Matt Adams News
The Washington Nationals signed first baseman Matt Adams, infielder Travis Blankenhorn and right-handers Anthony Castro and Tommy Romero to minor-league deals with invites to major-league spring training on Wednesday. Adams spent part of the 2018 season and all of the 2019 campaign with the Nationals. The left-handed slugger didn't appear at all in the big leagues in 2022, instead playing in 80 games for the Kansas City Monarchs of the American Association, where he hit .248/.327/.554 with an .881 OPS, 27 home runs, 85 RBI and 63 runs scored. In 22 games for the Colorado Rockies in 2021, Adams hit just .167 with no home runs and two RBI in 40 plate appearances. He'll provide the Nats with some depth at first base and designated hitter.
The Colorado Rockies released first baseman Matt Adams on Tuesday. Manager Bud Black said releasing Adams gives the team a chance to look at younger players to close out the season. Rio Ruiz was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque, but Black said that Alan Trejo and Ryan Vilade could see time with Colorado the rest of the way, too. Adams hit just .167/.250/.194 with no home runs in 40 plate appearances for the Rockies, but he could be picked up by a team looking for a left-handed power platoon partner at the cold corner. For now, the 32-year-old can be left to the waiver wire in the vast majority of fantasy leagues.
Colorado Rockies first baseman Matt Adams (elbow) was activated from the 10-day injured list on Saturday, the team announced on Twitter. Adams had been out for over a month after injuring his elbow during a game against Marlins on June 8. Prior to the injury though, he hadn't been providing any fantasy value as he was slashing .161/.257/.194 with one RBI and three runs scored over 17 games. Until he shows signs of life at the plate, managers can safely ignore him in all formats.
