Adams (shin) hit the injured list Friday, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adams fouled a ball off his shin Wednesday and apparently picked up an injury serious enough to sideline him for at least 10 days. The Rockies called up reliever Justin Lawrence to take his place on the roster.

Adams may have injured himself after fouling a pitch off his shin Wednesday, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adams was out of the lineup Thursday for the fifth time in the last six games, so it's not clear he was sidelined by an injury. However, manager Bud Black said the team would have more details regarding Adams' status before Friday's game against Cincinnati.

Adams' contract was selected by the Rockies on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Adams signed a minor-league deal with the Rockies in late March, and he'll now join the major-league club as part of a shuffle after outfielder Sam Hilliard was sent down. Adams appeared in 16 games for Atlanta last year and hit .184 with two home runs and nine RBI. He should mainly serve in a depth role for Colorado.

Adams was released by the Braves on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
He was designated for assignment last week and it sounds like he requested his unconditional release. With just over three weeks left in the season, Adams may struggle to latch on with another club in 2020. He hit .184 with two home runs and 18 strikeouts in 49 at-bats this season.

Adams was designated for assignment by the Braves on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran slugger started only one of the past four games and has two hits and 11 strikeouts in his past 16 at-bats, so it isn't a major surprise from the Braves. Overall, Adams had a .184/.216/.347 slash line with two homers in 51 plate appearances. The move frees up roster space for Atlanta following the trade acquisition of Tommy Milone.

Adams sat out for the first game of Wednesday's twin bill with Gerrit Cole on the mound. There has been no word of any injury, so it appears he's getting the day off to clear his head amidst a 9-for-46 (.196) start to the season.
