Jo Adell DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

The Los Angeles Angels went off at the plate in their 11-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in Thursday's series finale, and outfielder Jo Adell was at the center of the offensive outburst. Adell went 2-for-4 in the game with two home runs, two runs scored and a team-leading four RBI, with both of his long balls coming in the fifth inning when the Angels broke the game wide open. The 26-year-old's first shot was a solo blast off Zack Littell, with his second homer being of the three-run variety off reliever Mason Englert. It was great to see from Adell, who came into Thursday's game hitting just .185 (5-for-27) with no homers, two walks and eight strikeouts in eight games played. The big day raised Adell's season average to .226 and his OPS to .746. Adell had gone hitless in his last 10 at-bats before Thursday. Don't expect Adell to provide a useful batting average, but he has the ability to go on power binges like this.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell (hip) is returning to the starting lineup on Tuesday evening when the Angels face the St. Louis Cardinals. Adell has missed the previous two contests due to this injury. However, this injury was not serious, and he will make a quick return to the starting nine. This evening, he will cover center field and bat in the eight-hole. Over the first two games of the campaign, Adell has gone 2-for-4 with a 1:1 BB:K. Last summer, the former 10th overall pick began to turn the corner on his slow start to his MLB career. Over 130 contests, Adell posted a .207/.280/.402 line but launched a career-best 20 long balls and tallied 15 doubles. He also swiped a career-high 15 bags. This evening, he is worth a look as a value play in DFS facing St. Louis southpaw Matthew Liberatore.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell (hip) remains out of the starting lineup on Monday for the start of a series in St. Louis against the Cardinals. Kyren Paris will make another start in center field and will hit eighth against Cardinals right-hander Miles Mikolas. Adell is dealing with tightness in his left hip. While it's not considered a very serious injury, it will keep the 25-year-old out of action for the second straight day. For what it's worth, Adell says he's improving and plans to return to the field on Tuesday at Busch Stadium. In just two games played so far in 2025, Adell has gone 2-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout in last weekend's series against the Chicago White Sox. Paris is 2-for-6 with a solo home run, a stolen base and two strikeouts in his three games played. He has never faced Mikolas in his career and will be a low-upside DFS option in his second straight start in center.
