• Angels' Jo Adell: Lost for season

  09/09/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Angels transferred Adell (oblique) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday. 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.

• Angels' Jo Adell: Smacks two homers in win

  09/01/2024 • By RotoWire

  Adell went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs in Saturday's win over Seattle. 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.

  Adell went 0-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Tigers. 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.
