Adams was released by the Braves on Thursday. He was designated for assignment last week and it sounds like he requested his unconditional release. With just over three weeks left in the season, Adams may struggle to latch on with another club in 2020. He hit .184 with two home runs and 18 strikeouts in 49 at-bats this season.

Adams was designated for assignment by the Braves on Sunday. The veteran slugger started only one of the past four games and has two hits and 11 strikeouts in his past 16 at-bats, so it isn't a major surprise from the Braves. Overall, Adams had a .184/.216/.347 slash line with two homers in 51 plate appearances. The move frees up roster space for Atlanta following the trade acquisition of Tommy Milone.

Adams is out of the lineup Friday against the Phillies. The veteran slugger sat out both ends of Wednesday's doubleheader and is now on the bench for the third straight contest. Adams has a .196/.229/.370 slash line with two homers and 16 strikeouts through 48 plate appearances. Marcell Ozuna will serve as the designated hitter while Adam Duvall starts in left field.

Adams is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Yankees. Adams sat out for the first game of Wednesday's twin bill with Gerrit Cole on the mound. There has been no word of any injury, so it appears he's getting the day off to clear his head amidst a 9-for-46 (.196) start to the season.

Adams is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Yankees. He typically gets the start against righties but will head to the bench against Gerrit Cole in this one. Adam Duvall will start in left field while Marcell Ozuna starts at designated hitter.
