Adams will not be on the Nationals' Opening Day roster, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adams posted an .871 OPS in 19 games this spring, though he also struck out 10 times without recording a single walk. The veteran didn't fit what the Nationals wanted in a bench spot, and it remains unclear if he'll find his way back to the majors for the first time since July of 2021.

Adams will return to Washington after signing a minor-league contract with the Nationals on Wednesday, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adams appeared in 22 games as a member of the Rockies in 2022, going 6-for-36 with a double, two RBI and three runs scored over those contests. The 34-year-old's deal with the Nationals includes an invitation to big-league spring training, giving him another shot to prove himself around MLB talent.

Adams was released by the Rockies on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Adams has played just 22 major-league games this season, as he failed to make the Opening Day roster and made trips to the injured list for both shin and elbow issues. He did very little during his limited opportunities to suggest he deserved to stick around, as he hit just .167/.250/.194. The interest on the open market for a 32-year-old bat-only player who owns a .513 OPS over the last two seasons is likely to be muted.

Adams (elbow) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to Saturday's game against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Adams has been out since early June with a right elbow strain. He was reported to be nearing a rehab assignment, but the club will instead bring him back on the 26-man roster without a trip to the minors. Adams should continue serving primarily as a pinch hitter while also occasionally spelling C.J. Cron at first base.

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.

Adams (elbow) hasn't been cleared for hitting or throwing since being placed on the 10-day injured list June 9, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adams has yet to demonstrate much notable progress in his recovery from his right elbow strain, but manager Bud Black suggested that the 32-year-old could soon take a step forward. Black didn't rule out the possibility of Adams taking batting practice as soon as Thursday or over the weekend, when the Rockies travel to Milwaukee. If Adams is in fact able to take some swings within the next few days, he could head out on a rehab assignment at some point next week.

Adams was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right elbow strain Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Adams sustained a right elbow injury in Tuesday's loss to the Marlins, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be forced to miss more than the minimum of 10 days. Connor Joe was recalled by the Rockies in a corresponding move.

Adams suffered a right elbow injury Tuesday against the Marlins and is expected to be placed on the injured list, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old suffered the injury during Tuesday's contest and was removed after going 0-for-2 with a strikeout. It's unclear if Adams is expected to return after the 10-day minimum or if he's facing a longer absence.

Adams (shin) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Adams missed just over two weeks with a shin injury, but he began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday and will now return to the major-league club. The 32-year-old appeared in 12 games with the Rockies prior to his injury and hit .105 with a run, two walks and five strikeouts during that time. He should serve mainly in a depth role going forward. Trevor Story (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

The Rockies sent Adams (shin) to Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday to begin a rehab assignment.

EDGE Analysis

Adams has been on the shelf since May 12 with a shin injury. The 32-year-old will likely serve as a backup first baseman and left-handed bat off the bench once he's reinstated from the IL.
