Jason

Adam

The 34-year-old hurler has been terrific between stints on the injured list this season, registering a 2.51 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and a 22/8 K/BB ratio over 32 1/3 innings in 36 appearances. No word yet on how long he’ll be shelved for. German Marquez was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move on Thursday.

The Padres weren’t willing to use Mason Miller for a third straight day, so Adam got the save chance tonight. He has a 2.45 ERA and a 20/8 K/BB in 29 1/3 innings in his setup role this season.

Miller, who picked up an impressive four-out save against the Orioles on Sunday, will be away from the club on bereavement leave for the next few days. He’s converted 19 saves with a microscopic 0.90 ERA and 59/12 K/BB ratio across 30 innings this season. His absence will result in either Jason Adam or Adrian Morejon handling any save chances for the Padres. The other dark horse name to watch is hard-throwing rookie Bradgley Rodriguez, who has been an unexpected revelation this season. Fantasy managers should anticipate Miller returning later this week.

Adam came in with the bases loaded in a 9-5 game, and since he was able to put out what would have been the tying run, he gets the save. He’s pitched twice since coming off the injured list Friday, and will be called on as a set-up man for Mason Miller more often than not.

The 34-year-old hurler is fully recovered from surgery on his quad and is finally ready to make his 2026 season debut. He’ll step right back into a setup role in front of closer Mason Miller with Jeremiah Estrada (elbow) landing on the injured list in a corresponding move on Friday.

It was a bit of a surprise when Adam hit the injured list at the end of spring training considering he looked sharp in a handful of late-spring relief outings coming off last year’s quad surgery. He’ll make a couple appearances for Double-A San Antonio later this week before presumably heading to San Diego to make his season debut.

It was looking like Adam would be ready for the start of the regular season after making a handful of Cactus League appearances at the end of spring training. The 34-year-old veteran reliever will get a little extra time in the minors as he works his way back from last year’s quad surgery.

Adam has twirled a pair of hitless frames this spring in his return from last year’s quad surgery and could potentially be on San Diego’s season-opening roster. The 34-year-old veteran will operate in a high-leverage role behind elite stopper Mason Miller.

The 34-year-old right-hander is working his way back from surgery on his quad and has been making substantial progress. He’s slated to pitch in Cactus League games on Friday and Monday, and if all goes well there, it sounds like he’ll be able to be included in the team’s Opening Day bullpen.

The Padres and Adam appear to disagree, as Adam said that “in my mind” he will be ready for Opening Day. Stammen continued by saying “We’re going to decide what’s best for him. And hopefully we’re on the same page together. We may have a different opinion at times, but we’ve got the best interest in him, not only for this season but for the rest of his career.” It appears as if Adam’s Opening Day status is in some question. Luckily Mason Miller seems well-locked into the closer’s role so it shouldn’t make much difference in leagues that don’t count holds.
