MATT ADAMS
Remains out Tuesday Adams isn't starting in Tuesday's game against the Nationals.
Move to IL official The Braves placed Adams (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.
Impact As expected, Adams will be sidelined for at least the next week and a half while he recovers from the left hamstring he strained in Tuesday's 10-1 win over the Blue Jays. Adams had been serving as the Braves' primary designated hitter this season, but Marcell Ozuna should now assume those duties, leaving Adam Duvall, Nick Markakis and Austin Riley to vie for time in the open corner-outfield spot.

Impact The 31-year-old exited Tuesday's contest after tweaking his left hamstring while running to first base, and it appears he'll require at least a short stay on the shelf. Adam Duvall is a likely candidate to see increased opportunities while Adams is sidelined.

Exits Tuesday's game Adams was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mets with left hamstring tightness.

Busy night in long relief Beeks was credited with a hold in a win over the Braves on Monday, recording seven strikeouts but also allowing four runs (three earned) on three hits and a wild pitch over three i...
Impact The left-hander kept things interesting during his rollercoaster of a multi-inning appearance. Beeks' outstanding swing-and-miss stuff was partly offset by a mistake pitch to Matt Adams, which the veteran laced 355 feet for a three-run home run in the sixth inning. Otherwise, the 27-year-old did fill his long-relief role well and has opened the season with a stellar 12:0 K:BB over five innings across two appearances.

Connects on first homer Adams went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 14-5 loss to the Rays.
Impact The veteran slugger took Jalen Beeks deep in the sixth inning for his first homer of the season, although Atlanta was already down 10-1 heading into the frame. Adams has gotten a surprising amount of playing time after being picked up by the team just before Opening Day, starting three of the first four games and going 3-for-13.

Makes impact in MLB debut Contreras laced an RBI double off Hunter Strickland in the 10th inning of Saturday's win over the Mets.
Impact After Matt Adams pinch hit for Alex Jackson in the eighth inning, the 22-year-old Contreras made his big-league debut behind the plate, and when he made his first trip to the plate two innings later, he made it count. Contreras remains Atlanta's catcher of the future, but his time in the majors this season will likely come to an end once Tyler Flowers and Travis d'Arnaud come off the COVID-19 list.
