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.

Jason Adam secured his third save of the season in the Rays' 10-8 victory over the Mets.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed one earned run and two hits while striking out one batter in his inning of work. Despite a slightly shaky outing, Adam's overall performance this season remains strong, boasting a 1.80 ERA and a 0.73 WHIP. His ability to close games is evident, though his K/9 rate suggests limited strikeout upside, which might concern some fantasy managers. Given his solid ERA and WHIP, he should continue to be a reliable option for saves and holds, but don't expect him to rack up strikeouts at an elite rate.

Jason Adam delivered under pressure, allowing just one hit and one walk while striking out two to notch a save in the Rays' 1-0 win over the Brewers.

Fantasy Impact

This performance underscores a season of solid reliability from Adam, who now boasts a 1.29 ERA and a 0.64 WHIP through 15 appearances. His ability to maintain a low BABIP (.129) and a decent strikeout-to-walk ratio (3.00) suggests that while he might not be the flashiest option in fantasy leagues, his consistency, especially in holds and now increasingly in save situations, makes him a viable option for fantasy managers in need of steady bullpen contributions.
