JUNE 5, 2022 • MLB.COM

Back in majors Adell was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Taylor Ward was placed on the 10-day injured list with a hamstring strain, and manager Joe Maddon made it clear that Adell would not be up were it not for Ward's injury. Adell hit .122 with one home run, five walks and 18 strikeouts over his last 11 games at Triple-A.

Back in action after flu Adell missed time earlier this week due to a stomach flu, according to Sam Blum of The Athletic, but the outfielder returned to action for Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday and went 0...

Impact Adell was sent down to Salt Lake in early May after struggling to get going in the majors, and he is slashing .241/.366/.638 with five homers, 12 RBI and a stolen base in 15 games with the Triple-A club. He could get another call-up at some point in the campaign, but it would likely take an injury for Adell to see an everyday big-league role.

Bombing away in Triple-A Adell is slashing .355/.500/1.032 with five home runs, six doubles, 12 runs, 10 RBI and a stolen base across 40 plate appearances since his demotion to Triple-A Salt Lake on May 3.

Impact Adell broke camp with the Angels and was expected to see plenty of playing time in the majors, but he struggled offensively and defensively and was consequently sent down to work on his game. The 23-year-old has overwhelmed Triple-A pitching, as he has gone deep in five of his past seven games. Adell has also posted a promising 8:10 BB:K with Salt Lake after drawing just one walk while striking out 24 times during his stint in the majors. It's likely that Adell will be called back up to the big club in time, especially if he keeps mashing in the minors, though he'd likely be a fourth outfielder at this point given the early season success of Brandon Marsh and Taylor Ward.

Demoted to Triple-A Adell was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

Impact Adell is still just 23 years old and has plenty of potential, but he'd fallen into a part-time role in left field and wasn't making the most of his opportunities. His lopsided .231/.242/.431 slash line is good for a nearly average 96 wRC+, but his combination of a 36.4 percent strikeout rate and a 1.5 percent walk rate couldn't get much uglier. He'll try to get his bat going in regular at-bats at the Triple-A level, with Jose Rojas recalled to serve as a bench outfielder.

Filling short-side platoon role Adell will start in left field and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Impact With Mike Trout overcoming a hand injury just over a week ago and Brandon Marsh moving past a brief bout with a stomach illness, Adell has transitioned into a short-side platoon/fourth outfielder role for the Angels. Though he'll crack the lineup Sunday against left-hander Dallas Keuchel, the righty-hitting Adell is starting for only the second time in six games.

Grand slam in win Adell went 1-for-3 with a grand slam in a 7-6 win Sunday over Baltimore.

Impact Adell capped off a six-run first inning with a grand slam. The 23-year-old has now hit safely in five straight and eight of his last nine. Most notably, Sunday was the first time all season where he did not strike out in the game, lowering his strikeout rate to 42 percent. The outfielder has displayed his power stroke in the early going with six extra-base hits and a .490 SLG.

Starting Sunday after all Adell will start in left field and will bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Impact Adell initially appeared set to sit against a right-handed starting pitcher (Chris Ellis) for the second day in a row, but he'll draw into the lineup for Brandon Marsh, who was scratched due to a stomach illness. Assuming the lefty-hitting Marsh's ailment proves to be a day-to-day concern, he'll move back into a strong-side platoon role in left field during the upcoming week, while the righty-hitting Adell sees most of his starts against southpaws.

Moves into short-side platoon role Adell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Adell saw his streak of seven consecutive starts come to an end in Saturday's 5-4 loss, and the righty-hitting 23-year-old will continue to sit in favor of the lefty-hitting Brandon Marsh while the Orioles bring another right-hander (Chris Ellis) to the hill for the series finale. Now that Mike Trout is healthy again after missing three straight games with a hand injury, Adell looks like he'll have to settle for the short side of a platoon in the outfield with Marsh.

First steal of season Wednesday Adell went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Astros.

Impact The 23-year-old outfielder continues to put his shaky start to the season behind him. Adell has hit safely in six of the last seven games, slashing .286/.310/.464 over that stretch with two doubles and a homer. His 37.9 percent strikeout rate in that time remains troubling, however, and Adell will need to learn to make more consistent contact if he's ever going to come close to being the player his minor-league performances suggested.

Double, RBI in win Adell went 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI in a 7-2 win Tuesday over the Astros.

Impact Adell doubled in the second, drove in a run with a single in the fourth and added another single in the seventh. The former top prospect is 9-for-30 over his last eight games with five extra-base hits. He struck out twice on Tuesday and has a 47.5 percent strikeout rate in his first 40 plate appearances on the season and only one walk.

Swats second homer Friday Adell went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-6 victory versus Texas.

Impact Adell gave the Angels a two-run lead in the second inning with his 447-foot solo smash to left field. The long ball was his fourth hit, each of which has gone for extra bases (two doubles, two homers). However, Adell has struggled to make contact early on this season, striking out at least once in every game in which he has played and fanning 12 times overall in just 21 plate appearances. He has yet to work a walk.
