Adell went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk Wednesday in a 10-5 win against the Athletics.
Adell entered Wednesday in a prolonged slump at the plate -- over his previous 26 games, he batted .155 with a 4:21 BB:K. The outfielder was able to get going a bit Wednesday, swatting a 416-foot solo homer in the fourth inning for his first long ball in his past 10 contests and later taking a walk. Adell did strike out twice, though, and his K rate on the season is a poor 27.2 percent. He's still getting regular opportunities, starting in four of the Angels' past five contests, but his value in fantasy has been mostly limited to his power -- he's slugged six home runs but has just one stolen base and a .190 batting average over 136 plate appearances.

Angels' Jo Adell: Taking seat Friday
Rotowire
Adell isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
Adell will grab a seat on the bench Friday after going 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored during the Halos' last series in San Diego. His absence will put Jorge Soler in right field, moving Luis Rengifo into the DH spot while Tim Anderson starts at the keystone.

Angels' Jo Adell: Knocks fifth homer
Rotowire
Adell went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Orioles.
Adell is clawing back some playing time with power -- he's homered three times over his last five games. All of those long balls have been solo shots, but it's part of a 5-for-14 run at the plate in that span. The outfielder is up to five homers, 17 RBI, eight runs scored, one steal and a .200/.236/.381 slash line through 32 contests. Adell's numbers wouldn't warrant a full-time role if the Angels' outfield was fully healthy, but the team is missing Mike Trout (knee) and Gustavo Campero (knee), and neither of those players is expected to return within the next week.

Angels' Jo Adell: Goes deep Thursday
Rotowire
Adell went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Blue Jays on Thursday.
Adell made just his second start in the Angels' past six games, getting the nod in right field and batting eighth in the order. He took advantage of the opportunity, belting a 402-foot shot to left field in the second inning for his fourth homer of the season. Adell had been a lineup regular prior to the past week and may be in line to regain consistent playing time as Gustavo Campero deals with an ankle injury.

Angels' Jo Adell: Sits for fourth time in five games
Rotowire
Adell is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.
The Angels are giving Logan O'Hoppe a day off from catching but are keeping his bat in the lineup at designated hitter. As a result, Adell will be the odd man out of the lineup, as the Angels' usual DH, Jorge Soler, will cover right field. Even though the Angels lost Mike Trout (knee) to the injured list Friday, Adell's playing-time outlook has worsened over the past week. He's on the bench for the fourth time in five games, and the Angels seem to be prioritizing Kyren Paris and possibly even Gustavo Campero (ankle) ahead of Adell.

Angels' Jo Adell: Homers off bench Tuesday
Rotowire
Adell went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Blue Jays.
Adell's playing time has been trending downward to begin May, and he was on the bench for the third time in four games Tuesday. However, Gustavo Campero left this contest with an ankle injury, and if he misses time, that could allow Adell to be in the lineup more regularly moving forward. Adell could help his own cause with better hitting -- he's batting .183 with three homers, 15 RBI, six runs scored and a stolen base over 98 plate appearances this season. However, he doesn't have all that high of a ceiling after hitting .207 with a .682 OPS in 130 games last year.

Rotowire
Adell went 1-for-4 with a walk-off three-run double in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Giants.
Adell picked an opportune time for his first hit of the afternoon.

It's the third game this season for Adell with three-plus RBI. Outside of those three games, he's totaled just two RBI and two extra-base hits.

Angels' Jo Adell: Knocks three hits Friday
Rotowire
Adell went 3-for-3 with a double in Friday's 2-0 win over San Francisco.
Adell was held out of the Angels' lineup Thursday in the midst of a 1-for-13 stretch at the plate, and the day off seemed to benefit him, as the outfielder collected three of the team's five hits in his return. It was Adell's first three-hit performance of the season and just his third multi-hit effort over 15 contests. He's posted a modest .235/.291/.392 slash line with two home runs, nine RBI, four runs and no stolen-base attempts on the campaign.

Angels' Jo Adell: Homers twice in same inning
Rotowire
Adell went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four total RBI in Thursday's 11-1 win over the Rays.
Adell led off the fifth inning with his first homer of the year, a 409-foot blast off Zack Littell that extended the Angels' lead to 3-1. Adell didn't have to wait long for his second long ball -- he came to the plate again with two outs in the fifth and smacked a three-run shot off Mason Englert, bookending an eight-run frame. It was quite a performance from Adell, who'd gone 0-for-10 in his past three games prior to Thursday. He's now slashing .226/.294/.452 with eight RBI and four runs scored through 34 plate appearances this season.

Kyren Paris is starting in center field in the series finale versus Chicago.

Angels' Jo Adell: Not worried about hip issue
Rotowire
Adell isn't concerned about the hip tightness that caused him to be removed early from Saturday's win over the White Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. "I'll be OK," Adell said after the game.
Adell grabbed at his left hip area after beating out an infield single in the fifth inning and had to be removed from the game. The Angels later described the outfielder's issue as "left hip tightness," but Adell didn't seem to be worried about the injury when asked about it after the win. Kyren Paris replaced Adell on first base and then in center field after the latter was lifted Saturday, and Paris could be in line for some starts if Adell needs to miss any further time.

Angels' Jo Adell: Removed early Saturday
Rotowire
Adell was removed from Saturday's game against the White Sox due to left hip tightness.
Adell was grabbing at his left leg/hip after hitting an infield single in the fifth inning. The severity of his injury remains unclear, but he can be considered day-to-day for the time being. If Adell ends up having to miss any games, Kyren Paris would be a likely candidate to see more time in the outfield.

Angels' Jo Adell: Belts grand slam in spring game
Rotowire
Adell went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Friday's Cactus League loss to the Dodgers.
Adell got the best of Dustin May in the second inning, swatting a grand slam to left-center field to give the Angels an early lead. That was the outfielder's only knock of the game, however, and in fact it's his only hit so far this spring through 12 at-bats. Adell and Mickey Moniak are vying for time in center field for the upcoming season now that Mike Trout is moving to right field.
