Jo Adell's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday afternoon with a left-oblique strain. The outfielder left Friday's game early and will now sit out for at least the next ten games. In addition, Angels outfielder Kevin Pillar was also placed on the injured list. Since August 17, Adell has begun to find some rhythm at the plate holding a modest .242/.299/.435 line with four doubles, one triple, two home runs, eight RBI, and a stolen base. Fantasy managers should expect Jack Lopez and Mickey Moniak to see the majority of starts in right field while Adell remains out. This evening, Moniak will cover right field and bat fifth in what could be a favorable matchup against Texas Rangers right-hander Jack Leiter.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell (oblique) left Friday night's contest early at Globe Life Field against the division-rival Texas Rangers with left-oblique irritation, according to the team. Before being replaced in right field by Kevin Pillar, Adell was hitless in his only at-bat of the contest with a strikeout in the second inning. The fact that the 25-year-old right-handed slugger was pulled immediately doesn't bode well for Adell's chances of returning in short order. And given where we are at in the season with only a few weeks left for the out-of-contention Angels, Adell could very well be shut down for the rest of the 2024 season. The former 10th overall pick in 2017 delivered his first 20-homer season this year while also adding 62 RBI and 15 stolen bases, but he's hitting just over .208 with a .281 and below-average .684 OPS.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell finished August with a bang, going to 2-for-3 with a pair of solo home runs in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Mariners, bringing his season total to 20. Adell finished the month batting .277, the first time he's hit better than .211 in any one month since the beginning of the year when he hit .316 over the first month. The former first-round draft pick has shown a more patient approach since the All-Star break, logging a 23.6% K% that is down from 29.6% in the first half, along with a 9.0% BB% that is up from 6.9%. With 15 stolen bases on the season, he has a blend of power and speed, but he needs to keep it going for an entire season in order to be depended on for fantasy.
