Adam (quadriceps) underwent left quadriceps tendon repair surgery in September. His recovery has remained on the original projected timeline.

He participated in fielding practice on Sunday and said afterward: "I felt great. It's more the reactive. Like, anytime it's planned, they feel good about it. But the quick reaction, in-game reaction that you can't predict, that's where they're just being more cautious. But we're getting close." An additional simulated game is scheduled within the next few days. The weekend represents a target for his first exhibition appearance, which would provide opportunity for three to four additional games before the season begins.
Jason Adam is targeting an opening day return after undergoing quadriceps surgery in September.

Adam faced hitters for the first time on February 20, but has yet to appear in a spring training game.

Adam is coming off a strong season in his first full year in San Diego, posting a 1.93 ERA and 70 strikeouts across 65 1/3 innings. His season ended early due to a ruptured quad tendon. He figures to enter next season in a set-up role behind Mason Miller.
The Padres placed RHP Jason Adam on the 15-day injured list with a ruptured left quad tendon.

Jason Adam struck out two batters in a scoreless outing to earn a hold in Tuesday's win over the Guardians.
Fantasy Impact
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.
