Adams was outrighted to Triple-A Omaha on Friday.
Adams made six relief appearances during his first season with the Royals in 2020, but he was inefficient once again, allowing nine earned runs on 15 hits and no walks while striking out six over 8.2 innings. He'll be cast off the 40-man roster to make room for several prospects who will be protected from the Rule 5 draft.

Royals' Chance Adams: Back in big leagues
Rotowire
Adams was recalled by the Royals on Monday.
Adams made just one appearance in his previous stint on the Royals' roster, allowing three runs on four hits while recording just five outs. He now owns an 8.57 ERA in 34.2 major-league innings, meaning he's unlikely to fill anything but a low-leverage relief role during his time with the club. Ian Kennedy (calf) landed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Adams' shuffle between the major-league roster and alternate camp continues. The right-hander was called up by Kansas City on Saturday but will be optioned for the second time in three days.

Adams was optioned to the Royals' alternate training site Friday, but he'll rejoin the active roster just one day later after Nick Heath (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list. The right-hander spent the start of the season on the injured list with an undisclosed injury and is unlikely to pitch in important spots.

Royals' Chance Adams: Activated and optioned
Rotowire
Adams (undisclosed) was reinstated from the injured list and optioned to the Royals' alternate training site Friday.
An undisclosed issue sent Adams to the injured list to start the year, though he wasn't particularly likely to break camp with the team even if healthy. He's thrown just 33 career big-league innings, struggling to an 8.18 ERA.

Adams (undisclosed) was placed on the injured list Thursday, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

Yankees' Chance Adams: Bumped off 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Yankees designated Adams for assignment Wednesday.
Once one of the organization's most prized pitching prospects, Adams' development plateaued after he churned out a 2.89 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 103 strikeouts in 115.1 innings with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in 2017. He appeared in 13 games with the big club in 2019 but worked exclusively in relief, giving up 24 earned runs on 39 hits and 11 walks over just 25.1 innings. If Adams clears waivers, he'll likely stay in the organization and open the 2020 campaign back at Triple-A.

Yankees' Chance Adams: Recalled by Yankees
Rotowire
Adams was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.
Adams has worked sparingly with the big-league club throughout the season, serving a role as a multiple-inning reliever. He hasn't been particularly effective, allowing multiple earned runs in four of his eight appearances. That's resulted in a 7.48 ERA and 1.85 WHIP, so it's unlikely he sees any type of role in high-leverage situations.

Yankees' Chance Adams: Sent back to minors
Rotowire
Adams allowed five runs on 10 hits and three walks while striking out two over 3.2 innings Thursday night against the Indians. He was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after the game.
Adams was lit up by Cleveland on the way to a 19-5 loss in the series opener, though his team was already facing a big deficit when he entered the game. The 25-year-old has now given up at least one run in each of his last six outings, resulting in a demotion. He's accrued a 7.48 ERA and 1.85 WHIP with a 16:10 K:BB over 21.2 innings this season in the majors.

Yankees' Chance Adams: Back with big club

Adams was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
The Yankees have yet to announce a corresponding roster move. Adams served as the 26th man for New York's doubleheader against the Red Sox over the weekend, allowing two runs on three hits over two innings. The soon-to-be 25-year-old has given up 11 runs across 14 big-league innings this season.

Yankees' Chance Adams: Up as 26th man
Rotowire
Adams will serve as the Yankees' 26th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Red Sox.
He will likely work as the primary pitcher in the nightcap, with Chad Green potentially working as the opener, depending on how the day game unfolds. Adams has a 4.46 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 76 strikeouts in 78.2 innings at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and has given up nine runs in 12 innings in the big leagues this year.

Yankees' Chance Adams: Heads back to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Yankees optioned Adams to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.
Adams made the trip to London with the Yankees over the weekend and was recalled ahead of Sunday's 12-8 win over the Red Sox. He was pressed into relief for the contest but didn't impress, recording just two outs while serving up four runs on five hits. The Yankees will swap him out of the bullpen with another long-relief option in Nestor Cortes, who was called up from Triple-A on Tuesday.

Yankees' Chance Adams: Joins big club in London
Rotowire
The Yankees recalled Adams from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.
Adams had already joined the Yankees as a member of the taxi squad for their two-game series with the Red Sox in London this weekend but wasn't activated until New York needed seven relievers to cover 8.1 innings in Saturday's 17-13 win. With the Yankees using an opener (Stephen Tarpley) for Sunday's contest, manager Aaron Boone said that Adams and Luis Cessa would be the main options to provide length behind Tarpley, per Erik Boland of Newsday. Adams has previously made three long-relief appearances with the Yankees earlier this season, giving up five runs and striking out 10 over 11.1 innings.

Yankees' Chance Adams: Back to Double-A
Rotowire
The Yankees returned Adams to Double-A Trenton following Tuesday's doubleheader with the Mets.
Adams served as the Yankees' 26th man in the twin bill, working in long relief in the second game after James Paxton lasted just 2.2 innings. The right-hander helped save the New York bullpen by covering 4.1 frames -- giving up three runs (two earned) on three hits and three walks -- but Adams' heavy usage takes him out of the mix for Saturday's game against the White Sox, when the Yankees will require a fifth starter. The Yankees now seem likely to get by with a bullpen game that day.

Yankees' Chance Adams: Joins big club for doubleheader
Rotowire
The Yankees recalled Adams from Double-A Trenton to serve as the 26th man for their doubleheader Tuesday with the Mets, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
New York recently transferred Adams from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to Trenton with the expectation that he would start for the Double-A affiliate Tuesday, but the organization evidently determined he would be more useful as a long-inning option out of the bullpen for the big club's twin bill. The Yankees will have to reduce their roster to 25 ahead of their series with the White Sox that begins Thursday, but if Adams goes unused in the doubleheader, it's possible he'll stick around in the majors. Due to Domingo German's (hip) recent move to the injured list, the Yankees will have an opening in the rotation Saturday in Chicago, and manager Aaron Boone has already mentioned Adams as a possibility for the spot start.

Yankees' Chance Adams: Returns to minors after first win

Adams (1-0) earned the win against the Royals in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader. He allowed three runs on five hits across four innings and was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after the game, Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports.
Adams pitched better than his final line indicates with the Yankees doing him no favors with multiple defensive misplays, but he nonetheless managed to get his first career win. The 24-year-old was serving as the 26th man for the doubleheader, so he was headed back to the RailRiders following the game regardless of his performance. Manager Aaron Boone liked what he saw from Adams on Saturday and said "he'll be back" with the Yankees at some point.

Yankees' Chance Adams: Up to pitch in Game 2
Rotowire
Adams was called up to serve as the 26th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Royals, Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports. He is expected to work as the primary pitcher for Game 2 behind opener Chad Green.
Adams logged three scoreless innings with four strikeouts in his lone MLB appearance this season. He will likely be limited to around four or five innings, but working as the primary pitcher could allow him to qualify for the win.
