According to Robert Murray of FanSided.com, the Los Angeles Angels and outfielder Jo Adell have settled on a one-year, $2.1 million contract to avoid salary arbitration. Adell has spent his entire professional career with the Angels after being drafted by them with the 10th overall pick in the 2017 MLB draft. Last summer, Adell caught fire in April, posting a stellar .327/.379/.615 slash line with four home runs and five stolen bases but struggled the rest of the season with a .190/.266/.368 line. However, he was able to hit a career-high 20 long balls and swipe 15 bags last season. He continued to hit the ball hard with an 11.7% barrel rate and a 44.7% hard-hit but held a hefty 27.9% strikeout rate. Adell should be viewed as a decent target for power and speed that comes with risk given his lack of contact skills.
The Los Angeles Angels moved outfielder Jo Adell (oblique) to the 60-day injured list on Monday, officially putting an end to his 2024 season. In corresponding moves, the Angels selected the contract of left-hander Jose Suarez and optioned right-hander Hans Crouse to Triple-A Salt Lake after Sunday's game. Adell was never really a realistic candidate to return this year with only a few weeks left after he strained his left oblique during the contest last Friday against the division-rival Texas Rangers. The 25-year-old will now have plenty of time to rehab his oblique before heading into spring training next February. Adell fanned 126 times in 451 plate appearances in a career-high 130 games this year, but he also had his first 20-homer season while driving in 62 and stealing 15 bases. He should enter 2025 as the Halos' everyday right fielder with a decent power/speed profile.
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.
