Adams is starting in left field and hitting cleanup Saturday against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

His two home runs in five career at-bats versus Bronson Arroyo likely played a role in manager Mike Matheny's lineup construction. Adams can mash righties, and Arroyo is among the most hittable righties in the big leagues, so this is a prime opportunity to deploy the portly left-handed slugger in daily leagues.
