Collects first MLB win Adon (1-2) picked up the win in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Diamondbacks, giving up three hits and two walks over 6.1 scoreless innings in a 1-0 victory....
Impact The young right-hander put together the best start of his big-league career so far, as he didn't allow a runner past second base while tossing 57 of 88 pitches for strikes in his first career win and first quality start. Adon has not has a good beginning to the season overall, posting a 5.87 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 13:9 K:BB through 15.1 innings over three starts, but the Nationals will stick with him in the rotation for now given the 23-year-old's potential.

Starting second game of twin bill Adon is scheduled to start the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Diamondbacks, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
Impact After the Nationals' series opener with the Diamondbacks was postponed Monday due to inclement weather, Josiah Gray was pushed back a day in the pitching schedule and will take the hill for the first game of the twin bill. Though Adon will stay on his normal schedule to pitch the nightcap Tuesday, he'll likely be passed over for a second start this week in favor of Gray. With Gray expected to get the ball Sunday against the Giants on his normal four days' rest, Adon is unlikely to make his fourth start of the season until early next week against the Marlins.

Another poor outing Adon (0-2) allowed six earned runs on nine hits and three walks while striking out five across 4.2 innings to take the loss Thursday against the Pirates.
Impact Adon was handed a three-run lead prior to taking the mound, but he was unable to maintain the advantage. He surrendered a pair of home runs that accounted for half of the damage against him, and he also struggled to get pitches in the zone. Across a pair of starts and a total of nine innings, Adon has allowed 10 earned runs and seven walks. Prior to earning a spot in the Nationals' rotation to open the campaign, Adon had thrown only 23.1 combined innings between the upper levels of the minors and the major leagues. That makes a demotion to Triple-A Rochester a realistic possibility if his struggles continue, but for now Adon is projected to start Tuesday against Arizona.

Struggles in season debut Adon (0-1) took the loss Saturday as the Nationals fell 5-0 to the Mets, giving up four runs on four hits and four walks over 4.1 innings while striking out three.
Impact Making his second career start in the majors, Adon looked nervous, uncorking two wild pitches and plunking Starling Marte in addition to his free passes. Adon threw only 47 of 86 pitches for strikes but he probably wishes he'd gotten one less pitch over the plate, as Pete Alonso drove a fifth-inning fastball down the line for a grand slam. The Nationals don't have much in the way of rotation depth right now, so expect Adon to get more chances to show he belongs in the bigs. The right-hander at least gets a more favorable matchup on paper in his next scheduled start Thursday, on the road in Pittsburgh.

Earns rotation spot Adon has secured a spot in the Nationals' Opening Day rotation, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact Adon made his major-league debut in the final game of last season, allowing two runs on six hits in 5.1 frames against the Red Sox while striking out nine and walking three. Prior to that, he'd only made three starts at Double-A and one at Triple-A, so he doesn't have much experience facing high-level hitters. He doesn't come with a ton of prospect pedigree, but the Nationals clearly like what they see in the 23-year-old given how quickly he's ascended through the levels.

In mix for rotation spot Manager Dave Martinez said Saturday that Adon is in the mix for a spot in the Nationals' starting rotation since Erick Fedde's (oblique) status for the start of the season is in qu...
Impact Fedde recently underwent an MRI that didn't reveal anything too concerning, but he doesn't want to rush back to the mound if he isn't fully healthy for the start of the regular season. Adon was effective in his first Grapefruit League start of the spring, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out nine in 5.1 innings. He'll make another start Saturday against Miami, but his role to begin the regular season is mainly dependent on Fedde's health as spring training draws to a close.

Solid in first start Adon allowed two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out nine over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus Boston on Sunday.
Impact The 23-year-old gave up a few too many baserunners, but he left the game in line for the win before Washington's bullpen gave up the lead. Adon logged a 4.97 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 122:40 K:BB across 105 innings across three different levels of the minors, although 17 of his 21 starts came at High-A Wilmington. He'll likely need more time at Triple-A Rochester to begin 2022, barring a standout performance in spring training.

Called up for start The Nationals recalled Adon from Triple-A Rochester ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Red Sox in Washington.
Impact While making his MLB debut Sunday, Adon will be looking to play spoiler against the Red Sox, who can secure a wild-card spot with a victory over Washington. Adon arrives in Washington having little high-level experience in the minors, as he made just one four-inning start at Triple-A before receiving his first big-league call-up. The 23-year-old righty will most likely have a short leash Sunday.

Draws first big-league start Adon will be promoted from Triple-A Rochester to start Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact Adon has pitched at three levels of the minor leagues this season. He spent the majority of the campaign with High-A Wilmington, where he managed a 4.97 ERA with 91 strikeouts across 87 frames. Despite throwing only 18 innings between Double and Triple-A, he'll make his major-league debut in a game that could have implications on the American League playoff picture. Most recently, Adon threw four scoreless innings while striking out seven and walking three in his only start with Triple-A Rochester.

Sent to Triple-A The Nationals optioned Adon to Triple-A Rochester on Sunday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.
Impact Adon was one of three Nationals players optioned to the minors and one of 20 cut from big-league camp Sunday. Though Washington protected Adon from the Rule 5 draft by adding him to the 40-man roster in November, he's unlikely to be a factor for the big club in 2021.
