Adell went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Saturday's win over the Royals.
Adell jumped on a hanging slider with two men on in the second and launched it 419 feet for his seventh home run of the season and the third in his last four games. The outfielder has also hit safely in five consecutive contests, racking up six RBI over that stretch to go along with five runs scored. Despite those impressive numbers, Adell is still batting just .176 in May and has recorded multiple hits in only one game this month.

Angels' Jo Adell: Goes deep Wednesday
Rotowire
Adell went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a additional RBI in Wednesday's 5-4 victory versus the Pirates.
Adell put the Angels on the board with a solo shot to center field in the third inning, and he added a run-scoring single in the fifth. He finished with his first multi-hit game since April 27. With Mike Trout set to miss extended time due to knee surgery, Adell has become a near-everyday starter in the outfield. However, he's struggled so far this month, slashing .125/.185/.250 with seven strikeouts over seven games, though he does have three RBI and a pair of steals.

Angels' Jo Adell: Swipes sixth bag
Rotowire
Adell went 0-for-2 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in Saturday's loss to the Guardians.
Adell has been quite aggressive on the basepaths this season, as he's already set a career high with six thefts, though he has also been caught five times, tied for most in the majors. With Mike Trout (knee) set to miss extended time, Adell should get the opportunity to start in the outfield on a near-everyday basis. The former top prospect is looking to finally break through at the major-league level, and he's fared pretty well so far this season with a .265/.320/.515 slash line, four homers, 11 RBI and 12 runs through 75 plate appearances.
Adell went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Monday in a 6-5 win against the Phillies.
Adell batted out of the No. 2 spot for the first time this season and immediately made his presence felt with a solo homer in the first inning. The long ball was his second in three games, and he's knocked in five runs over that stretch. Adell has been swinging a hot bat since mid-April -- he's reached base safely in 10 straight contests and is slashing .407/.484/.815 with three home runs, eight RBI, five runs and a stolen base during that span.

Angels' Jo Adell: Batting second Monday
Rotowire
Adell will start in right field and bat second in Monday's contest versus the Phillies.
It's Adell's seventh straight start in right field and the first time this season that he's batted higher than sixth. The 25-year-old is sporting a .327/.382/.592 batting line with three home runs and five stolen bases over his first 21 games this season and, perhaps most importantly, he's striking out at just a 23.6 percent clip. Adell came into this season with a career 35.4 percent strikeout rate at the major-league level.
Adell went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's loss to the Twins.
Adell launched a two-out, two-run homer in his first trip to the plate to bring the Angels back within two runs of Minnesota before adding an RBI single in his next at-bat, giving him a season-high three RBI in the contest. It also marked the outfielder's first three-hit performance of the campaign, and he's now tallied multiple hits in three of his last six games. Adell is batting .350 in April with three homers, nine RBI and eight runs scored.

Angels' Jo Adell: Nabs third straight start
Rotowire
Adell will start in right field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
He'll be awarded a third consecutive start after going 3-for-6 with a home run, a double, two RBI and an additional run scored over the past two games, while also reaching base twice after being hit by pitches. Since he first broke into the big leagues in 2020, Adell has struggled to have much staying power in the majors while maintaining high strikeout rates, but he's shown some progression on that front so far this season. Through 39 plate appearances, Adell has struck out just eight times (20.5 percent).
Adell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a stolen base Monday in a loss to the Orioles.
Adell produced the Angels' first run with a solo homer in the seventh inning. He then helped in the team's attempt to try to rally in the ninth, leading off the frame with a hit-by-pitch, advancing to second on a single and subsequently stealing third, though he was ultimately stranded there. Adell continues to receive sporadic playing time -- this was just his second start in the Angels' past six contests -- but he's done well when on the field, slashing .281/.314/.531 with two home runs, five RBI, seven runs and six steals through 35 plate appearances.

Angels' Jo Adell: Back to bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Adell is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
Adell will head back to the bench after starting each of the last three games while going 2-for-10 with four strikeouts and getting caught on both of his stolen-base attempts. Despite the recent spike in starting opportunities, Adell shouldn't be viewed as anything more than a part-time player in the Anaheim outfield until he puts together a strong stretch of production at the plate.

Angels' Jo Adell: Makes impact in Wednesday's loss
Rotowire
Adell went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Rays.
Getting the start in center field and batting seventh, Adell drove a Kevin Kelly sinker over the wall in right field for his first homer of the season. He then added a two-out single and a steal in the eighth, but he snuffed out the rally with a mental error -- he lost track of the count and over-ran the bag on his steal, thinking the batter had struck out. The 25-year-old outfielder is showing signs of finally putting it together in the majors, going 4-for-15 with a 1:2 BB:K, three steals, three RBI and four runs, but mistakes like Wednesday's won't endear him to manager Ron Washington. Still, with Aaron Hicks and Mickey Moniak both struggling at the plate, the door is open for Adell to claim a much larger role.

Angels' Jo Adell: Starting in center field Wednesday
Rotowire
Adell will start in center field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game in Miami.
It's Adell's second start in six games, although he did come off the bench in Monday's contest, adding two steals and an RBI. While at-bats in the early going have been tough to come by so far for Adell, the team may eventually give him one last look in a regular role.

Angels' Jo Adell: Swipes two bags Monday
Rotowire
Adell went 1-for-2 with a run, an RBI and two stolen bases in Monday's 7-4 win against Miami.
Adell began the game on the bench but came into the contest as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning. He flied out in his first at-bat before helping to generate a critical insurance run in the ninth inning when he singled, stole both second and third base, and crossed the plate on a balk. Adell has been used mostly as a pinch hitter or defensive replacement so far this season, as he's started only one game. There's a path for him to see more starts in right field, though Mickey Moniak and Aaron Hicks are also competing for playing time there.
