Adam picked up the save in Sunday's 11-10 win over the Dodgers, allowing one walk while striking out two over two scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

Pete Fairbanks was slated to come in for the ninth after Adam pitched the eighth. However, Fairbanks suffered an injury while warming up, leaving it up to Adam to finish the game. It was an impressive performance from the 31-year-old Adam. He'd been struggling of late, pitching to a 13.50 ERA over his last five appearances (3.1 innings). For the season, Adam now sports a 3.22 ERA with a 1.12 WHIP and 30:8 K:BB across 22.1 innings while going 7-for-10 in save chances. If Fairbanks is forced to miss time, Adam would likely step back into the primary closing role for Tampa Bay.

Adam picked up the save in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Brewers. He struck out one over two-thirds of a scoreless inning.

EDGE Analysis

Adam got the save opportunity after Pete Fairbanks closed out Friday night's win. Adam didn't allow a single baserunner in his time on the mound. He stepped in for Trevor Kelly, who opened up the ninth and walked both Rowdy Tellez and Brian Anderson before being yanked. Through 21 appearances (19.2 innings) Adam holds a 2.75 ERA with a 25:6 K/BB.

Adam blew a save against the Mets on Wednesday, allowing three runs on one hit and one walk while striking out two batters over one inning.

EDGE Analysis

Adam got the call from the bullpen with the Rays up by three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning, but he couldn't get the job done. The right-hander put the first two batters he faced on base via a walk and hit-by-pitch, then retired the next two hitters before serving up a game-tying three-run homer to Francisco Alvarez. It was the second blown save over the past three outings for Adam, whose ERA shot up from 1.59 to 3.00 as a result of Wednesday's collapse. Co-closer Pete Fairbanks also blew a save with a poor appearance Wednesday, and the pair will likely continue sharing fireman duties moving forward.

Adam picked up the save Sunday with a clean ninth inning, sealing an 8-7 win over the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Adam blew his first save in his last outing against the Yankees on Friday but bounced back Sunday, setting down New York 1-2-3 to cap Tampa Bay's one-run victory. The 31-year-old Adam has been excellent this season, allowing just one earned run in his last 9.2 innings, lowering his ERA to 1.59 with a 1.00 WHIP and 20:5 K:BB through 17 innings this season. Pete Fairbanks (forearm) is expected to return on Tuesday for the Rays, though Adam has done his part to maintain a share of the ninth-inning job.

Adam (0-1) allowed one earned run on one hit across 0.2 innings to take the loss Friday against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Adam entered the game with a one-run lead and a runner on first base in the eighth inning. He served up a two-run home run to Anthony Rizzo -- the first batter he faced -- to take his first loss of the season. Adam had allowed two earned runs across 15.1 innings entering the contest, so this was a misstep among a larger track record of strong performances. He should continue to see plenty of save chances so long as Pete Fairbanks (forearm) is sidelined.

Adam picked up the save during Monday's 3-0 win over the Orioles, striking out the side over a scoreless ninth in which he allowed one hit and didn't walk a batter.

EDGE Analysis

With Pete Fairbanks (forearm) on the injured list, Adam continues to operate as the Rays' go-to closer. He's recorded four saves over his past five outings and holds a 10:1 K:BB during that stretch. Fairbanks has started to play catch again and is eligible to return May 16.

Adam picked up the save during Friday's 5-4 win over the Yankees, tossing a scoreless ninth in which he allowed one hit and zero walks while striking out one.

EDGE Analysis

With Pete Fairbanks (forearm) on the 15-injured list, Adam has drawn three saves chances over the past week and was able to secure the win in each of those games. The right-hander is now 3-for-4 in save opportunities and currently sports a 1.35 ERA, a 1.05 WHIP and a 17:5 K:BB across 14 outings (13.1 innings). As long as Fairbanks is sidelined, Adam will presumably be Tampa Bay's go-to closer.

Adam picked up the save Thursday against Pittsburgh. He allowed two runs (zero earned) on one hit and one walk while striking out three over one inning.

EDGE Analysis

Adam nearly blew his second save of the season Thursday, walking Tucupita Marcano after striking out Rodolfo Castro to start the ninth. Marcano advanced to second after an error by Taylor Walls on a fielder's choice hit by Bryan Reynolds left both runners safe. Both Reynolds and Marcano came around to score on a Carlos Santana bases-clearing double to right with two outs. However, Adam managed to stave off the Pirates' comeback efforts, striking out Connor Joe to end the game. Though Adam should continue to receive closer's work with Pete Fairbanks (finger) on the 15-day injured list, he could face competition if his struggles sustain.

Adam picked up the save in Tuesday's 4-1 victory over the Pirates. He allowed no runs on one hit while striking out three over one inning.

EDGE Analysis

Adam saw his first save chance of the season with Pete Fairbanks (finger) still unavailable. The 31-year-old Adam took advantage of the opportunity, striking out three Pirates to seal a 4-1 win. Adam is off to another strong start in his second season with Tampa Bay, pitching to a 1.59 ERA with a 0.97 WHIP and 13:1 K:BB through 11.1 innings. He'll likely be the Rays' preferred option in the ninth while Fairbanks is out.

Adam won his arbitration case Saturday against the Rays and will make $1.775 million in 2023, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The team filed at $1.55 million when arbitration figures were exchanged in November. Adam is still believed to be a candidate for a springtime contract extension. He registered a sparkling 1.56 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 75:17 K:BB over 63.1 regular-season innings for the Rays in 2022. He earned eight saves along the way and is expected to get even more opportunities at closer this year.
