 12 runs scored, batting .277 over that stretch. |
|
| Aug 29 2024 | Adell went 0-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Tigers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old also got caught stealing for the 10th time this season, but Adell is creeping closer to a 20-20 campaign -- he's got 18 homers as well in 122 games. He's also been a more consistent contributor in August, slashing .277/.333/.446 through 90 plate appearances with a 24.4 percent strikeout rate, which is a slight improvement on his 28.1 percent rate for the year. The Angels have been extremely patient with the athletic outfielder, and that patience could be paying off. |
|
| Aug 14 2024 | Adell is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell has an .806 OPS with two homers and two doubles through 12 games in August, and he'll take a seat for Wednesday's series finale versus Toronto. Kevin Pillar will start in right field and bat third. |
|
| Aug 12 2024 | Adell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Monday's 4-2 loss to Toronto. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After striking out in his first two at-bats, Adell came through for fantasy managers with a solo homer in the ninth inning off closer Chad Green. The long ball was merely the Angels second hit of the game. Adell has generated a hit in 10 of 11 games in August, going 12-for-40 (.300) at the plate with six runs and seven RBI. |
|
| Aug 10 2024 | Adell went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss to Washington. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell accounted for the Angels' only runs in the contest with a 431-foot, two-run shot in the second inning. The long ball extended his hitting streak to eight games, a span in which he's slashing .310/.355/.483 with six RBI and three extra-base hits. Though Adell's .202 season batting average is problematic, he's brought his strikeout rate to a poor-but-improved 28.6 percent and has been useful in fantasy for his combination of power and speed, as he's produced 17 home runs and 14 steals along with 53 RBI. |
|
| Aug 8 2024 | Adell went 2-for-5 with a double, a run and three RBI on Thursday in a 9-4 win against the Yankees. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell broke the game open in the fifth inning with a bases-clearing double that gave Los Angeles a 7-1 lead. The outfielder extended his hitting streak to seven contests, those this was the first time during that span that he's posted multiple hits. The double was also only the second extra-base hit during Adell's modest hitting streak, and he had knocked in just one run over that period before racking up the three RBI on Thursday. |
|
| Jul 30 2024 | Adell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and was hit by two pitches in Tuesday's 10-7 win over the Rockies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell's seventh-inning solo shot gave the Angels the lead for good. Prior to Tuesday, he had gone just 1-for-16 with one walk over his previous five contests. The outfielder is up to 16 homers, 47 RBI, 41 runs scored and 13 stolen bases this season, but he's slashing just .193/.270/.393 over 97 games. |
|
| Jul 25 2024 | Adell isn't in the Angels' lineup Thursday against the Athletics, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell will get a day to regroup Thursday after going 1-for-10 with an RBI and five strikeouts during the Halos' three-game series against Seattle. Kevin Pillar will get the starting nod in right field instead and bat fifth. |
|
| Jul 21 2024 | Adell went 2-for-3 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in Saturday's loss to Oakland. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though the Angels have been beat soundly in two straight games coming out of the break, Adell has been a bright spot, going 3-for-6 with a pair of thefts and a pair of walks. While he's still hitting just .197 on the campaign, the outfielder has put together a five-game hitting streak during which he's gone an even .500 (7-for-14) with a homer, six RBI and four free passes. Though his batting average has been a drain in fantasy, Adell's provided some useful production with 15 long balls and 12 thefts overall. |
|
| Jul 19 2024 | Adell went 1-for-3 with a walk, one RBI and one stolen base in Friday's 13-3 loss to the Athletics. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell is up to 11 steals on the year, including two over 13 games in July. He's hitting a mild .225 (9-for-40) this month, though that is an improvement on his .192 batting average for the season. The outfielder has added a .657 OPS, 15 home runs, 44 RBI, 36 runs scored, eight doubles and one triple over 294 plate appearances. While nothing is imminent, Adell could be a player that loses playing time once Mike Trout (knee) is activated from the injured list, which is projected to happen in late July or early August. |
|
| Jul 15 2024 | Adell went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer in Sunday's win over the Mariners. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell came through in the clutch with a three-run homer off Austin Voth in the eighth inning to put the Angels in front 3-2. He heads into the All-Star break with five RBI over his last three games but is still struggling mightily on the whole this year. The 25-year-old is slashing .190/.255/.399 with 15 homers, 43 RBI, 36 runs and a 20:86 BB:K in 290 plate appearances. |
|
| Jul 12 2024 | Adell (illness) is starting in right field and batting ninth for Friday's game against the Mariners, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell returns to the Angels' lineup Friday after missing the past two games with an illness. Since July 1, he's gone just 4-for-29 with one home run, two RBI and a 32.3 percent strikeout rate. |
|
| Jul 11 2024 | Adell isn't in the Angels' lineup Thursday versus the Mariners after he was held out of the lineup Wednesday due to an illness. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The virus that is keeping Adell out of the lineup is the same one that caused teammate Brandon Drury to sit out 11 days, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reported Wednesday. With Adell set to miss his second straight game, Kevin Pillar is in right field again, batting cleanup. |
|
| Jul 10 2024 | Adell isn't in the Angels' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell is slashing just .143/.200/.250 with two RBI since the beginning of July. He'll get a day to regroup Wednesday while Kevin Pillar starts in right field and bats fourth. |

| Jul 6 2024 | Adell went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-0 win over the Cubs. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell walked and scored a run in the second inning and then crushed a 431-foot home run off Drew Smyly in the fifth. The outfielder is hitting a miserable .185 on the season but the Angels are giving him ample opportunities to figure things out. On the bright side, he has contributed 14 home runs and 10 steals over 269 plate appearances. |
|
| Jul 4 2024 | Adell went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's 5-0 loss to the Athletics. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell's steal was his first since June 8 and his 10th of the season. The outfielder hit just .185 with a 4:20 BB:K over 21 contests between thefts, so he wasn't doing much to give himself an opportunity to make an impact with baserunning. Overall, he's at a .186/.250/.390 slash line with 13 home runs, 36 RBI, 32 runs scored, seven doubles and a triple over 260 plate appearances this year. |
|
| Jul 1 2024 | Adell went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Tigers on Sunday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Angels were down 7-1 heading into the ninth frame before mounting a rally that fell just short. Adell brought the team to within one run with his two-out, two-run blast in the inning. The long ball snapped a 15-game homerless drought for the outfielder, and he had struggled mightily during that stretch, slashing .111/.180/.156. Despite the recent cold stretch, Adell has hung onto a near-everyday role, as he's started in right field in six of the Angels' past seven games. |
|
| Jun 26 2024 | Adell is out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Athletics. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell looks to be getting some routine maintenance after starting in each the last four games and 12 of the previous 13 contests. Kevin Pillar will patrol right field for the Angels on Wednesday. |
|
| Jun 19 2024 | Adell isn't in the Angels' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After starting the series 0-for-6, Adell will receive a day off for Wednesday's rubber match. Kevin Pillar will instead get the nod to start in right field while batting fourth. |
|
| Jun 12 2024 | Adell went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Diamondbacks. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell recently endured a 3-for-54 stretch over 17 games from May 21 to June 9. He's matched that number of hits over his last two games, going 3-for-8 as he starts to get his bat back on track in Arizona. The outfielder began the season in good form but fell off pace significantly in May, leaving him at a .198/.262/.441 slash line through 195 plate appearances. He's added 12 homers, 30 RBI, 27 runs scored and nine stolen bases this season, all of which are career highs for the 25-year-old. |
|
| Jun 9 2024 | Adell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell started the previous seven games but will take a seat Sunday after going 1-for-21 with nine strikeouts during that span. Kevin Pillar will man right field and bat fifth in the series finale versus Houston. |
|
| Jun 8 2024 | Adell went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Astros. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell is now 0-for-11 with two walks over his last four games. Over a longer span, he's gone just 3-for-53 with two walks and 24 strikeouts across his last 16 contests, though that brutal slump hasn't prevented him from seeing consistent playing time in right field. The outfielder is at a poor .190/.254/.429 slash line with nine steals, 11 home runs, 27 RBI, 26 runs scored, five doubles and a triple over 56 games. |
|
| May 31 2024 | Adell hit a grand slam as a pinch hitter in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Mariners. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell erased a four-run deficit when he checked into the game in the seventh inning, replacing Matt Thaiss. The homer also ended a 1-for-31 dry spell for Adell, who went 11-for-43 (.256) prior to that slump. The outfielder is already at 11 homers on the year while adding 27 RBI, eight stolen bases, 24 runs scored, four doubles and a triple over 162 plate appearances. Despite that success in counting stats, he's still batting just .211, though he's made up for it with a .476 slugging percentage. |
|
| May 25 2024 | Adell went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday in a loss to the Guardians. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell's long ball was a 435-foot solo shot in the sixth inning. The 25-year-old has gone just 4-for-23 over his past six games, but three of the four hits have been homers. Mike Trout's knee injury has opened up everyday playing time for Adell, and he's already recorded career-high marks with 10 homers, 23 runs and eight stolen bases while posting a .234/.301/.516 slash line with 23 RBI through 143 plate appearances. |
|
| May 18 2024 | Adell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and a stolen base in Saturday's 3-2 extra-innings loss to the Rangers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell has gone 9-for-36 (.250) with four homers, nine RBI and one steal over his last 10 contests. The outfielder is up to eight homers, 21 RBI, 20 runs scored, eight steals, four doubles, a triple and a .250/.320/.528 slash line through 122 plate appearances. Adell has had some brief successful stints in previous years, but he's finally sticking in a full-time role in right field in 2024 since the Angels have few better options available. |
|
| May 15 2024 | Adell isn't in the Angels' lineup for Wednesday's game versus St. Louis, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell will sit out the series finale after going 1-for-7 with a run scored and two strikeouts through the first two games. While he rests, Kevin Pillar will fill the open spot in right field while batting fifth. |
|
| May 12 2024 | Adell went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Saturday's win over the Royals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell jumped on a hanging slider with two men on in the second and launched it 419 feet for his seventh home run of the season and the third in his last four games. The outfielder has also hit safely in five consecutive contests, racking up six RBI over that stretch to go along with five runs scored. Despite those impressive numbers, Adell is still batting just .176 in May and has recorded multiple hits in only one game this month. |
|
| May 11 2024 | Adell went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to Kansas City. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell accounted for the Angels' only run with a 436-foot solo shot to center field. That held up until the ninth inning, when the Royals scored twice off Los Angeles closer Carlos Estevez to emerge with a comeback win. Adell has put together a modest four-game hitting streak, during which he has gone 5-for-15 with two homers and three RBI. |
|
| May 9 2024 | Adell went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a additional RBI in Wednesday's 5-4 victory versus the Pirates. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell put the Angels on the board with a solo shot to center field in the third inning, and he added a run-scoring single in the fifth. He finished with his first multi-hit game since April 27. With Mike Trout set to miss extended time due to knee surgery, Adell has become a near-everyday starter in the outfield. However, he's struggled so far this month, slashing .125/.185/.250 with seven strikeouts over seven games, though he does have three RBI and a pair of steals. |
|
| May 4 2024 | Adell went 0-for-2 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in Saturday's loss to the Guardians. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell has been quite aggressive on the basepaths this season, as he's already set a career high with six thefts but has also been caught five times, tied for most in the majors. With Mike Trout (knee) set to miss extended time, Adell should get the opportunity to start in the outfield on a near-everyday basis. The former top prospect is looking to finally break through as a major-leaguer, and he's fared pretty well so far this season with a .265/.320/.515 slash line, four homers, 11 RBI and 12 runs through 75 plate appearances. |
|
| Apr 30 2024 | Adell went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Monday in a 6-5 win against the Phillies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell batted out of the No. 2 spot for the first time this season and immediately made his presence felt with a solo homer in the first inning. The long ball was his second in three games, and he's knocked in five runs over that stretch. Adell has been swinging a hot bat since mid-April -- he's reached base safely in 10 straight contests and is slashing .407/.484/.815 with three home runs, eight RBI, five runs and a stolen base during that span. |
|
| Apr 29 2024 | Adell will start in right field and bat second in Monday's contest versus the Phillies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's Adell's seventh straight start in right field and the first time this season that he's batted higher than sixth. The 25-year-old is sporting a .327/.382/.592 batting line with three home runs and five stolen bases over his first 21 games this season and, perhaps most importantly, he's striking out at just a 23.6 percent clip. Adell came into this season with a career 35.4 percent strikeout rate at the major-league level. |
|
| Apr 28 2024 | Adell went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's loss to the Twins. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell launched a two-out, two-run homer in his first trip to the plate to bring the Angels back within two runs of Minnesota before adding an RBI single in his next at-bat, giving him a season-high three RBI in the contest. It also marked the outfielder's first three-hit performance of the campaign, and he's now tallied multiple hits in three of his last six games. Adell is batting .350 in April with three homers, nine RBI and eight runs scored. |
|
| Apr 24 2024 | Adell will start in right field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll be awarded a third consecutive start after going 3-for-6 with a home run, a double, two RBI and an additional run scored over the past two games, while also reaching base twice after being hit by pitches. Since he first broke into the big leagues in 2020, Adell has struggled to have much staying power in the majors while maintaining high strikeout rates, but he's shown some progression on that front so far this season. Through 39 plate appearances, Adell has struck out just eight times (20.5 percent). |
|
| Apr 22 2024 | Adell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a stolen base Monday in a loss to the Orioles. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell produced the Angels' first run with a solo homer in the seventh inning. He then helped in the team's attempt to try to rally in the ninth, leading off the frame with a hit-by-pitch, advancing to second on a single and subsequently stealing third, though he was ultimately stranded there. Adell continues to receive sporadic playing time -- this was just his second start in the Angels' past six contests -- but he's done well when on the field, slashing .281/.314/.531 with two home runs, five RBI, seven runs and six steals through 35 plate appearances. |
|
| Apr 17 2024 | Adell is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell will head back to the bench after starting each of the last three games while going 2-for-10 with four strikeouts and getting caught on both of his stolen-base attempts. Despite the recent spike in starting opportunities, Adell shouldn't be viewed as anything more than a part-time player in the Anaheim outfield until he puts together a strong stretch of production at the plate. |
|
| Apr 11 2024 | Adell went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Rays. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Getting the start in center field and batting seventh, Adell drove a Kevin Kelly sinker over the wall in right field for his first homer of the season. He then added a two-out single and a steal in the eighth, but he snuffed out the rally with a mental error -- he lost track of the count and over-ran the bag on his steal, thinking the batter had struck out. The 25-year-old outfielder is showing signs of finally putting it together in the majors, going 4-for-15 with a 1:2 BB:K, three steals, three RBI and four runs, but mistakes like Wednesday's won't endear him to manager Ron Washington. Still, with Aaron Hicks and Mickey Moniak both struggling at the plate, the door is open for Adell to claim a much larger role. |
|
| Apr 3 2024 | Adell will start in center field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game in Miami. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's Adell's second start in six games, although he did come off the bench in Monday's contest, adding two steals and an RBI. While at-bats in the early going have been tough to come by so far for Adell, the team may eventually give him one last look in a regular role. |
|
| Apr 2 2024 | Adell went 1-for-2 with a run, an RBI and two stolen bases in Monday's 7-4 win against Miami. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell began the game on the bench but came into the contest as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning. He flied out in his first at-bat before helping to generate a critical insurance run in the ninth inning when he singled, stole both second and third base, and crossed the plate on a balk. Adell has been used mostly as a pinch hitter or defensive replacement so far this season, as he's started only one game. There's a path for him to see more starts in right field, though Mickey Moniak and Aaron Hicks are also competing for playing time there. |
|
| Feb 4 2024 | Adell's standing on the Angels' outfield depth chart became more hazy when the team signed Aaron Hicks to a contract near the end of January, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell was already slated for a reserve role before the Hicks signing, as Taylor Ward (face), Mike Trout and Mickey Moniak are the likely starters in the outfield. Bringing in HIcks complicates Adell's role, as the newly signed veteran is expected to play across all three outfield spots and occasionally serve as the team's designated hitter. Adell is out of minor-league options, so he'll need to be on the Opening Day roster or be exposed to waivers. While the 24-year-old had another impressive season in the minors last year, slashing .274/.376/.588 with 24 homers and 57 RBI over 74 Triple-A games, he's yet to find his footing in the majors, posting a .625 OPS with a 35.4 percent strikeout rate over 619 career plate appearances. |
|
| Sep 24 2023 | Adell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's win over the Twins while also drawing a walk. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell jumped on the first pitch he saw from Sonny Gray in the top of the fourth and launched it over the wall in center field, giving the Angels their only run of the game. The right fielder also drew a free pass on the afternoon and has now walked and scored at least one run in three straight games. The home run was Adell's third of the season and the second in his last three contests. |
|
| Sep 21 2023 | Adell went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 5-4 loss against the Rays. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell hit his second home run of the season, his first since June 8. The 24-year-old has started all three games since returning from an oblique injury Tuesday. Adell should receive a large share of playing time over the remaining nine Angels games in an effort to secure a starting spot for 2024. |
|
| Sep 18 2023 | Adell (oblique) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Monday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell began a rehab assignment over the weekend with Triple-A Salt Lake, and he'll now be available for Tuesday's matchup against the Rays. The former first-round pick is 3-for-13 with one home run, three RBI and two runs scored through five contests with the Angels this season. |
|
| Sep 13 2023 | Adell (oblique) reported to Triple-A Salt Lake last week to continue his rehab program, but he has yet to receive clearance for game action, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. "Where that puts him on a timeline for [a return] this year, I'm not sure," manager Phil Nevin said of Adell. "We'll see how the next few days go for him." | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell has been on the shelf since July 14 with a left oblique strain, but he resumed baseball activities at the Angels' spring training facility in Arizona in late August and appears set to continue those workouts in Utah. The Angels will presumably reassess Adell over the weekend before determining if he'll be ready to play in rehab games next week for the final six games of Salt Lake's season. If Adell is able to take part in those rehab games without incident, he could then be a realistic option to return from the Angels' 60-day injured list for the final week of the MLB season. |
|
| Sep 2 2023 | Adell (oblique) has started hitting in the cage and there is some hope he could return this season, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He will be eligible to come off the 60-day injured list Sept. 7, but Adell probably needs at least a brief rehab assignment before he would join the big club, so a mid-September return seems more likely than an early-September return. Once fully healthy and active, it seems likely the Angels would give Adell opportunities down the stretch for internal evaluation purposes. Adell has a .271/.376/.580 slash line with 23 home runs and nine steals in 72 games at Triple-A this year. He struck out six times in 14 plate appearances in the big leagues. |
|
| Aug 1 2023 | Adell (oblique) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He last played July 8, so this move means Adell won't return until Sept. 7 at the earliest. Jordyn Adams' contract was selected from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move, and Adams, along with newcomer Randal Grichuk, will help provide outfield depth in the short term. |
|
| Jul 31 2023 | Adell (oblique) is expected to remain out for a significant amount of time, though he's likely to return at some point this season, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell has been sidelined since July 8 due to an oblique strain that Blum describes as "significant." The outfielder had slashed .231/.286/.692 with a home run and a 42.9 percent strikeout rate over 14 plate appearances in the majors prior to getting hurt, though he put up big numbers in Triple-A with a .959 OPS and 23 homers across 318 plate appearances. Taylor Ward (face) recently went on the IL to open a spot in the Angels outfield, but the team subsequently acquired Randal Grichuk in a trade and could also get Mike Trout (wrist) back in the coming weeks, so Adell isn't likely to have more than a reserve spot waiting for him if he sticks with the big club when he's able to return. |
|
| Jul 14 2023 | Adell (left oblique strain) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: For comparison, teammate Zach Neto just returned after missing exactly a month with an oblique strain, so Adell's absence could stretch into August. With Neto getting activated, the Angels could continue to experience with Luis Rengifo in the outfield, at least against lefties. Adell is hitting .231 with a 42.9 percent strikeout rate in five games. |
|
| Jul 8 2023 | Adell exited Saturday's game against the Dodgers with left oblique discomfort. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell was pulled from the game after his first plate appearance of the game. Oblique injuries often cause a lengthy absence, though Adell will at least have six days to rest prior to the Angels' next game. It's unclear if he'll require a stint on the injured list. |
|
| Jul 7 2023 | Adell is starting in center field and batting fifth Friday against the Dodgers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's the second straight start for Adell, who played left field and hit cleanup Wednesday against the Padres. He's already tallied a double, a triple and two RBI in five at-bats since being recalled Tuesday from Triple-A Salt Lake. The 24-year-old has a real chance to shine with Mike Trout (wrist) facing a multi-month absence. |
|
| Jul 5 2023 | Adell is starting in left field and batting cleanup Wednesday in San Diego, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell didn't start Tuesday in his first game back in the majors, but he came off the bench to deliver an RBI triple and is in the lineup a day later. He and his Angels teammates will be squaring off against Seth Lugo. |
|
| Jul 4 2023 | Adell was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell has dominated as usual at Salt Lake this season with a .956 OPS, 23 home runs and nine stolen bases. He homered in his lone game with the Angels earlier this year but overall has struggled mightily during his opportunities at the big-league level. Adell is taking Mike Trout's (wrist) spot on the roster and could see a decent amount of playing time during this stint in the majors, although there's no guarantee. |
|
| Jun 27 2023 | The Angels optioned Adell to Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell was recalled Monday to serve as a temporary roster replacement for Eduardo Escobar, who was on the restricted list for personal reasons. Now that Escobar is back, Adell will head back to Triple-A, where he has shone with a .273/.364/.583 slash line. |
|
| Jun 26 2023 | The Angels recalled Adell from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell has appeared in one game this season for the Angels, in which he was 1-for-3 with a home run and a walk. He's been great in Triple-A, slashing .278/.364/.563 with 21 homers and 53 RBI across 291 plate appearances -- though Adell has struggled in the past with turning minor-league success into major-league results. Eduardo Escobar was placed on the restricted list in a corresponding move as he takes his citizenship test. |
|
| Jun 10 2023 | Adell was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake by the Angels on Saturday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell heads down to Triple-A after Hunter Renfroe was reinstated from the paternity list by the Angels on Saturday. Adell has crushed Triple-A pitching, but he will likely need an injury or trade in order to get another chance of consistent MLB playing time in 2023. |
|
| Jun 9 2023 | Adell is out of the lineup Friday against the Mariners. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell slugged a long home run in his first major-league plate appearance of the year Thursday against the Cubs, but he'll ride the pine Friday as the Angels open a three-game weekend series versus the Mariners and right-hander Luis Castillo. Taylor Ward, Mike Trout and Mickey Moniak are starting across the outfield. Adell could be sent back down to Triple-A Salt Lake when Hunter Renfroe returns from paternity leave. |
|
| Jun 8 2023 | Adell is starting in right field and hitting sixth Thursday versus the Cubs. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell was called up by the Angels on Wednesday and will make his season debut for the club in Thursday night's series finale against Chicago. He might only remain on the major-league roster until Hunter Renfroe (paternity) returns, but the 24-year-old could at least put a good foot forward for an extended look down the line. He has again lit up the Triple-A level in 2023, registering a .958 OPS and 18 home runs in 55 games. |
|
| Jun 7 2023 | Adell was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell was undoubtedly deserving of a promotion, having collected a .958 OPS with 18 home runs this season with Salt Lake. He's still striking out at a 29.2 percent rate, though, and might only be up with the big club for as long as Hunter Renfroe is on paternity leave. Adell is not in the Angels' lineup Wednesday but is expected to start Thursday versus lefty Drew Smyly, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. |
|
| Mar 18 2023 | Adell is expected to begin the season at Triple-A, MLB.com reports. He's hitting .250 with two home runs in a .734 OPS this spring. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell had a problematic 37.7% strikeout rate last season and it's been a similar story this spring. He has 16 strikeouts and just two walks in 39 plate appearances this spring. |
|
| Oct 1 2022 | Adell went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a 4-1 victory over the Rangers on Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell homered off Glenn Otto in the second inning for his eighth long ball of the season. It has been a disappointing year for Adell, who has struggled immensely to get on base and has found himself on the short side of an outfield platoon due to his .263 OBP and weak fielding. The silver lining is that Adell has set career highs in at-bats and homers and is still only 23 years old. |
|
| Sep 14 2022 | Adell is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell will take a seat for the fourth time in six games and appears to have moved into the short side of a platoon in left field with the lefty-hitting Mickey Moniak, who is serving as the Angels' leadoff man for the second day in a row. Since the All-Star break, Adell has turned in a .609 OPS while striking out at a 38.1 percent clip, which has made it tough for the Angels to justify giving him everyday playing time. |
|
| Sep 10 2022 | Adell isn't starting Saturday against the Astros, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell has hit just .118 with a solo home run, a double, two runs and eight strikeouts over six games since the start of September. He'll take a seat for a second consecutive game while Mickey Moniak starts in left field and bats seventh. |
|
| Sep 9 2022 | Adell is not in the lineup Friday against the Astros, Edwin Perez of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell will get a day off Friday against Houston after slashing just .118/.118/.353 over the past week. Mickey Moniak will take over in left field for him and bat eighth. |
|
| Sep 7 2022 | Adell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Tigers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell was on the bench for consecutive games against Houston over the weekend, but he appears to have settled back into a near-everyday role. He went back-to-back with Mike Ford in the second inning for his seventh long ball of the season, which ended a 2-for-23 slide over the previous eight contests. Adell will draw his fourth start in a row in Wednesday's series finale, manning left field and batting seventh. |
|
| Sep 3 2022 | Adell will sit Saturday against the Astros, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Even in a lost season, the Angels don't seem all that committed to giving Adell the chance to prove himself, as he's now been on the bench for three of the last four games. His .224/.270/.368 slash line in 65 games and his 36.7 percent strikeout rate don't make a great case for regular at-bats, but he's still a 23-year-old who had plenty of prospect pedigree before he made his debut in 2020. Ryan Aguilar will start in left field Saturday. |
|
| Sep 2 2022 | Adell isn't starting Friday against Houston, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell went 0-for-3 during Wednesday's win over the Yankees and will take a seat for the second time in the last three games. Ryan Aguilar is starting in left field and batting eighth. |
|
| Aug 30 2022 | Adell is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell started the past six contests and will head to the bench Tuesday after going 6-for-21 with two home runs and four RBI during that stretch. Magneuris Sierra will take over in left field and bat eighth. |
|
| Aug 27 2022 | Adell went 4-for-5 with two home runs, three runs scored and three RBI in Friday's 12-0 win over the Blue Jays. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After lacing a couple singles early, Adell took his production into overdrive with a seventh-inning solo shot off Yusei Kikuchi and a two-run blast in the ninth off emergency hurler Whit Merrifield. Adell snapped an 18-game homer drought with the performance, and the four hits equaled his total from his prior nine games combined. Even with this outburst, the 23-year-old is still only slashing .230/.292/.402 through 31 games since the All-Star break. |
|
| Aug 23 2022 | Adell is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After a recent two-game absence due to a thumb injury, Adell started in each of the past four contests and went 2-for-12 with eight strikeouts. Though Magneuris Sierra will pick up the starting nod in left field Tuesday, the non-contending Angels will likely continue to deploy Adell as an everyday player down the stretch with the hope that he can cut down on his strikeouts and emerge as a productive regular in the lineup. |
|
| Aug 19 2022 | Adell (thumb) is starting Friday against the Tigers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell sat out the last two games with a thumb injury but will be back in action following Thursday's scheduled day off. He's starting in left field and batting seventh during Friday's series opener against Detroit. |
|
| Aug 17 2022 | Adell (thumb) remains out of the lineup Wednesday against the Mariners, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell hurt his thumb while serving as a pinch hitter Monday and will be excluded from the lineup for a second consecutive game. He'll have an additional day to recover since the Angels have a scheduled day off Thursday. Steven Duggar is starting in left field and batting seventh Wednesday. |
|
| Aug 16 2022 | Adell (thumb) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old injured his thumb while striking out during a pinch-hit appearance Monday and will be held out of the lineup for at least one game. Steven Duggar will receive the start in left field Tuesday in Adell's stead. |
|
| Aug 15 2022 | Adell isn't starting Monday against the Mariners, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell is getting a breather after he went 2-for-7 with a double, two runs and three strikeouts over the last two games. Steven Duggar will take over in left field and bat sixth. |
|
| Aug 6 2022 | Adell is not in the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mariners. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell made a mental mistake late in the afternoon contest, so his absence from the Game 2 lineup could at least partly be attributed to that. Magneuris Sierra will start in left field in the nightcap. |
|
| Aug 3 2022 | Adell isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Athletics, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell went 1-for-3 with a run and a strikeout Tuesday against Oakland and will be out of the lineup for the second time in the last three games. Magneuris Sierra is starting in left field and batting ninth. |
|
| Jul 31 2022 | Adell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After moving past an arm issue that kept him out for two games earlier in the week, Adell returned to the starting nine Friday and Saturday and went a combined 1-for-6 with a double and two walks. Adell doesn't appear to have suffered any sort of setback since rejoining the lineup, but he'll hit the bench Sunday nonetheless while Dillon Thomas gets a look in the corner outfield. |
|
| Jul 29 2022 | Adell (arm) went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk in Friday's 7-2 loss to the Rangers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell missed two games with a bruised arm, though he appeared as a pinch hitter Thursday. The double was his first extra-base hit in his current stint on the big-league roster, which began July 13. The 23-year-old outfielder has a .235/.283/.361 slash line with three home runs, three stolen bases, 13 RBI and six runs scored in 36 contests, so he'll likely continue to compete with Taylor Ward and Brandon Marsh for starts in the Angels' outfield sans Mike Trout (ribs). |
|
| Jul 28 2022 | Adell (arm) isn't starting Thursday against the Rangers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell is dealing with some bruising and stiffness on his arm and sat out Wednesday against the Royals, and he'll be held out of the lineup for a second consecutive game. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available off the bench Thursday, but Brandon Marsh, Magneuris Sierra and Taylor Ward will start in the outfield from left to right. |
|
| Jul 27 2022 | Angels interim manager Phil Nevin said Adell is dealing with some bruising and stiffness on his arm, but the outfielder could be available off the bench for Wednesday's game in Kansas City, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-0 win over the Royals, but he was lifted in the top of the seventh for a pinch runner after he was hit by a pitch in his final plate appearance of the night. The 23-year-old is apparently still experiencing some residual soreness, but Nevin seemed to downplay any concern about Adell's injury. Look for Adell to rejoin the lineup at some point during the Angels' four-game series with the Rangers that begins Thursday. |
|
| Jul 26 2022 | Adell went 1-for-3 with an RBI, a stolen base and a hit-by-pitch in Tuesday's 6-0 win over the Royals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the seventh inning to force in the Angels' fifth run. He's had spotty hitting since the All-Star break, going 3-for-15 (.200) with two RBI and a run scored in his last five games. He's holding onto a regular role in the corner outfield spots, and it's one he'll likely have until Mike Trout (ribs) can return. Adell is slashing .235/.279/.357 with three steals, three home runs, 13 RBI and six runs scored through 122 plate appearances. |
|
| Jul 25 2022 | Adell went 2-for-4 with a run and an RBI in Sunday's 9-1 win against Atlanta. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Coming into the contest, Adell had gone 0-for-12 with five strikeouts over his previous four games. The contact issues continued -- he struck out twice more Sunday -- but Adell produced two hits, including a first-inning RBI single, in the victory. The 23-year-old has struggled to make an impact thus far in his big-league career, and he's slashing a modest .239/.272/.367 with three home runs, 12 RBI and two stolen bases over 114 plate appearances this season. |
|
| Jul 13 2022 | Adell went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Astros. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Mike Trout (back) out, Adell was brought up when Monte Harrison was designated for assignment. Adell immediately made an impact upon his return, providing an insurance run with an RBI single in the sixth inning. The outfielder is now slashing .258/.283/.416 with three home runs, 11 RBI, five runs scored and two steals in 26 contests. As long as Trout's out, Adell should have a chance to play regularly in right field, though he'd likely drop into a reserve role once the Angels' outfield is at full health. |
|
| Jun 26 2022 | Adell went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, two runs and three RBI for Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday. He had missed the team's previous three games due to a knee injury, according to Sam Blum of The Athletic. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell returned to action with his first multi-hit performance in the minors since May 21 -- a span of 15 contests. The 23-year-old's three-game absence was a result of getting his knee drained, per Blum, but it's not considered a serious concern. Adell has played in 28 contests with the Triple-A club this season, slashing .213/.304/.537 with eight homers, 11 doubles, 20 RBI and a stolen base. |
|
| Jun 11 2022 | Adell said after Friday's game that he was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Angels haven't yet announced the move, but Adell revealed that he will be headed back down. Adell enjoyed more success in his latest stint in the majors, going 7-for-19 with a pair of doubles, but he will need to continue performing with Salt Lake to get another prolonged look in the majors. |
|
| Jun 7 2022 | Adell is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell started the past two games after being promoted from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday, and he'll step out of the lineup after going 1-for-7 with an RBI and three strikeouts. Juan Lagares will start in right field and bat seventh Tuesday. |
|
| Jun 5 2022 | Adell was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Taylor Ward was placed on the 10-day injured list with a hamstring strain, and manager Joe Maddon made it clear that Adell would not be up were it not for Ward's injury. Adell hit .122 with one home run, five walks and 18 strikeouts over his last 11 games at Triple-A. |
|
| May 15 2022 | Adell is slashing .355/.500/1.032 with five home runs, six doubles, 12 runs, 10 RBI and a stolen base across 40 plate appearances since his demotion to Triple-A Salt Lake on May 3. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell broke camp with the Angels and was expected to see plenty of playing time in the majors, but he struggled offensively and defensively and was consequently sent down to work on his game. The 23-year-old has overwhelmed Triple-A pitching, as he has gone deep in five of his past seven games. Adell has also posted a promising 8:10 BB:K with Salt Lake after drawing just one walk while striking out 24 times during his stint in the majors. It's likely that Adell will be called back up to the big club in time, especially if he keeps mashing in the minors, though he'd likely be a fourth outfielder at this point given the early-season success of Brandon Marsh and Taylor Ward. |
|
| May 3 2022 | Adell was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell is still just 23 years old and has plenty of potential, but he'd fallen into a part-time role in left field and wasn't making the most of his opportunities. His lopsided .231/.242/.431 slash line is good for a nearly average 96 wRC+, but his combination of a 36.4 percent strikeout rate and a 1.5 percent walk rate couldn't get much uglier. He'll try to get his bat going in regular at-bats at the Triple-A level, with Jose Rojas recalled to serve as a bench outfielder. |
|
| May 1 2022 | Adell will start in left field and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the White Sox. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Mike Trout overcoming a hand injury just over a week ago and Brandon Marsh moving past a brief bout with a stomach illness, Adell has transitioned into a short-side platoon/fourth outfielder role for the Angels. Though he'll crack the lineup Sunday against left-hander Dallas Keuchel, the righty-hitting Adell is starting for only the second time in six games. |
|
| Apr 24 2022 | Adell went 1-for-3 with a grand slam in a 7-6 win Sunday over Baltimore. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell capped off a six-run first inning with a grand slam. The 23-year-old has now hit safely in five straight and eight of his last nine. Most notably, Sunday was the first time all season where he did not strike out in the game, lowering his strikeout rate to 42 percent. The outfielder has displayed his power stroke in the early going with six extra-base hits and a .490 SLG. |
|
| Apr 21 2022 | Adell went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Astros. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old outfielder continues to put his shaky start to the season behind him. Adell has hit safely in six of the last seven games, slashing .286/.310/.464 over that stretch with two doubles and a homer. His 37.9 percent strikeout rate in that time remains troubling, however, and Adell will need to learn to make more consistent contact if he's ever going to come close to being the player his minor-league performances suggested. |
|
| Apr 19 2022 | Adell went 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI in a 7-2 win Tuesday over the Astros. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell doubled in the second, drove in a run with a single in the fourth and added another single in the seventh. The former top prospect is 9-for-30 over his last eight games with five extra-base hits. He struck out twice on Tuesday and has a 47.5 percent strikeout rate in his first 40 plate appearances on the season and only one walk. |
|
| Apr 16 2022 | Adell went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-6 victory versus Texas. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell gave the Angels a two-run lead in the second inning with his 447-foot solo smash to left field. The long ball was his fourth hit, each of which has gone for extra bases (two doubles, two homers). However, Adell has struggled to make contact early on this season, striking out at least once in every game in which he has played and fanning 12 times overall in just 21 plate appearances. He has yet to work a walk. |
|
| Apr 14 2022 | Adell isn't starting Thursday's game against the Rangers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell drew starts in each of the last three games and went 2-for-10 with a homer, a double, two RBI and four strikeouts. Brandon Marsh will start in left field while Jose Rojas takes over in right. |
|
| Apr 11 2022 | Adell went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, double and an additional RBI in Monday's 8-2 victory over the Marlins. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell made the most of a surprise start due to a late Mike Trout scratch and delivered with his best line of the young season by far. He took opposing starter Elieser Hernandez 430-feet deep to center in the second inning and later tacked on an RBI double in the eighth for his first hits this year. Adell should continue to see a part-time role until he finally delivers on his lofty potential. |
|
| Apr 10 2022 | Adell is starting in left field and hitting fifth Sunday against the Astros, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell sat both Friday and Saturday in favor of Brandon Marsh and Jose Rojas. He'll return to the lineup Sunday, with Marsh being the odd-man out. As it currently stands, Mike Trout is the only everyday outfielder in Los Angeles, with Marsh, Adell and Rojas competing for time at the corner spots. |
|
| Apr 9 2022 | Adell is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Early indications seem to be that Adell is stuck in a platoon role for now. He started in left field on Opening Day against lefty Framber Valdez but has been on the bench against righties Jake Odorizzi and Justin Verlander. Brandon Marsh starts in left field Saturday, with Jose Rojas in right. That's the second straight start for Rojas, who appears to be taking the at-bats that were previously ticketed for Taylor Ward (groin). |
|
| Apr 8 2022 | Angels manager Joe Maddon indicated Thursday that Taylor Ward (groin) was slated to be the team's everyday right fielder before his injury while Adell and Brandon Marsh were expected to platoon in left, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Maddon had previously said that all three of the trio of outfielders were targeted for 450 to 500 at-bats over the course of the season, but his statement Thursday suggests that Ward was likely to see more playing time than his young counterparts. Ward's injury threw a wrench into the stated plan before the regular season kicked off, and it remains to be seen if Maddon will stick to the scenario upon Ward's return. It's notable that Adell was held out of the starting lineup Friday in just the second game of the regular season while Marsh started in left field and Jose Rojas took over in right. Adell and/or Marsh could potentially cement an everyday role with a strong start to the campaign, but Adell has struggled mightily out of the gate, going 0-for-5 with five strikeouts so far. |
|
| Apr 3 2022 | Angels managers Joe Maddon said Saturday that he wants to get each of Adell, Brandon Marsh and Taylor Ward 450 to 500 at-bats this season, Scott Bordow of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell is penciled into a starting role in right field for the Angels, with Marsh expected to be the team's starter in left. Ward is also expected to see plenty of time in the outfield, so none of the trio of players will necessarily take on a truly everyday workload. However, the organization's decision Saturday to DFA Justin Upton opens up more playing time for all three. Adell has enjoyed a strong spring, slashing .273/.306/.636 with three home runs, eight RBI and three stolen bases over 36 plate appearances. |
|
| Mar 18 2022 | Adell (abdomen) will bat cleanup and play right field Friday against Oakland, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell missed the tail end of last season with an abdominal injury, but the issue won't carry over into this year. Still just 22 years old, Adell retains plenty of upside. His .246/.295/.408 slash line in 140 trips to the plate last season was unconvincing, but he at least cut his strikeout rate from an ugly 41.7 percent in a similar sample size the year prior down to 22.9 percent. |
|
| Oct 1 2021 | Adell (abdomen) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell's move to the 60-day IL is procedural since the outfielder was ruled out for the remainder of the season in mid-September. The 22-year-old appeared in 35 games after he was called up, and he slashed .246/.295/.408 with four home runs, 26 RBI, 17 runs and two stolen bases. |
|
| Sep 15 2021 | Manager Joe Maddon said Wednesday he doesn't anticipate Adell (abdomen) returning from the injured list before the end of the season, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 22-year-old landed on the shelf earlier in the day with the left abdominal strain he suffered in a collision with the outfield wall Saturday, and he's apparently experiencing issues rotating and swinging a bat. Given there's less than three weeks left in the regular season, it's not a major surprise Adell isn't expected back given his current limitations. He hasn't been officially ruled out but is likely to finish 2021 with his current .246/.295/.408 slash line, four homers, 26 RBI and 17 runs in 140 plate appearances. |
|
| Sep 14 2021 | Adell (undisclosed soreness) is not in the lineup Tuesday against the White Sox. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manager Joe Maddon said that Adell was held out of Sunday's lineup because of soreness after the outfielder ran into the outfield wall Saturday. He'll sit for the second game in a row Tuesday, and it remains to be seen if he'll be available off the bench. Adell can remain considered day-to-day as Juan Lagares starts in right field Tuesday. |
|
| Sep 12 2021 | Manager Joe Maddon said Adell, who's not in Sunday's lineup, is sore after hitting the outfield wall Saturday night, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Maddon said it's possible Adell will be available off the bench in Sunday's series finale against the Astros. Adell has gone 1-for-5 in consecutive games and is hitting .297 with a triple, three home runs and eight RBI in his last 10 contests. Phil Gosselin is starting in left field and batting third Sunday. |
|
| Sep 9 2021 | Adell went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's loss to the Padres. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 22-year-old took Daniel Hudson deep in the eighth inning for his fourth homer of the campaign. Though his batting average sits at a modest .250, Adell has been improving at the plate, slashing .450/.500/.900 with three homers, eight RBI and a stolen base over his current six-game hitting streak. |
|
| Sep 8 2021 | Adell went 1-for-4 with three RBI in Tuesday's win over the Padres. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell might have finished with just one knock, but he was still responsible for three of the team's four runs in a big win over one of the best teams in the National League -- he delivered a two-run single in the top of the seventh and later added another RBI on a groundout that scored Phil Gosselin. Perhaps more importantly, Adell has now extended his hitting streak to five games, a span in which he's gone 8-for-17 (.471) with two homers, six RBI and three runs. |
|
| Sep 6 2021 | Adell went 3-for-3 with two home runs, three RBI and a walk in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Rangers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell had one of his biggest offensive games in his young career. He reached base in all four plate appearances, highlighted by two home runs off Taylor Hearn. He is batting .325 over his last 12 games. The 22-year-old is slashing .245/.297/.391 with three long balls, 21 RBI and 14 runs scored in 118 plate appearances on the season. |
|
| Sep 5 2021 | Adell went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Saturday's 4-1 win over Texas. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Angels managed only six hits in the contest, but that was enough to pull out the victory as Jose Suarez held the Rangers to a lone run. Adell contributed with a fifth-inning single and steal, though he was ultimately stranded at second base. The 22-year-old has stolen as many as 15 bags during one minor-league season (2018), so he has some potential to contribute in that area as he establishes himself in the majors. |
|
| Aug 25 2021 | Adell went 2-for-5 with a triple, two runs and four RBI in Wednesday's 14-8 victory versus Baltimore. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell's first big-league triple brought home two runs in the second inning, and he knocked in two more with a single in the following frame. He has two four-RBI games since Aug. 17 but is batting only .179 in 28 at-bats over that stretch. |
|
| Aug 18 2021 | Adell went 1-for-5 with a grand slam during Tuesday's win over the Tigers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With the bases loaded during a tied game with two outs in the ninth, Adell took Gregory Soto deep to earn his first major-league home run of the season. Since getting called up Aug. 2, the 22-year-old is batting .231/.286/.365. |
|
| Aug 10 2021 | Adell is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Blue Jays. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in the matinee and will be on the bench for Game 2. Adam Eaton will start in right field in his absence. |
|
| Aug 3 2021 | Adell went 3-for-4 with three RBI, two doubles, a stolen base and a walk Tuesday against the Rangers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell made his first major-league appearance of the season and delivered an excellent opening performance. He drew a walk in his first plate appearance and followed that up by delivering a two-run double and RBI single later in the game. Though no conclusions can be drawn from one contest, perhaps most encouraging was that Adell did not strike out. In 132 MLB appearances in 2020, Adell struck out at a 41.7 percent clip. His inability to make consistent contact continued this season with Triple-A Salt Lake, where he punched out at a 29.2 percent rate before being promoted. |
|
| Aug 2 2021 | Adell was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake ahead of Monday's game against Texas. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell is in line to see his first major-league action of the season after hitting .289 with 23 homers, 69 RBI and eight stolen bases through 311 at-bats with Salt Lake. He figures to see plenty of action in center field until Mike Trout is cleared to return. |
|
| May 24 2021 | Adell has hit six home runs in his past five games with Triple-A Salt Lake and is up to 10 total long balls in 17 contests this season. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell has continued to experience strikeout issues -- he has whiffed in over one-third of his at-bats -- but he's also shown off his prodigious power with Triple-A Salt Lake. The Angels are in last place in the AL West and recently lost superstar outfielder Mike Trout (calf) for an extended period, so it wouldn't be surprising if Adell made his way back to the big leagues before long. |
|
| May 19 2021 | The Angels have no immediate plans to call up Adell or Brandon Marsh from Triple-A Salt Lake after Mike Trout was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a calf strain that will likely keep him sidelined for 6-to-8 weeks, Daniel Guerrero of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Marsh is the top prospect in the Angels' farm system, while the 22-year-old Adell has graduated from prospect status but is still regarded as one of the organization's top young assets. Adell floundered in his first taste of the big leagues in 2020, and he has yet to return to peak form thus far during the young minor-league season. Through 12 games and 57 plate appearances at Triple-A, Adell is slashing .231/.298/.519 with an 8.8 percent walk rate and a 36.8 percent strikeout rate. Until Adell makes a compelling case for a call-up or until the Angels are willing to start Marsh's MLB service clock, Taylor Ward and Juan Lagares are expected to see most of the work in center field while Trout is out. |
|
| May 11 2021 | Adell went 2-for-5 with a pair of home runs and five RBI for Triple-A Salt Lake in its 10-9 win over Reno on Monday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell has gotten off to a blazing start to the minor-league season, producing a .273/.333/.773 slash line with three home runs, one stolen base and a 2:8 BB:K in 24 plate appearances. After Adell endured a rough showing in his first taste of the big leagues in 2020, the Angels wanted the 22-year-old to regain some confidence at Triple-A, and that plan appears to be working well so far. Whenever the Angels feel Adell is ready for another look in the majors, he'll have an everyday role in right field waiting for him. The Angels are currently using Taylor Ward at the position, but he's batting just .150 and doesn't project as a regular at the big-league level. |
|
| May 4 2021 | Adell will play for Triple-A Salt Lake when the minor-league season gets underway, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After struggling to a .161/.212/.266 slash line in 132 at-bats at the big-league level last season, the Angels determined Adell would be best off getting more minor-league seasoning before jumping back up to the majors. That opportunity will come at Triple-A, which is no surprise given that the 22-year-old played 27 games at that level in 2019. Adell is likely to spend time with the big club at some point this season. |
|
| Mar 21 2021 | Adell was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell spent most of the 2020 campaign on the major-league roster but slashed .161/.212/.266 with three home runs and seven RBI over 38 games while also struggling defensively. The 21-year-old posted a 1.072 OPS with two home runs and six RBI over 19 Cactus League at-bats this spring but will still require some time in the minors to begin the regular season. However, Adell is a strong candidate to return to the big-league roster in 2021 if he can produce at Triple-A Salt Lake. |
|
| Mar 15 2021 | The Angels list Adell (knee) as an available reserve player for Monday's Cactus League game against the Reds, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell picked up a knee contusion over the weekend when he collided with the outfield wall, but his inclusion on the lineup card Monday implies that the injury isn't a concern for the young outfielder. The 21-year-old is expected to begin the season at Triple-A Salt Lake, but if he rakes right away against Pacific Coast League competition, he might not have to wait long to get another look with the Angels in an everyday role in the corner outfield. |
|
| Mar 14 2021 | Adell was diagnosed with a bruised knee after exiting Saturday's Cactus League game against the White Sox, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The young outfielder was fortunate to avoid a more serious injury after he collided with a wall while tracking a flyball. The Angels described his removal from Saturday's contest as precaution, and though he'll remain out of the lineup Sunday against the Cubs, Adell should be cleared to play within the next few days. He's slated to complete a light workout Sunday and is considered day-to-day. |
|
| Mar 13 2021 | Adell was removed from Saturday's spring game against the White Sox as a precautionary measure, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell collided with the outfield wall during the second inning and remained in the field for the rest of the frame. However, he was removed from the game after the inning ended. The Angels didn't provide an injury diagnosis for Adell, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be forced to miss additional time. |
|
| Mar 6 2021 | Adell went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and a walk in Saturday's Cactus League loss to the Rockies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell entered the contest hitless in six at-bats before smashing a two-run shot in the second inning off Dereck Rodriguez. The 21-year-old is competing for an Opening Day roster spot, but the February addition of Dexter Fowler and Adell's substantial struggles last season make it more likely that he'll begin the campaign at Triple-A. |

| Mar 3 2021 | Adell played five innings in left field against the Reds during Tuesday's Cactus League contest and went 0-for-2 with a strikeout at the plate. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The time in left field was unusual for Adell, as he played mostly in right field last season, adding a few appearances in center. He did log 22 appearances in left in the minors between 2018 and 2019, so the position is not entirely new for him. There's no indication that the Angels are planning to play the 21-year-old in left field this season, so Tuesday's showing may simply have been an early-spring experiment. |
|
| Feb 26 2021 | Adell spent time quieting his swing over the winter in hopes of hitting more line drives up the middle, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell clearly needed to work on something following his disastrous debut last year in which he hit just .161/.212/.266 in 38 games. He's still just 21 years old, so writing him off at this stage would be incredibly premature, but the gap between what he was and what he's supposed to one day be is uncomfortably large. Quieting his swing makes a lot of sense, as his 41.7 percent strikeout rate stands out as one of the worst features of his statline, though it comes with the risk of taking a bit of the pop out of his bat. Adell is expected to open the season in the minors, so we'll have the chance to see how his adjustments are working out before he returns to the big leagues. |
|
| Feb 4 2021 | The Angels' acquisition of Dexter Fowler means it's likely that Adell will start the 2021 season in the minor leagues, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Registerreports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manager Joe Maddon had made clear earlier in the offseason that he believed Adell had to refine his game in the minor leagues. However, now the team has the depth in its outfield to make Adell's demotion a reality, as the starting outfield projects to be Justin Upton, Mike Trout and Fowler. Adell struggled mightily in his first taste of big-league pitching, hitting just .161/.212/.266 across 132 plate appearances. |
|
| Dec 18 2020 | Adell is expected to spend more time in the minors this season, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manager Joe Maddon stated Friday that Adell still has more developing to do in the minors, and it's hard to disagree with that assessment. The 21-year-old didn't have much success at the Triple-A level in 2019, posting a .264/.321/.355 slash line (good for just a 67 wRC+) in 27 games for Salt Lake, but he was called on nonetheless for his 38-game big-league debut last year. He had even less success at the highest level, hitting a miserable .161/.212/.266 while striking out in 41.7 percent of his plate appearances. Adell remains quite young and quite talented, but he might not get the chance to display that talent in the majors until later in the season. |
|
| Sep 20 2020 | Adell is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rangers, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell's playing time has nosedived over the past week and is on the bench for the fifth time in the past six games. Taylor Ward receives the start in right field for the Halos. |
|
| Sep 19 2020 | Adell remains out of the lineup Saturday against the Rangers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell will retreat to the bench for the fourth time in the past five games. Jared Walsh will shift to right field with Albert Pujols starting at first base. |
|
| Sep 18 2020 | Adell isn't in Friday's lineup against the Rangers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell will take a seat for the third time in the last four games as he's in the midst of a cold spell at the plate. Taylor Ward will start in right field once again. |
|
| Sep 17 2020 | Adell is not in the lineup Thursday versus the Diamondbacks, Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell will hit the bench for the second time in the past three games as he's mired in an 0-for-24 slump. Taylor Ward enters the lineup in right field for the Angels. |
|
| Sep 15 2020 | Adell isn't in Tuesday's lineup against the Diamondbacks. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell has been in a slump recently as he's gone 0-for-20 with one walk and 10 strikeouts over the past six games. He'll retreat to the bench with Taylor Ward starting in right field. |
|
| Sep 11 2020 | Adell is out of the lineup Friday against the Rockies. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell is 0-for-11 with five strikeouts over his past three games and will receive the day off Friday. Taylor Ward will start in right field and bat seventh for the Halos. |
|
| Sep 6 2020 | Adell went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI during a 10-9 win over the Astros in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The rookie had his best overall performance yet in the majors. He robbed George Springer of a potential homer on the third pitch of the game, launched a solo shot to right field in the fourth, then poked a walkoff, two-run single down the first-base line in the seventh. After going 1-for-4 in the nightcap, Adell is still slashing only .180/.240/.303 with three homers, seven RBI and a 40.6 percent strikeout rate through his first 25 big-league games, but the 21-year-old is flashing the upside that makes him RotoWire's No. 4 overall fantasy prospect. |
|
| Sep 4 2020 | Adell is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell has struggled significantly in his first 22 big-league games, hitting just .163/.230/.263, though the Angels, who sit second-last in the American League, have had little reason not to let him try to work through his struggles. Taylor Ward will spell him in right field Friday. |
|
| Aug 30 2020 | Adell went 2-for-3 with two home runs and three RBI in Saturday's 16-3 win over the Mariners. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Eighteen games into his MLB career, Adell finally has his first two home runs, both of which came off left-handers (Justus Sheffield and Aaron Fletcher). The 21-year-old was held in high esteem for his raw power while climbing through the Angels' farm system, but he's thus far had difficulty translating his skills at the game's top level. A 41.1 percent strikeout rate has been the biggest culprit, saddling Adell with a .191/.247/.307 slash line through his first 73 MLB plate appearances. |
|
| Aug 25 2020 | Adell is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Astros. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He is hitting .167 with a 13:3 K:BB in 36 at-bats over his last 10 games. Justin Upton and Brian Goodwin will start in the outfield corners, batting eighth and ninth, respectively. |
|
| Aug 19 2020 | Adell is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Giants, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell started the past three games and went 3-for-11 with a walk, four strikeouts and a caught stealing, but he'll take a seat Wednesday. Justin Upton will start in left field, shifting Brian Goodwin to right. |
|
| Aug 15 2020 | Adell is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell has started seven out of 11 games since making his first career start back on Aug. 4. He's done very little at the plate thus far, grabbing just four hits in 24 at-bats and striking out 13 times. Brian Goodwin will start in right field in his absence. |
|
| Aug 11 2020 | Adell is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Athletics, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The rookie outfielder has struggled through his first five big-league appearances, going 3-for-19 with one run scored and 11 strikeouts while also committing a four-base error. Adell missed Thursday's and Friday's contests with quadriceps soreness, but he was in the lineup the past three days and there's been no indication he aggravated the injury. Justin Upton and Brian Goodwin will start in left and right field Tuesday. |
|
| Aug 10 2020 | Adell went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in Sunday's loss to the Rangers. He also committed a four-base error that allowed a run to score. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's hard to imagine Adell ever having a worse day on the field, especially considering his immense talent. The rookie not only whiffed all four times he came to the plate, he also allowed a Nick Solak flyball to bounce off his glove and over the outfield wall in the fifth inning for a rare four-base error. Adell's career has gotten off to a slow start -- he has collected only two hits (both singles) while striking out nine times in 15 at-bats -- and he acknowledged Sunday that he hasn't quite adjusted to the demands of the big leagues yet, per Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times. "I think I'm not there yet. I'm ready to get there. I'm on my way to getting there," Adell stated. |
|
| Aug 8 2020 | Adell (quad) is back in the lineup Saturday against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell didn't appear in the past two games while he worked through quad tightness, but he'll return to the seventh spot in the lineup Saturday. Over his first two major-league games, Adell went 2-for-4 with one run and four strikeouts. |
|
| Aug 7 2020 | Adell (quad) remains out of the lineup Friday against the Rangers. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell was held out of Thursday's game with quadriceps tightness, and he won't start again as he continues to recover. Manager Joe Maddon didn't sound too concerned about the issue prior to Thursday's contest, and it's unclear whether the 21-year-old will be available off the bench Friday. Brian Goodwin will shift to right field with Justin Upton getting the start in left field. |
|
| Aug 6 2020 | Adell is dealing with a little quadriceps tightness, which is why he is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manager Joe Maddon said he thinks it will just be a one-game absence for Adell. The top prospect is 2-for-8 with four strikeouts through his first two MLB games. Justin Upton and Brian Goodwin are batting sixth and seventh, respectively, in Adell's absence. |
|
| Aug 5 2020 | Adell went 1-for-4 with a base hit and a strikeout Tuesday in the Angels' 5-3 win over the Mariners. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Making his MLB debut in right field and batting seventh, Adell reached base in his first plate appearance, showing off his premium speed by legging out a dribbler to third base for an infield single. Adell didn't have much to write home about the rest of the night, but manager Joe Maddon's comments prior to the game suggesting that the 21-year-old will play on a full-time basis was probably more significant than the 1-for-4 stat line. With Adell locked in as the everyday right fielder alongside Mike Trout in center, Justin Upton and Brian Goodwin are now expected to settle for platoon work in left. |
|
| Aug 4 2020 | Adell will start in right field and bat seventh in his major-league debut Tuesday in Seattle, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 21-year-old will take over the starting role in right field, with manager Joe Maddon saying that he "needs to play pretty much every day," according to Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com. Justin Upton and Brian Goodwin will operate as a platoon in left field. Adell is one of the top prospects in the league and struggled in his stint at Triple-A last season, though he had a .943 OPS in 43 games at Double-A. |
|
| Aug 3 2020 | Adell was called up by the Angels on Monday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell is one of the top prospects in baseball, though there's no guarantee that he's destined for immediate success at the highest level. He cruised to a .308/.390/.553 slash line in 43 games for Double-A Mobile last season but struggled to a .264/.321/.355 line in 27 games upon promotion to Triple-A Salt Lake. Power is his carrying tool, and he has a decent amount of speed as well, but he struck out at a 32.6 percent clip in his brief Triple-A stint, and those swing-and-miss issues could certainly follow him to the majors. |
|
| Jul 23 2020 | The Angels don't include Adell on their season-opening 30-man roster, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell may have had an outside shot of cracking the Opening Day roster with a huge summer camp, but the 21-year-old's defensive shortcomings in right field were enough for the Angels to justify assigning him to their alternate training site. Once the Angels are able to secure an extra year of club control on Adell, his chances of joining the big-league roster should increase. Whenever Adell gets the call, expect some batting average risk due to his high-strikeout tendencies, but his high-end power and speed could make him a difference maker in the counting categories in an abbreviated season. |
|
| Jul 19 2020 | Adell has had some defensive issues in right field during summer camp, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Despite the defensive lapses, Angels manager Joe Maddon indicated that he is not concerned, attributing Adell's struggles to the tricky right-field corner at Angel Stadium and suggesting that the organization's top prospect simply needs more reps at the position. Adell's miscues in the outfield may be part of the reason why Maddon previously expressed a desire not to rush the 21-year-old to the big leagues despite his obvious talent. |
|
| Jul 16 2020 | Adell isn't going to be hurried into a big-league role despite impressing at summer camp, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell has impressed with the bat in intrasquad action, but manager Joe Maddon insisted that the team will be cautious about rushing the organization's top prospect. "He has things to work on, quite frankly," Maddon stated. "Don't be deceived by a couple well-struck balls in a spring training game, whether it's here now or in an actual spring that we just went through. He's making progress. He is a major-league player in the making. But don't try to rush a young man like this. You want to make sure that when you do pull the switch and put him out there that he's absolutely ready for it, that he stays here and he continues to progress." Maddon didn't give a clear answer when asked if Adell would be included on the team's initial 30-man roster, but given the manager's comments, it appears likely Adell will begin the season as part of the satellite squad. |
|
| Jun 30 2020 | Adell will be part of the Angels' 60-man roster. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Adell isn't currently on the 40-man roster but was a lock to make the 60-man roster, given that there won't be a minor-league season. There were a few plate discipline issues in spring that led to manager Joe Maddon suggesting he might need more time in the minors, but it's tough to ignore the 21-year-old's swift advancement from High-A to Triple-A in 2019. Adell still possesses tools that could lead to the coveted speed/power combination. With a strong performance in summer camp, Adell could make the initial 30-man cut since the Angels are in win-now mode. Even if that happens, he will need to produce in order to play regularly over Brian Goodwin. |
|
| Mar 18 2020 | Adell played well this spring but is likely to open the season with Triple-A Salt Lake, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Angels' top prospect hit .280 with a pair of doubles in 25 Cactus League at-bats, leading some to speculate that he could earn a spot on the Opening Day roster. However, manager Joe Maddon indicated late in spring that Adell needs more seasoning in the minors, all but assuring the 20-year-old will head back to Triple-A to begin the campaign. Among the skills Adell needs to work on is plate discipline, as he struck out 13 times without drawing a walk in Cactus League play. |

| Aug 1 2019 | Adell was promoted from Double-A Mobile to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday, Jeff | Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. |

|
| Jun 25 2018 | Adell went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and two runs Sunday for High-A Inland Empire in its 7-2 victory over Lancaster. | Few hitters in the minors have been running as hot lately as Adell, who has turned in four multi-hit outings in his last six games and is slashing .379/.413/.678 overall in June. Despite a slow start after earning a promotion to Inland Empire in late May, the 2017 first-round pick's June surge has lifted him to a .972 OPS through his first 25 games in the California League |
|
| Jun 18 2018 | Adell went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI for High-A Inland Empire in its 3-1 victory over Rancho Cucamonga on Sunday. | Sunday's performance followed a four-hit effort Saturday, giving Adell five games with at least three hits since June 8. Over the past 10 days, he has gone a remarkable 21-for-42 at the dish to prop his average up to .311 over 112 plate appearances in the California League. Adell isn't merely riding a .368 BABIP to the high average, as nearly half (16) of his 33 hits for Inland Empire have gone for extra bases. |
|
| Jun 14 2018 | Adell went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI for High-A Inland Empire in its 4-3 loss to Lancaster on Wednesday. | Adell is riding a nine-game hit streak, with the young slugger collecting multiple base knocks in five of those contests. The 19-year-old is still reaching base at just a .305 clip since earning a promotion to the California League in late May, but dynasty owners should at least be heartened that his plus power (six home runs, 13 extra-base hits in 95 plate appearances) and plus speed (five steals in five attempts) have remained on display. |
