Jason Adam Stats

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Jason Adam closed out the team's 2-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday to earn his second save of the year. He pitched a scoreless ninth inning, allowing no hits and one walk while striking out one. Andrew Kittredge (elbow), who leads the Rays with five saves on the year, landed on the 10-day injured list on Thursday and he is expected to miss at least a month. Adam is now one of four active Rays relievers with multiple saves on the year. We're likely to see a variety of different relievers utilized in the ninth inning in the coming months. Adam has arguably been the best of the bunch with his 0.72 ERA and 0.64 WHIP on the year.

The Chicago Cubs have sent relief pitcher Jason Adam to the teams alternative training site. Adam had a solid 3.29 ERA in 2020, but has really struggled this season. Adam has a 9.45 ERA in 6 2/3 innings this season. Replacing Adam will be relief pitcher Trevor Megill. Megill will be making his big-league debut whenever he makes his debut and owns a career 3.38 ERA with 10 saves in four minor league seasons. Megill will likely debut in a low leverage situation, but the Cubs bullpen has struggled outside of closer Craig Kimbrel and Megill will have a chance to carve out a role if he pitches well. He should be avoided for now and can be left on the waiver wire.

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Jason Adam was recalled from Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday morning to take the place of Justin Grimm. Grimm was put on the disabled list with a right shoulder impingement. Adam was mildly effective last time he was with the big league squad, posting a 4.70 ERA in 14 short-relief appearances, but even that level of success is unlikely to be attained again. Adam had a perfect 100 percent strand rate during his first stint in KC, and it's extremely unlikely he can keep up that level moving forward. That's why his FIP is at 7.27, and fantasy owners should shy away from him unless he's learned some new tricks.
