Angels' Jo Adell: Knocks three hits Friday
Rotowire
Adell went 3-for-3 with a double in Friday's 2-0 win over San Francisco.
Adell was held out of the Angels' lineup Thursday in the midst of a 1-for-13 stretch at the plate, and the day off seemed to benefit him, as the outfielder collected three of the team's five hits in his return. It was Adell's first three-hit performance of the season and just his third multi-hit effort over 15 contests. He's posted a modest .235/.291/.392 slash line with two home runs, nine RBI, four runs and no stolen-base attempts on the campaign.

Angels' Jo Adell: Not worried about hip issue
Rotowire
Adell isn't concerned about the hip tightness that caused him to be removed early from Saturday's win over the White Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. "I'll be OK," Adell said after the game.
Adell grabbed at his left hip area after beating out an infield single in the fifth inning and had to be removed from the game. The Angels later described the outfielder's issue as "left hip tightness," but Adell didn't seem to be worried about the injury when asked about it after the win. Kyren Paris replaced Adell on first base and then in center field after the latter was lifted Saturday, and Paris could be in line for some starts if Adell needs to miss any further time.

Angels' Jo Adell: Busts out of spring slump
Rotowire
Adell went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, two total runs and two total RBI in Wednesday's Cactus League victory over Cleveland.
Adell came into the game struggling at the plate, but he created reason for optimism with his big performance Wednesday.

Per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register, the Angels haven't yet decided how they'll handle center field this season, but both Adell and Mickey Moniak are likely to spend time at the position now that Mike Trout is shifting to right field.

Angels' Jo Adell: Belts grand slam in spring game
Rotowire
Adell went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Friday's Cactus League loss to the Dodgers.
Adell got the best of Dustin May in the second inning, swatting a grand slam to left-center field to give the Angels an early lead. That was the outfielder's only knock of the game, however, and in fact it's his only hit so far this spring through 12 at-bats. Adell and Mickey Moniak are vying for time in center field for the upcoming season now that Mike Trout is moving to right field.

Angels' Jo Adell: Slated to play in spring opener
Rotowire
Adell (oblique) is expected to play in the Angels' Cactus League opener Saturday versus the Mariners, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Adell finished the 2024 season on the injured list after suffering a left oblique strain in early September, but he made a full recovery from the injury over the offseason and isn't operating with any restrictions this spring. The 25-year-old struck out in 28 percent of his 450 plate appearances with the Angels in 2024 and batted just .207, but he displayed the power-speed combination (20 home runs, 15 steals) that had made him an enticing fantasy prospect during his time in the minors. Batting average will continue to remain an issue moving forward unless he reduces his strikeout rate, but the toolsy 26-year-old should have the inside track for an everyday role in the outfield heading into Opening Day. After playing primarily in right field last season, Adell is expected to see most of his reps in center field in 2025 while the Angels look to move the oft-injured Mike Trout to a corner spot in an effort to preserve his health.

Rotowire
Adell went 0-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Tigers.
The 25-year-old also got caught stealing for the 10th time this season, but Adell is creeping closer to a 20-20 campaign -- he's got 18 homers as well in 122 games. He's also been a more consistent contributor in August, slashing .277/.333/.446 through 90 plate appearances with a 24.4 percent strikeout rate, which is a slight improvement on his 28.1 percent rate for the year. The Angels have been extremely patient with the athletic outfielder, and that patience could be paying off.

Angels' Jo Adell: Goes deep Friday
Rotowire
Adell went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss to Washington.
Adell accounted for the Angels' only runs in the contest with a 431-foot, two-run shot in the second inning. The long ball extended his hitting streak to eight games, a span in which he's slashing .310/.355/.483 with six RBI and three extra-base hits. Though Adell's .202 season batting average is problematic, he's brought his strikeout rate to a poor-but-improved 28.6 percent and has been useful in fantasy for his combination of power and speed, as he's produced 17 home runs and 14 steals along with 53 RBI.
