Jo Adell Fantasy Stats

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Jo Adell (knee) will take a seat for the second straight game in Thursday's series finale against the visiting San Francisco Giants, per MLB.com. Adell had a big game on Tuesday with a homer and six RBI, but he left late in that contest against San Fran with soreness in his left knee after fouling a ball off himself. The Guardians will now keep him out for a second straight day, but it is not considered a significant injury, and he could be back in there as early as Friday's series opener at Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies. Fantasy managers will want to check back then for an update on his condition. With rookie Chase DeLauter (hamstring) missing a fourth straight game, Angel Martinez is back in right field for Cleveland on Thursday. The 27-year-old Adell will not help fantasy managers with his batting average or on-base percentage, but he has plenty of pop from the right side and should have more opportunities to drive runs the rest of the way after being traded from the Los Angeles Angels to the Guardians at the deadline. He has 19 homers on the year, with three of them coming in his first 13 games with Cleveland.

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Jo Adell (knee) will start Wednesday's game at Progressive Field on the bench against the visiting San Francisco Giants, according to MLB.com. With Chase DeLauter (hamstring) also missing a third straight contest, Angel Martinez will start in right field and hit cleanup against Giants rookie left-hander Matt Wilkinson, who is making his MLB debut. Adell had a monster game in Tuesday's win over the Gigantes, going 3-for-4 with a home run and six RBI before he fouled a ball off his left knee and was pulled early. The injury is not considered serious, though, so Adell could return to the starting nine for Thursday's series finale against San Francisco. The 27-year-old is now slashing .237/.290/.405 on the year with a .695 OPS, 19 home runs, 73 RBI, 52 runs scored, and three stolen bases in his 469 at-bats in 2026. Since being acquired from the Los Angeles Angels at the trade deadline earlier this month, Adell has gone 10-for-46 (.217) with three homers, 11 RBI, and six runs scored. The former 10th overall pick in 2017 has never hit for average in the big leagues, but he has plenty of pop and is in a better lineup to boost his counting stats the rest of the way.

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Jo Adell (knee) was pulled in the eighth inning of his team's 8-1 win over the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday after taking a foul ball off the knee. Per Tim Stebbins of MLB.com, Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said that Adell felt "pretty good pain" in the knee. The 27-year-old had a monster night before exiting the game, going three-for-four with a home run and six RBI. Adell has just 10 hits in 46 at-bats since being acquired by Cleveland from the Los Angeles Angels, but three of those 10 have left the yard. Across 510 plate appearances split between the two teams in 2026, Adell is hitting .237/.290/.405 with 19 home runs, 73 RBI, 63 runs scored, and three stolen bases. As long as Adell is in the Guardians lineup, he profiles as a solid power bat for fantasy managers. Stebbins reports that Cleveland will evaluate Adell on Wednesday, leaving his status as day-to-day for the time being.

The Cleveland Guardians are acquiring outfielder Jo Adell from the Los Angeles Angels on Monday, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports that the Angels will receive minor-league catcher Jacob Cozart in exchange. The rebuild continues for the struggling Angels, as they've also traded catcher Logan O'Hoppe and right-hander Jose Soriano. The 27-year-old Adell will give the Guardians some more thump in their lineup. In his seventh year in the majors with the Halos, the right-handed slugger has hit .239/.287/.395 with a .682 OPS, 16 home runs, 62 RBI, 46 runs scored, and three stolen bases in 111 games across 456 plate appearances. Adell has been somewhat of a disappointment for fantasy managers in 2026 after he hit a career-high 37 long balls and drove in 98 runs in 152 games for the Angels a season ago. The move to Cleveland won't really be all that much of a fantasy boost, as the Guards rank dead-last in baseball with a .680 OPS, and Adell's swing-and-miss ways won't suddenly be cured by the move.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell stayed hot at the plate in the team's 13-1 blowout win over the division-rival Texas Rangers on Wednesday on the road at Globe Life Field, going 2-for-4 with two home runs, five RBI, three runs scored, and a strikeout to raise his season average to .251 and his OPS to .703. The 27-year-old right-handed slugger is now up to 13 homers, 52 RBI, 42 runs scored, and three stolen bases in 92 games across 385 plate appearances in 2026 in his seventh year in the majors. He's added a .296 on-base percentage and .407 slugging percentage. After three hitless games to begin July, Adell is now on a three-game hit streak, and he's batting .276 (16-for-58) with three homers, three doubles, a triple, 11 RBI, and six runs scored in his last 15 games, dating back to June 20. Adell has lowered his strikeout rate to 22.1% this year, but his walk rate sits at a career-low 2.9%, which makes him a drain in OBP leagues. The former first-rounder can be streaky, but he proved last year by hitting 37 homers and driving in 98 runs that he can carry a fantasy squad with his power when he's on.

Entering play on Thursday, Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell was hitting .242/.289/.386 with eight home runs, 29 RBI, 19 runs scored, and two stolen bases across 232 plate appearances. Adell put together a breakout season from a power perspective in 2025, logging an excellent 17.2% barrel rate and clubbing 37 home runs in just 573 plate appearances. His numbers have come crashing down to earth so far this season, as his barrel rate has fallen all the way down to 8.7%. However, Adell's power bat has come to life a bit in recent weeks, as he's hit four home runs in his last 16 games after hitting just four in his first 40. The 27-year-old appears to have gotten back to his old approach at the plate of sacrificing contact for power, as he's struck out in 30.1% of his plate appearances in May after posting a 20.1% strikeout rate through the end of April. While Adell's batting average could continue to drop, he may be on the verge of a power breakout and could be worth buying low on for fantasy managers desperate to add slugging to their roster.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell was one of the breakout success stories of the 2025 season, hitting 37 home runs in 573 plate appearances. Through his first 112 plate appearances of 2026, the 27-year-old is hitting .269/.313/.375 with three home runs, 15 RBI, 12 runs scored, and one stolen base. Adell's power hasn't quite been where it was in 2025, as his barrel rate is down from 17.2% to 5.1%. Adell may be sacrificing power for contact, as he's also cut his strikeout rate from 26.4% to 19.6%. While Adell would be able to hit for both power and average in an ideal world, fantasy managers would likely prefer him to rediscover his 30-homer form. If he can get back to hitting the long ball consistently while holding some of his contact gains, Adell could put together his most complete MLB season to date.

A former top prospect, Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell finally had his long-awaited breakout season in 2025. Across 573 plate appearances, the 26-year-old posted a .236/.293/.485 slash line with 37 home runs, 98 RBI, 63 runs scored, and five stolen bases. Adell logged an elite 17.2% barrel rate, the best of his career by nearly six percentage points. Heading into 2026, Adell looks to have an everyday role in the middle of the Angels lineup. However, there are some warning signs in his profile. With a 5.8% walk rate and 26.4% strikeout rate, Adell's plate skills remain questionable and could lead to both a poor batting average and a drop in the batting order. Additionally, Adell has largely graded out as a well below-average defensive outfielder throughout his career, which could lead to a drop in playing time if he has any struggles with the bat. Still, Adell's power is real, and the Angels are not exactly swimming in outfield talent behind him. As a mid-round power bat, Adell could be a quality outfield option for fantasy managers once again in 2026.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell (illness) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Adell has missed each of the last two games while battling vertigo. In fact, Adell has been held out of the lineup in four of the last five contests due to the issue. It appears that Adell is feeling good enough to play on Saturday. He'll bat cleanup and cover right field during Saturday's contest. Fantasy managers better make sure to get him into their lineups. In September, Adell is hitting .355 with five homers and 12 RBI in nine games.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell (illness) is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Seattle Mariners. Adell will now take a seat for the fourth time in the last five games. He continues to battle a case of vertigo that will sideline him for a second straight game. It doesn't sound like this is something that will land Adell on the injured list. For now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. Chris Taylor will take over in right field and bat second on Friday. Fantasy managers should check back on Saturday for another update on Adell.
