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.

Rotowire
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.

Angels' Jo Adell: Goes deep Friday
Rotowire
Adell went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss to Washington.
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.

Angels' Jo Adell: Records 10th steal
Rotowire

Adell's steal was his first since June 8 and his 10th of the season.

Angels' Jo Adell: Hits late homer Sunday
Rotowire
Adell went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Tigers on Sunday.
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.
