Joan Adon's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Washington Nationals right-hander Joan Adon was called up from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday and will make the start against the San Francisco Giants on the road. Adon was brought up to replace right-hander Josiah Gray (elbow), who landed on the 15-day injured list. Depending on how long Gray ends up being out and how Adon performs in Washington's starting rotation, the 25-year-old could stick around in D.C., making him worth a look as a waiver-wire pickup in NL-only leagues. He has above-average velocity and gets frequent ground balls, although he had a rough 6.45 ERA with 24 walks and 48 strikeouts in 51 2/3 innings over 12 appearances (10 starts) for the Nats in 2023. Unless he shows more consistency than he has in the last three seasons in the big leagues, fantasy managers in mixed leagues can probably ignore him.
