Adams is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Adams is just 7-for-35 (.200) with two home runs and a 1:10 BB:K through 11 appearances this season. Marcell Ozuna is serving as Atlanta's designated hitter in Wednesday's series finale, with Cristian Pache getting the start in left field as a result.

Adams will bat fifth as the designated hitter Tuesday against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran slugger was originally stationed on the bench for Tuesday's contest, but he was added to the lineup with Nick Markakis (potential COVID-19 exposure) being placed on the injured list. Adams struck out Monday in his first at-bat since spending almost two weeks on the shelf with a left hamstring strain.

Adams isn't in the lineup Monday against the Nationals.

Adams was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Monday, but he'll play a bench role for his first game back, even with right-hander Anibal Sanchez starting for Washington. Marcell Ozuna will serve as the designated hitter Monday with Adam Duvall starting in left field.

The Braves reinstated Adams (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Reliever Chad Sobotka was optioned to the Braves' alternate training site to clear room on the active roster for Adams, who was sidelined for just over the minimum amount of time with a left hamstring strain. Before going down with the injury, Adams had settled in as the Braves' primary designated hitter against right-handed pitching. Adams should immediately reclaim those duties, while Marcell Ozuna settles back into a regular role in an Atlanta outfield that's missing superstar Ronald Acuna (wrist).

Braves manager Brian Snitker said Wednesday that he doesn't expect Adams (hamstring) to be ready to return from the 10-day injured list next week, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adams is eligible to come off the IL this weekend, but the 31-year-old hasn't demonstrated enough progress in his recovery from the strained left hamstring at this point to gear up for a return. Until Adams is able to run the bases without any discomfort, the Braves likely won't be able to pinpoint a target date for his return to the active roster.

The Braves placed Adams (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Adams will be sidelined for at least the next week and a half while he recovers from the left hamstring he strained in Tuesday's 10-1 win over the Blue Jays. Adams had been serving as the Braves' primary designated hitter this season, but Marcell Ozuna should now assume those duties, leaving Adam Duvall, Nick Markakis and Austin Riley to vie for time in the open corner-outfield spot.

Adams (hamstring) is expected to be placed on the 10-day injured list, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old exited Tuesday's contest after tweaking his left hamstring while running to first base, and it appears he'll require at least a short stay on the shelf. Adam Duvall is a likely candidate to see increased opportunities while Adams is sidelined.

Adams was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mets with left hamstring tightness.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran slugger hit a solo homer in his first at bat Tuesday, but he appeared to tweak his hamstring running out a grounder during the fourth inning. Adams should be considered day-to-day until the severity of the injury is determined.

Adams is not in the lineup Sunday against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Adams is 3-for-7 with a double and two RBI in the past two games, but he'll head to the bench Sunday with lefty David Peterson taking the mound for New York. Marcell Ozuna will serve as the designated hitter with Austin Riley starting in left field.
