Austin Adams News
San Diego Padres relievers Austin Adams (elbow) and Pierce Johnson (groin) will begin the season on the injured list. Both injuries are considered short term. Adams appeared in only one spring game on March 7 and forecasted as a middle reliever prior to the injury. The 29-year-old owns a phenomenal 38 percent strikeout rate in 42 career innings. Johnson last pitched on March 16 when he exited with groin tightness and also projected as a middle relief option for the Friars. Johnson, 29, impressed with a 2.70 ERA last season in 24 appearances. Even when they are deemed healthy, neither have a clear path to high-leverage situations and can be bypassed in fantasy.
The San Diego Padres acquired catcher Austin Nola and relievers Austin Adams (knee) and Dan Altavilla from the Seattle Mariners. In exchange, the Friars are sending No. 5 prospect outfielder Taylor Trammell, infielder Ty France, reliever Andres Munoz (elbow) and catcher Luis Torrens to the Pacific Northwest. Nola has broken out as a 30-year-old backstop, registering a .903 OPS, five homers and 34 runs-plus-RBI in 110 plate appearances. Hell share time behind the dish with newly-acquired Jason Castro and current starter Austin Hedges. Adams, 29, is recovering from a torn ACL but appears near activation. He registered a 3.94 ERA and 41 percent strikeout rate in 32 frames last season. Nolas fantasy stock could see a boost in a loaded offense but his playing time is uncertain. Adams may be a candidate for late-game situations once hes healthy and worth a stash in holds leagues. With a 7.71 ERA, Altavilla will likely pitch in middle relief and isnt a fantasy factor.
Seattle Mariners reliever Austin Adams is nearing a return to the team after undergoing knee surgery this offseason. He could throw a sim game sometime this week, and the best-case scenario is joining the team next Monday for the beginning of their road trip. Adams was a favorite for the ninth-inning job before his surgery and could earn a high-leverage role for the M's when he returns to the team. With several middling closer options already in the bullpen, there's no safe bet for any reliever to run away with the job this season.
