Chicago White Sox right-handed pitching prospect Mason Adams (shoulder) was diagnosed with a flexor strain in his right elbow. He does not have a definite timetable. Adams exited Saturday's spring training contest due to discomfort in his elbow. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, but given this report, he will likely be sidelined for at least a few weeks. Adams was competing for a spot on the Opening Day roster but will now most likely begin the season in the minor leagues. Last summer, Adams began his campaign with Double-A and held a strong 2.44 ERA with a 1.05 WHIP across 103 1/3 innings. During this stint, he tallied 101 punchouts with 19 walks. He was then promoted to Triple-A, where he allowed 11 earned runs across 17 innings of work. When he returns to the bump, he should compete for an MLB debut later in the season.
Chicago White Sox right-handed pitching prospect Mason Adams (elbow) exited Friday's spring training contest due to elbow discomfort. The team noted that he will undergo further testing on Saturday. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status. Through seven 1/3 innings in camp, Adams has tallied eight punchouts with one walk. He has allowed seven hits and four earned runs. He was unlikely to make the Opening Day roster and, given this injury, will likely open the season in the minor leagues. Last summer, the former 13th-round pick in the 2022 MLB Draft spent most of his season at Double-A before making his Triple-A debut. Across 103 1/3 innings at Double-A, Adams posted a 2.44 ERA with a 1.05 WHIP. Through his short 17-inning stint at Triple-A, Adams allowed 20 hits and 11 earned runs. If he begins to turn the corner at Triple-A, he could push for an MLB debut later in the 2025 season.
