Austin Adams News
San Diego Padres relief pitcher Austin Adams (forearm) felt some tightness in his right forearm during his appearance in this past Tuesday's game. He has been under evaluation from the team ever since and underwent an MRI. The team is currently awaiting a second opinion before making the diagnosis of his MRI public. The 30-year-old right-hander notched 11 holds for the Padres last year while pitching to a 4.10 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP. He earned a win in his first appearance this year and has pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings over two appearances.
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.
