Jo Adell finally got a shot as a full-timer at the major-league level for the first time in 2024 and the results were mixed. A .207/.280/.402 batting line was ugly and a 27.9 percent strikeout rate wasn't great (although, it was markedly better than the 35.4 percent career mark he had coming into the season). However, Adell also swatted 20 home runs, stole 15 bases and ranked well above average in terms of hard-hit rate (44.7 percent) and barrel rate (11.7 percent). He turned himself into a good defender, too, which no doubt helped to keep him in the lineup even as he was inconsistent at the plate. Adell had just a .621 OPS and 30.3 percent strikeout rate versus right-handed pitching and the odds that he'll ever escape the bottom of the lineup against righties seems low. That said, he won't turn 26 until after Opening Day and he should still be a solid Roto option in five-outfielder leagues if you're willing to wait out the valleys to get to the peaks.

  • Angels' Jo Adell: Swats second spring homer

    Adell went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Saturday's Cactus League victory over the Brewers. Adell gave the Angels their first lead in the second inning with a three-run blast to left-center field. The outfielder has made the most of his two long balls this spring -- his other homer was a grand slam against the Dodgers. Adell could be the Angels' Opening Day center fielder since Mike Trout is moving to right field this season.

  • Angels' Jo Adell: Belts grand slam in spring game

    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

    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.

  • Angels' Jo Adell: Ticketed for center field

    Adell is in line to play more in center field with the Angels' decision to move Mike Trout (knee) to right field, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. Adell was a Gold Glove finalist in right field in 2024 but will be tasked with a new position in 2025, at least while Trout is healthy. The 25-year-old Adell has started only 15 games in center field at the major-league level but played there extensively in the minors. Mickey Moniak will also be in the mix for starts in center field and has more experience at the position than Adell.

  • Angels' Jo Adell: Gets $2.1 million from Halos

    The Angels and Adell avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.1 million contract Thursday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. It's a nice raise for Adell, who was in his first year of arbitration eligibility. The former top prospect slashed .207/.280/.402in 2024 in his first year as a full-timer at the big-league level, popping 20 home runs and stealing 15 bases along the way.

  • Angels' Jo Adell: On IL with oblique strain

    The Angels placed Adell on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left oblique strain. Adell left Friday's game with oblique irritation and further testing revealed he's dealing with a strain.

  • Angels' Jo Adell: Smacks two homers in win

    Adell went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs in Saturday's win over Seattle. Adell was a thorn in Bryan Woo's side throughout the contest, tagging the right-hander for solo homers in the third and and sixth innings as the Angels took care of business at home. It marked the first two-home run performance for Adell this season, and he's now up to 20 long balls overall on the campaign. The outfielder finished the month of August with four homers, 14 RBI and 12 runs scored, batting .277 over that stretch.

  • Angels' Jo Adell: Swipes 15th bag

    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: Not in Wednesday's lineup

    Adell is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports. Adell has an .806 OPS with two homers and two doubles through 12 games in August, and he'll take a seat for Wednesday's series finale versus Toronto. Kevin Pillar will start in right field and bat third.

  • Angels' Jo Adell: Salvages day with late homer

    Adell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Monday's 4-2 loss to Toronto. After striking out in his first two at-bats, Adell came through for fantasy managers with a solo homer in the ninth inning off closer Chad Green. The long ball was merely the Angels second hit of the game. Adell has generated a hit in 10 of 11 games in August, going 12-for-40 (.300) at the plate with six runs and seven RBI.

  • Angels' Jo Adell: Goes deep Friday

    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.

  • Angels' Jo Adell: Collects three RBI in victory

    Adell went 2-for-5 with a double, a run and three RBI on Thursday in a 9-4 win against the Yankees. Adell broke the game open in the fifth inning with a bases-clearing double that gave Los Angeles a 7-1 lead. The outfielder extended his hitting streak to seven contests, though this was the first time during that span that he's posted multiple hits. The double was also only the second extra-base hit during Adell's modest hitting streak, and he had knocked in just one run over that period before racking up the three RBI on Thursday.

  • Angels' Jo Adell: Knocks homer in win

    Adell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and was hit by two pitches in Tuesday's 10-7 win over the Rockies. Adell's seventh-inning solo shot gave the Angels the lead for good. Prior to Tuesday, he had gone just 1-for-16 with one walk over his previous five contests. The outfielder is up to 16 homers, 47 RBI, 41 runs scored and 13 stolen bases this season, but he's slashing just .193/.270/.393 over 97 games.

  • Angels' Jo Adell: Idle Thursday

Kevin Pillar will get the starting nod in right field instead and bat fifth.

  • Angels' Jo Adell: Picks up steal Friday

    Adell went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 13-3 loss to the Athletics. Adell is up to 11 steals on the year, including two over 13 games in July. He's hitting a mild .225 (9-for-40) this month, though that is an improvement on his .192 batting average for the season. The outfielder has added a .657 OPS, 15 home runs, 44 RBI, 36 runs scored, eight doubles and one triple over 294 plate appearances. While no move is imminent, Adell could lose playing time once Mike Trout (knee) is activated from the injured list, which is projected to happen in late July or early August.

  • Angels' Jo Adell: Blasts clutch three-run homer

    Adell went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer in Sunday's win over the Mariners. Adell came through in the clutch with a three-run homer off Austin Voth in the eighth inning to put the Angels in front 3-2. He heads into the All-Star break with five RBI over his last three games but is still struggling mightily on the whole this year. The 25-year-old is slashing .190/.255/.399 with 15 homers, 43 RBI, 36 runs and a 20:86 BB:K in 290 plate appearances.

  • Angels' Jo Adell: Held out again Thursday

    Adell isn't in the Angels' lineup Thursday versus the Mariners after he was held out of the lineup Wednesday due to an illness.

With Adell set to miss his second straight game, Kevin Pillar is in right field again, batting cleanup.

  • Angels' Jo Adell: Dealing with illness

    Adell was held out of Wednesday's lineup because he has a virus, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. Per Fletcher, Adell has the same virus that recently shelved teammate Brandon Drury. The latter sat out 11 days due to the illness, but it's not clear if Adell's symptoms are as severe or if he'll need to miss additional time. Kevin Pillar got a start in right field Wednesday in Adell's absence.
