• Nationals' Matt Adams: Drives in seven Sunday

  9H ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Adams went 2-for-5 with a pair of home runs and seven RBI in Sunday's 15-5 win over the Diamondbacks. The seven RBI were a career high for Adams, who did his damage on a three-run blast off Zack Godley in the third inning and a grand slam off Stefan Crichton in the eighth. Adams, who also homered in Saturday's loss, is expected to continue occupying the large side of a platoon at first base now that his recent bouts with an oblique injury and back spasms are behind him. The Nationals are tentatively slated to face four right-handed starting pitchers in their series with the Phillies that begins Monday, so Adams could be a quality option in many weekly fantasy formats.

• Nationals' Matt Adams: Remains out Friday

  3D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Adams (oblique) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Diamondbacks. Adams is out of the lineup for the third straight game with a strained left oblique. The team has believed to this point a trip to the injured list won't be necessary, but it's unlikely it will want to operate with a short bench for much longer. Howie Kendrick will start at first base and bat fifth Friday.
