Adams (elbow) appears to be close to beginning a minor-league rehab assignment, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockies are still mapping out the particulars of Adams' assignment, but his return to game action looks imminent. The 32-year-old has been on the shelf since June 9 with a right elbow strain. Once the Rockies deem Adams ready to return from the 10-day injured list, he'll likely be limited to a bench role.
