Adam earned a hold against the Rangers on Sunday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter in one scoreless inning.

EDGE Analysis

Adam was summoned from the bullpen with San Diego nursing a two-run lead in the seventh inning and got the job done, working around a two-out single to record a scoreless frame. The right-hander was credited with his 20th hold of the season -- third-most in the majors behind Abner Uribe (25) and Bryan Abreu (22). Adam was named to his first All-Star Game on Sunday as a reward for a dominant campaign during which he's posted a 1.61 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 52:19 K:BB over 44.2 innings spanning 44 appearances.

Adam struck out one batter in a perfect inning to notch a hold against Atlanta on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Adam needed just 10 pitches (seven of which were strikes) to set the side down in order in the eighth inning. He posted the clean frame against the heart of Atlanta's order, striking out Ronald Acuna before getting Drake Baldwin and Marcell Ozuna to ground out. Adam is in the midst of an excellent campaign -- he's tied for the league lead with 13 holds while posting a 1.40 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 29:12 K:BB through 25.2 innings.

Adam earned a hold against the Athletics on Wednesday, issuing one walk and striking out two batters over one scoreless inning.

EDGE Analysis

Adam was called upon in eighth inning of a tight 2-1 game. The right-hander successfully protected San Diego's lead, working around a two-out walk and subsequent stolen base by fanning Brent Rooker to close out the frame. Adam has been very impressive to begin the campaign, posting an 11:4 K:BB over 7.1 scoreless innings. He leads the majors with five holds.

Through six Cactus League appearances, Adam has allowed five runs on four hits over five innings while posting a 4:1 K:BB.

EDGE Analysis

Adam's spring stats don't look great on paper, though three of the five runs he's allowed came on one swing -- a Joey Wiemer homer March 13. Adam was outstanding last season, posting a 1.95 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, 31 holds, four saves and an 81:23 K:BB over 72.3 regular-season innings between Tampa Bay and San Diego. Adam is slated to set up closer Robert Suarez again this season, so he should get plenty of opportunities for holds. Suarez has had a rough spring, allowing eight runs over 3.2 frames, but he likely has a long enough leash to be in no danger of yielding the ninth-inning role come Opening Day. However, should Suarez's struggles carry over into the regular season, Adam and Jeremiah Estrada would be the top options to take over in save situations.

Adam agreed to a one-year, $4.8 million contract with the Padres on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After arriving in San Diego from Tampa Bay at last season's trade deadline, Adam dominated to the tune of a 1.01 ERA and 0.79 WHIP over 26.2 innings. As a result, he's been rewarded with a $2.1 million raise and will likely continue to work as a setup man for closer Robert Suarez.

The Padres acquired Adam from the Rays on Sunday in exchange for right-hander Dylan Lesko, outfielder Homer Bush and catcher J.D. Gonzalez, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adam had shined in a high-leverage role out of the Tampa Bay bullpen this season, logging a 2.49 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 50:16 K:BB across 47 innings while recording four saves and 19 holds. With the Rays, Adam appeared to be next in line for saves behind closer Pete Fairbanks, and he'll likely find himself in a similar spot in the bullpen hierarchy in San Diego. The Padres have leaned on Robert Suarez as their primary closer this season, and he's done nothing to lose job security while rolling to a 1.51 ERA and 23 saves in 26 chances this season.

Adam (4-2) allowed four earned runs (two earned) on two walks and two hits while striking out one to take the loss Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Adam entered the game in the eighth inning with the score tied at 2-2. He retired two of the first three batters he faced but let the next three hitters reach, all of whom came around to score on a pair of fielding miscues by the Rays. Adam has allowed five earned runs across his last three innings, but he still has an excellent 2.54 ERA and 0.91 WHIP across 46 frames on the campaign.

Adam earned a save against the Guardians on Friday, striking out the side in a perfect ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

With Rays closer Pete Fairbanks having thrown 28 pitches Thursday, Adam was summoned to protect a 2-0 lead in the ninth inning. He struck out the side on 14 pitches and earned his fourth save of the year to along with 17 holds. On the season, the righty owns a 1.71 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 42:14 K:BB over 42 innings.

Adam (4-1) didn't allow a baserunner and struck out one to earn the win Wednesday against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Adam entered the game in the ninth inning with the score tied 2-2 and turned in his eighth scoreless performance in his last 10 appearances. He has a 9:1 K:BB in that span, though he has allowed three earned runs. While Pete Fairbanks (thumb) isn't expected to be sidelined long, Adam could get a short-term look in save scenarios.

Adam allowed one hit and struck out two across a scoreless eighth inning Tuesday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Adam began the season effectively but had an elevated walk rate after issuing 11 free passes across his first 23 innings. However, in his last five appearances, he's maintained a 6:0 K:BB while allowing only one earned run. Overall, Adam leads the team with 11 holds and has also chipped in three saves.
