Adell will start in left field and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
With Mike Trout overcoming a hand injury just over a week ago and Brandon Marsh moving past a brief bout with a stomach illness, Adell has transitioned into a short-side platoon/fourth outfielder role for the Angels. Though he'll crack the lineup Sunday against left-hander Dallas Keuchel, the righty-hitting Adell is starting for only the second time in six games.

Adell went 1-for-3 with a grand slam in a 7-6 win Sunday over Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
Adell capped off a six-run first inning with a grand slam. The 23-year-old has now hit safely in five straight and eight of his last nine. Most notably, Sunday was the first time all season where he did not strike out in the game, lowering his strikeout rate to 42 percent. The outfielder has displayed his power stroke in the early going with six extra-base hits and a .490 SLG.

Adell will start in left field and will bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Adell initially appeared set to sit against a right-handed starting pitcher (Chris Ellis) for the second day in a row, but he'll draw into the lineup for Brandon Marsh, who was scratched due to a stomach illness. Assuming the lefty-hitting Marsh's ailment proves to be a day-to-day concern, he'll move back into a strong-side platoon role in left field during the upcoming week, while the righty-hitting Adell sees most of his starts against southpaws.

Adell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adell saw his streak of seven consecutive starts come to an end in Saturday's 5-4 loss, and the righty-hitting 23-year-old will continue to sit in favor of the lefty-hitting Brandon Marsh while the Orioles bring another right-hander (Chris Ellis) to the hill for the series finale. Now that Mike Trout is healthy again after missing three straight games with a hand injury, Adell looks like he'll have to settle for the short side of a platoon in the outfield with Marsh.

Adell went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old outfielder continues to put his shaky start to the season behind him. Adell has hit safely in six of the last seven games, slashing .286/.310/.464 over that stretch with two doubles and a homer. His 37.9 percent strikeout rate in that time remains troubling, however, and Adell will need to learn to make more consistent contact if he's ever going to come close to being the player his minor-league performances suggested.

Adell went 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI in a 7-2 win Tuesday over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Adell doubled in the second, drove in a run with a single in the fourth and added another single in the seventh. The former top prospect is 9-for-30 over his last eight games with five extra-base hits. He struck out twice on Tuesday and has a 47.5 percent strikeout rate in his first 40 plate appearances on the season and only one walk.

Adell went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-6 victory versus Texas.
EDGE Analysis
Adell gave the Angels a two-run lead in the second inning with his 447-foot solo smash to left field. The long ball was his fourth hit, each of which has gone for extra bases (two doubles, two homers). However, Adell has struggled to make contact early on this season, striking out at least once in every game in which he has played and fanning 12 times overall in just 21 plate appearances. He has yet to work a walk.

Adell isn't starting Thursday's game against the Rangers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adell drew starts in each of the last three games and went 2-for-10 with a homer, a double, two RBI and four strikeouts. Brandon Marsh will start in left field while Jose Rojas takes over in right.

Adell went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, double and an additional RBI in Monday's 8-2 victory over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Adell made the most of a surprise start due to a late Mike Trout scratch and delivered with his best line of the young season by far. He took opposing starter Elieser Hernandez 430-feet deep to center in the second inning and later tacked on an RBI double in the eighth for his first hits this year. Adell should continue to see a part-time role until he finally delivers on his lofty potential.

Adell was added to the lineup for Monday's game against Miami, batting seventh and playing left field, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adell had been set to sit for the third time in five games, but he'll be back in the lineup after Mike Trout was scratched for undisclosed reasons. Brandon Marsh slides to Trout's spot in center field, leaving left open for Adell.
