Jason Adam Fantasy Stats

San Diego Padres right-handed reliever Jason Adam (quadriceps), who started the 2026 season on the 15-day injured list after having surgery last September to fix a ruptured quadriceps tendon, is hoping to be activated off the IL when he's first eligible to return on April 6, according to Matt Levine of Sports Illustrated. Adam probably could have been ready for Opening Day, but the Padres wanted to be cautious and give the high-leverage setup man more time to recover before making his season debut. He threw 1 1/3 scoreless innings during a minor-league rehab outing on Saturday with Triple-A El Paso, giving up a hit with no walks or strikeouts. Adam was a workhorse for the Friars in 2025, making 65 appearances while posting a 1.93 ERA as a first-time All-Star. SD might not allow Adam to pitch on back-to-back days upon his return, but he'll once again be a key setup man ahead of closer Mason Miller in the Padres' bullpen in 2026, and he has plenty of value in holds leagues.

San Diego Padres relief pitcher Jason Adam (quad) will open the season on the 15-day injured list, according to Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune. Adam has been recovering from a September surgery that repaired a ruptured tendon in his quad. While he has been facing batters for weeks, he didn't make his Cactus League debut until last Friday. As a result of his delayed return to action, he's going to open the year on the injured list. His placement on the IL will be backdated to March 22, allowing him to return no earlier than April 6. Getting Adam back and healthy is key for the Padres, as the veteran reliever pitched to an impressive 1.93 ERA with 9.64 K/9 and 3.44 BB/9 across 65.1 innings of relief work last year. Ron Marinaccio and Bradgley Rodriguez are both expected to make the Opening Day roster since Adam is not quite ready to go.

San Diego Padres right-handed reliever Jason Adam (quadriceps) "remains on track to potentially be ready" for Opening Day in late March, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune's Kevin Acee. Adam said last week that he feels it's realistic for him to be ready for the start of the 2026 season, and he said on Friday that he thinks the team's medical staff is "on board." The 34-year-old veteran is making great progress since suffering a torn left quad late last season that required surgery. He has been throwing bullpen sessions since early December. When back to full health, Adam will be the Padres' top setup man in front of superstar closer Mason Miller. Adam was a first-time All-Star in 2025 and finished seventh among relievers with 29 holds while recording a sub-2.00 ERA for the third time in the last four years. He won't really see save chances as long as Miller stays healthy, but Adam should once again be very valuable in holds leagues.

San Diego Padres right-handed reliever Jason Adam (quadriceps) told 97.3 The Fan on Friday that he thinks he could be available for Opening Day in late March as he works his way back from a ruptured left quadriceps tendon that he suffered late last year. Adam has been throwing bullpen sessions, but he still has some boxes to check to prove that he can field his own position and move around. The most likely scenario is that the 34-year-old veteran will start the 2026 season on the injured list before making his season debut at some point in April. Before his injury, Adam was a key piece of SD's lights-out bullpen, posting a 1.93 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and 70:25 K:BB in 65 1/3 innings out of the bullpen. His 29 holds ranked seventh among relievers. Adam's strikeout rate dipped a bit to 25.9%, which was his lowest mark since 2019. If he can stay healthy in 2026, Adam should be a great asset in holds leagues yet again.

San Diego Padres right-handed reliever Jason Adam (quadriceps) had surgery on Sept. 3 and has a timetable for recovery of six to nine months, according to MLB.com. Adam felt his quadriceps muscle pop while trying to make a play on a ball on Sept. 1 against the Baltimore Orioles and was carted off the field before eventually being diagnosed with a season-ending left-quadriceps tendon rupture. The 34-year-old veteran will not be ready for the start of spring training next February and probably won't be ready for Opening Day, either. Losing Adam for the rest of 2025 was a huge blow to the Padres' relief corps, but San Diego's bullpen is still one of the best in baseball. Adam was one of the best all-around relievers in baseball this year before his injury, posting a 1.93 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 70 strikeouts, and 30 holds in 65 1/3 innings pitched.

San Diego Padres right-handed reliever Jason Adam (quadriceps) will undergo season-ending surgery on his ruptured left quadriceps tendon on Wednesday. Adam will require six to nine months to recover, which could keep him out for the beginning of the 2026 campaign. The 34-year-old suffered the injury reacting to a ground ball in a 4-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Monday and had to be carted off the field. It'll bring an unfortunate end to a terrific year for Adam, an integral part of the Padres' bullpen. He made 65 appearances for the club this season and went 8-4 with a 1.93 ERA, a 1.15 WHIP, 70:25 K:BB, and 29 holds in 65 1/3 innings. Fortunately for the Padres, they still have a well-stocked bullpen with Mason Miller, Adrian Morejon, and Jeremiah Estrada setting up closer Robert Suarez.

San Diego Padres reliever Jason Adam (quadriceps) ruptured his left quadriceps tendon in a 4-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Monday, manager Mike Shildt announced. Adam's leg buckled, causing him to collapse, after Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson hit a ground ball up the middle in the top of the seventh inning. The right-hander was in obvious pain and had to be carted off the field. Adam said he's likely to miss six to nine months if an MRI confirms the rupture, but he's hopeful he'll be ready for spring training in 2026, according to Andres Soto of MLB.com. Assuming Adam is done for 2025, it's a horrific ending to a great season for the 34-year-old. He appeared in 65 games and went 8-4 with a 1.93 ERA, a 1.15 WHIP, 70:25 K:BB, and 29 holds in 64 2/3 innings. With fellow high-leverage relievers Mason Miller, Adrian Morejon, and Jeremiah Estrada still around to set up closer Robert Suarez, the back end of the Padres' bullpen remains in good shape. Nevertheless, losing Adam is a significant blow to a San Diego team that's trying to chase down the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West or at least earn a wild-card berth.

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Jason Adam is being traded to the San Diego Padres, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post. In return, the Rays will acquire starting pitching prospect Dylan Lesko, outfield prospect Homer Bush Jr., and catching prospect J.D. Gonzalez. These three prospects were considered the third, eighth, and twelfth best in the San Diego system, respectively, on MLB.com. Adam is one of the better high-leverage relief pitchers in the game, as he sits with a strong 2.49 ERA and 0.89 WHIP. He boasts a 35.2% whiff rate and 27.8% K rate, which place him near the top among all pitchers. The Padres will likely deploy Adam in the eighth inning to serve as the set-up man for Robert Suarez. Adam is worth adding in leagues that score holds as he should have plenty of opportunities to enter the game with a lead pitching on a San Diego team that is eyeing to compete this fall. The Rays acquired three strong prospects and are quickly making the case to have one of the best systems in the sport.

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Jason Adam worked around a walk with three strikeouts in Monday's 5-3 win over the Boston Red Sox to earn his third save of the season. The 32-year-old right-hander has been Tampa Bay's best reliever on the season with an excellent stat line of 1.47 ERA, 0.82 WHIP, and a .138 batting average allowed. It's important to note that the regular closer, Pete Fairbanks (finger), was unavailable due to a cut on his finger. If Adam keeps this dominance up and Fairbanks' early season struggles continue, don't be surprised if Kevin Cash turns this bullpen into a closer-by-committee situation or, better yet, Adam takes over as the everyday Tampa Bay closer.

It wasn't pretty, but Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Jason Adam picked up his first save of the season in Monday's 1-0 win over the Brewers. Adam came in to pitch the bottom of the ninth inning up by one. He allowed a leadoff double, got the first out on a line-out, allowed a walk, allowed a double steal, got the second out on a past-ball strikeout where the runners were held due to batter's interference, hit a batter to load the bases, and finally ended things with a strikeout. The 32-year-old racked up 12 saves last season when Pete Fairbanks (hand) was on the injured list, and Fairbanks is now serving a stint with a hand injury. Given his history serving as interim closer, Adam is worth rostering in at least all roto leagues at this time.
