MATT ADAMS NEWS

Retiring from baseball Adams announced his retirement from baseball Sunday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Adams will sign a one-day contract Wednesday with St. Louis, where he began his career and played seven of his 10 major-league seasons. The 36-year-old last played in the big leagues in 2021 and finishes with a career .769 OPS with 118 home runs.

Let go by Rockies Adams was released by the Rockies on Tuesday.

Impact Adams has played just 22 major-league games this season, as he failed to make the Opening Day roster and made trips to the injured list for both shin and elbow issues. He did very little during his limited opportunities to suggest he deserved to stick around, as he hit just .167/.250/.194. The interest on the open market for a 32-year-old bat-only player who owns a .513 OPS over the last two seasons is likely to be muted.

Reinstated Saturday Adams (elbow) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to Saturday's game against the Padres.

Impact Adams has been out since early June with a right elbow strain. He was reported to be nearing a rehab assignment, but the club will instead bring him back on the 26-man roster without a trip to the minors. Adams should continue serving primarily as a pinch hitter while also occasionally spelling C.J. Cron at first base.

Nearing rehab assignment Adams (elbow) appears to be close to beginning a minor-league rehab assignment, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Rockies are still mapping out the particulars of Adams' assignment, but his return to game action looks imminent. The 32-year-old has been on the shelf since June 9 with a right elbow strain. Once the Rockies deem Adams ready to return from the 10-day injured list, he'll likely be limited to bench role.
