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.

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

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.

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.
