Jason Adam Stats

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Jason Adam blew the save and was hit with the loss in the 3-2 defeat at the hands of the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday night. In his inning of work, Adam allowed two earned runs on two hits (one homer) while walking one and striking out one. He entered the game in the eighth inning with a one-run lead but allowed a two-run bomb to shortstop Bo Bichette to lose the game. It was a hiccup in an otherwise excellent season for the 31-year-old right-hander, as he's posted a 1.54 ERA (2.83 FIP), a 0.69 WHIP, eight saves and 71 strikeouts in 58 1/3 relief innings for the Rays. He should continue to be Tampa's top setup man behind Pete Fairbanks despite Monday's subpar outing.

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Jason Adam was handed his third loss of the season in Monday's 3-2 game against the Blue Jays. Adam came in to pitch the eighth inning up by one. He allowed a leadoff single, got the first two outs on a groundout and strikeout, but then allowed a two-run home run before getting the final out on another groundout. The game ended with that score, making Adam the pitcher of record. Adam has been one of the many relievers used in high-leverage situations by the Rays this season and is now 2-3 with eight saves, 20 holds, and a 1.54 ERA. The lack of a defined role does limit his fantasy value in shallower leagues, but he is worth a look in all deeper leagues.

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Jason Adam earned his seventh save of the season in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Yankees. Adam entered the game up by two with two outs in the eighth inning and a runner on first. He got Aaron Judge to ground into a force out to end the inning and stayed on to pitch the ninth, delivering a 1-2-3 inning with two strikeouts. Adam has pitched very well this season, compiling a 1.13 ERA with 16 holds and a 10.57 K/9 rate. He has also seen two of the Rays' three save opportunities over the last seven days, which is an encouraging sign. Adam is worth a look in deep roto leagues at this time given how well he has pitched, but fantasy managers should be wary of the Rays' reluctance to designate one bullpen arm to save situations.
