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.
