Adams (chest) has yet to rejoin the Mets for workouts since undergoing a cardiac screening last week, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Mets haven't offered an update on when Adams might be ready to resume baseball activities, but his ongoing absence will only continue to hinder his bid for a spot on the Opening Day roster. The 31-year-old is attending spring training as a non-roster invitee.

Adams will be sent for multiple rounds of cardiac screening, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adams was a late scratch from Thursday's spring game against the Marlins, and it appears the team cardiologist wasn't satisfied with the first baseman's initial test results. Brandon Nimmo was subjected to the same kind of testing but was cleared shortly after. The full picture should become clear within the next few days.

Adams was scratched from Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Marlins, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

The reason behind Adams' removal is not yet known. Ryan Cordell entered the lineup in his place, serving as the designated hitter and hitting cleanup.

Adams said Thursday that he expects to receive lots of reps in left field during the Mets' spring workouts and Grapefruit League games, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adams would ideally play first base, but as long as reigning NL Rookie of the Year Pete Alonso is healthy, he'll struggle to find even light playing time at the position. As a result, he should get plenty of reps in left field throughout the spring as he attempts to display some semblance of versatility to aid his chances of making the Opening Day roster. Adams' minor-league deal with the Mets likely contains an early season opt-out clause that would allow him to pursue opportunities elsewhere if it becomes apparent there's no room for him with the big club.

Adams signed with the Mets as a non-roster invitee Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Adams had a down year in his age-30 season, posting a .226/.276/.465 line in 111 games for the Nationals. With a career .273/.325/.491 slash line against righties, there are teams for which he could play a platoon role at first base, but he's unlikely to get many opportunities there with the Mets unless Pete Alonso gets injured.

Adams' mutual option was declined by the Nationals on Friday, making him a free agent, Jamal Collier of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adams wasn't a particularly major contributor to the World Series winners, hitting just .226/.276/.465 (good for an 84 wRC+) in 333 plate appearances. He came to the plate just four times in the playoffs. He could still be a serviceable part-time option at first base or designated hitter but is unlikely to be a particularly hot commodity on the market this winter.

Adams (shoulder) will start the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Adams starts for the first time since Sept. 12, batting sixth and playing first base. He'd gone just 1-for-29 over his last 13 games prior to suffering a shoulder injury.

Adams (shoulder) was seen in the on-deck circle during Sunday's loss to the Marlins, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adams hasn't played since Sept. 12 due to a sprained AC joint in his shoulder, but it sounds like he could be nearing a return. The veteran first baseman was ready to pinch hit for pitcher Austin Vote in the sixth inning Sunday but was pulled back in favor of Andrew Stevenson after Yan Gomes recorded the team's second out. At this point, It's unclear if he'll be available off the bench for Monday's series opener against the Phillies.

Adams (shoulder) hit in a batting cage Wednesday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adams hasn't played since last Thursday while dealing with a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder. He hit soft toss and off a tee Wednesday, a definite sign of progress, though it remains unclear exactly when he's expected to get back on the field.

Adams is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Adams hasn't played in the past week while managing a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder, leaving more action at first base available for Ryan Zimmerman and Howie Kendrick. Considering Adams was in a 2-for-38 funk over his prior 15 games before going down with the injury, he may not recapture a large-side platoon role if he gets healthy before the end of the season.
