Adam suffered the injury in his latest relief appearance in a tough break. He will undergo season-ending surgery later this week.

With a perfect performance and a season ERA still sitting at 0.00, Adam continues to solidify his role as a reliable option in the Padres' bullpen. His impressive 14.5 K/9 and minuscule 0.46 WHIP make him an attractive asset for fantasy managers seeking strikeouts and holds. Expect Adam to remain a key contributor in high-leverage situations moving forward.

Jason Adam has been traded to the San Diego Padres for Dylan Lesko, Homer Bush Jr, and an additional prospect.

Fantasy Impact

Adam joins several other Tampa Bay Rays to be dealt at this trade deadline. Adam has been productive in 2024, sporting a 2.49 ERA and 9.6 K/9 in 47 innings. It's unclear if he will be in the mix for saves in San Diego, but he will provide valuable depth in their bullpen.

Jason Adam was flawless in Friday's 2-0 victory over the Guardians, striking out three in a clean inning to notch his fourth save of the season.

Fantasy Impact

Adam's performance was a textbook display of efficiency and control, utilizing just 14 pitches to retire the side. With a season ERA now improved to an impressive 1.71 and a WHIP standing at 0.81, Adam continues to solidify his role in high-leverage situations. His strikeout rate remains robust, and his ability to limit base runners is a significant asset for fantasy managers in leagues that value saves and holds. Given his consistent performance and the trust he's earning in save situations, Adam should be considered a reliable option in all formats where relievers are of high value.

Jason Adam added another save to his tally in a tight contest, helping the Rays edge out the Red Sox 5-3.

Fantasy Impact

Jason Adam struck out three and walked one in a hitless inning, securing his third save of the season. Despite a solid ERA of 1.47 and a WHIP of 0.82, Adam's moderate strikeout rate of 7.9 K/9 and a high FIP of 4.40 suggest some volatility in his performances. However, his ability to close games, evidenced by his latest outing, keeps him relevant in fantasy leagues, particularly those that value saves and holds.
