Austin Adams's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

According to Ari Alexander of KPRC2, right-handed pitcher Austin Adams and the Boston Red Sox have agreed to a minor league deal with an invite to Spring Training. Last summer, the 33-year-old held a 3.92 ERA and a 1.48 ERA across 41 1/3 innings of work. Adams had his season cut short due to right forearm tendinitis but shout be expected to be ready for Spring Training. Under the hood, Adams generated a strong .208 xBA with a 4.9% barrel rate and a 31.4% hard-hit rate. He struck out batters at a solid 27.7% rate but struggled with his command as he held a 12.0% walk rate. Adams could earn a spot at the back-end of the Boston bullpen if he has a successful Spring Training but will likely not see many save opportunities.

Oakland Athletics right-handed reliever Austin Adams (forearm) was scheduled to start a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas during the week of Sept. 9, but he was pulled back after experiencing a setback with his right-forearm tendinitis. Adams returned to Oakland on Sept. 12 to be re-evaluated by team doctors but still hadn't been seen as of Monday. At this point, it's unclear if Adams will pitch again for the A's in 2024. With the season winding down and the A's not in playoff contention, it would be a surprise if we saw the 33-year-old veteran back with Oakland before the end of September. If this is it for Adams in 2024, the former eighth-rounder will finish his first year in the Bay Area with a 1-2 record, 3.92 ERA (4.48 FIP), a 1.48 WHIP and a 53:23 K:BB in 41 1/3 innings out of the bullpen for the A's.

Oakland Athletics right-handed reliever Austin Adams (forearm) threw to hitters on Friday and felt good, according to manager Mark Kotsay. If Adams feels good in the coming days, he could begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas. And if he doesn't suffer a setback on what is likely to be a short rehab assignment, Adams could rejoin Oakland's bullpen by sometime next week. The 33-year-old veteran previously threw a bullpen session on Tuesday as he attempts to return from right-forearm tendinitis. When the A's feel he's ready, Adams will return to a late-inning, high-leverage setup role in Oakland's big-league bullpen in front of lights-out closer Mason Miller. Adams is currently 1-2 on the year with a 3.92 ERA (4.49 FIP), a 1.48 WHIP, 53 strikeouts and 23 walks in 41 1/3 innings out of the bullpen.
