Adams has a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder and is considered day-to-day, Jamal Collier of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old was thought to be dealing with a triceps injury after exiting Thursday's game, but it actually appears to be a shoulder injury. Manager Dave Martinez indicated the issue isn't serious since it's to his non-throwing shoulder, but Adams remains out of the lineup Sunday.

Adams is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adams is expected to draw the majority of the starts at first base when the Nationals oppose right-handed pitchers the rest of the way, but he'll take a seat versus Zack Wheeler due to the day game after a night game. Though he struck out twice for his fourth straight start in Tuesday's 11-10 comeback victory, Adams recorded a single in the contest to end an eight-game hitless streak. Ryan Zimmerman will swap in for Adams at first base in the series finale.

Adams is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
He'll cede first base to Ryan Zimmerman (foot), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list as part of the Nationals' September callups. Per Zuckerman, manager Dave Martinez said he envisions Zimmerman starting mainly against left-handed pitching in September, so Adams should retain the larger side of a platoon at the position.
