Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell connected for his sixth home run of June in the Halos' 6-5 win over the Athletics on Wednesday. Adell took a 95 mph fastball from right-hander Osvaldo Bido 422 feet to left for a two-run blast that gave the Angels a 6-3 lead in the bottom of the sixth inning. He finished the day 1-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts. The former top prospect slumped to a .190/.236/.210 line with two homers and 14 RBI through April, but he has significantly improved his numbers since the beginning of May. Adell is now batting a much more palatable .223/.296/.473 with 13 HRs and 34 RBI over 203 plate appearances. Furthermore, he ranks anywhere from the league's 83rd percentile to its 92nd percentile in barrel rate, xwOBA, and xSLG. After posting underwhelming production from 2020-24, Adell is finally showing signs of a potential breakout at the age of 26.
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell went 2-for-4 with a single, a home run, and three RBI in his team's 7-4 win on Monday night. Adell is up to 12 long balls on the season, and six of those have come in his last nine games. Over that span, he is 9-for-29 (.310) with 10 RBI, a stolen base, and a 57.1% hard-hit rate. His home run on Monday was a solo blast in the fourth inning off lefty Jeffrey Springs. He has only hit .156 against lefties in limited opportunities this season, so the home run is a great sign for him in that split going forward. The 26-year-old has plenty of prospect pedigree and has shown he can get hot for stretches, but he hasn't been able to be consistent enough to be a mixed league option in the past. For now, he is a DFS and streaming option to consider while he's hot and will be worth holding at least until he cools off.
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell came ready to swing the bat during Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Adell took right-hander Luis Castillo deep in the second inning. After that, Adell got Castillo again with another home run in the fourth inning. He finished his night 3-for-3 with two homers, three RBI, and a walk in the win. Adell has been hot lately, going 7-for-22 with five homers over his last seven games. Fantasy managers in deep leagues should take a look at Adell while he's swinging a hot bat.
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Monday's 7-6 win against the Boston Red Sox. Adell capped off a massive six-run inning to lead off the game for the Angels as they jumped on Red Sox starter Richard Fitts, leaving the yard thrice in the first frame. He'd homer again in the top of the sixth off bullpen arm Hunter Dobbins to give LA a 7-5 lead that'd prove to be enough. The two dingers bring him up to nine, and he has a strong chance to challenge the personal best he set a season ago (20). That is, however, as long as he can stick in the lineup. Adell is hitting a dismal .215 in 2025, but he's been better in recent days -- sporting a .306 (11-for-36) average in his last 12 appearances. He has more extra-base hits than singles in that stretch, including four long balls (two doubles).
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees. Adell is 3-for-7 with an RBI and a walk in the first two games of the series. That being said, it's a bit surprising to see Adell on the bench for this game. The right-handed slugger hasn't been much of a fantasy option this season, but he does have four hits over his last four games. Taylor Ward, Chris Taylor, and Jorge Soler will cover the outfield against right-hander Clarke Schmidt on Wednesday.
The Los Angeles Angels went off at the plate in their 11-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in Thursday's series finale, and outfielder Jo Adell was at the center of the offensive outburst. Adell went 2-for-4 in the game with two home runs, two runs scored and a team-leading four RBI, with both of his long balls coming in the fifth inning when the Angels broke the game wide open. The 26-year-old's first shot was a solo blast off Zack Littell, with his second homer being of the three-run variety off reliever Mason Englert. It was great to see from Adell, who came into Thursday's game hitting just .185 (5-for-27) with no homers, two walks and eight strikeouts in eight games played. The big day raised Adell's season average to .226 and his OPS to .746. Adell had gone hitless in his last 10 at-bats before Thursday. Don't expect Adell to provide a useful batting average, but he has the ability to go on power binges like this.
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell (hip) is returning to the starting lineup on Tuesday evening when the Angels face the St. Louis Cardinals. Adell has missed the previous two contests due to this injury. However, this injury was not serious, and he will make a quick return to the starting nine. This evening, he will cover center field and bat in the eight-hole. Over the first two games of the campaign, Adell has gone 2-for-4 with a 1:1 BB:K. Last summer, the former 10th overall pick began to turn the corner on his slow start to his MLB career. Over 130 contests, Adell posted a .207/.280/.402 line but launched a career-best 20 long balls and tallied 15 doubles. He also swiped a career-high 15 bags. This evening, he is worth a look as a value play in DFS facing St. Louis southpaw Matthew Liberatore.
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell (hip) remains out of the starting lineup on Monday for the start of a series in St. Louis against the Cardinals. Kyren Paris will make another start in center field and will hit eighth against Cardinals right-hander Miles Mikolas. Adell is dealing with tightness in his left hip. While it's not considered a very serious injury, it will keep the 25-year-old out of action for the second straight day. For what it's worth, Adell says he's improving and plans to return to the field on Tuesday at Busch Stadium. In just two games played so far in 2025, Adell has gone 2-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout in last weekend's series against the Chicago White Sox. Paris is 2-for-6 with a solo home run, a stolen base and two strikeouts in his three games played. He has never faced Mikolas in his career and will be a low-upside DFS option in his second straight start in center.
Jo Adell Feeling Better, Hopes To Return On Monday
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell (hip) is feeling better and hopes to return to the starting nine on Monday when the Angels face the St. Louis Cardinals. Adell was removed early from Saturday's contest after suffering this hip injury. However, it does not sound serious, and Adell may only miss one game. On Sunday, Kyren Paris will cover center field and bat in the nine-hole. Last season, the 25-year-old began to turn the corner on his slow start to his MLB career. Adell launched a career-best 20 long balls and swiped 15 bags. However, he held a high 27.9 percent strikeout rate and drew walks at a modest 7.9 percent walk rate. Adell also generated an elite 76.7 mph bat speed and placed in the 86th percentile in sprint speed. When he does return, he is a viable depth outfielder in category leagues.
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell (leg) was pulled from Saturday's contest with an apparent leg injury. Adell sustained this injury while running to first base. He was replaced by Kyren Paris. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next contests on Sunday afternoon. Before exiting, Adell tallied one hit and a walk. During his first game of the campaign, Adell went 1-for-3 in the batter's box with a strikeout. The former 10th overall pick began to turn the corner at the major league level last season as he went deep 20 times and added 15 doubles. He generated a strong 11.7 percent barrel rate and placed in the 98th percentile in bat speed. If Adell were to miss time, Paris would likely see most of the opportunities in right field.
