Adell is starting in left field and hitting fifth Sunday against the Astros, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adell sat both Friday and Saturday in favor of Brandon Marsh and Jose Rojas. He'll return to the lineup Sunday, with Marsh being the odd-man out. As it currently stands, Mike Trout is the only everyday outfielder in Los Angeles, with Marsh, Adell and Rojas competing for time at the corner spots.

Adell is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Early indications seem to be that Adell is stuck in a platoon role for now. He started in left field on Opening Day against lefty Framber Valdez but has been on the bench against righties Jake Odorizzi and Justin Verlander. Brandon Marsh starts in left field Saturday, with Jose Rojas in right. That's the second straight start for Rojas, who appears to be taking the at-bats that were previously ticketed for Taylor Ward (groin).

Angels manager Joe Maddon indicated Thursday that Taylor Ward (groin) was slated to be the team's everyday right fielder before his injury while Adell and Brandon Marsh were expected to platoon in left, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maddon had previously said that all three of the trio of outfielders were targeted for 450 to 500 at-bats over the course of the season, but his statement Thursday suggests that Ward was likely to see more playing time than his young counterparts. Ward's injury threw a wrench into the stated plan before the regular season kicked off, and it remains to be seen if Maddon will stick to the scenario upon Ward's return. It's notable that Adell was held out of the starting lineup Friday in just the second game of the regular season while Marsh started in left field and Jose Rojas took over in right. Adell and/or Marsh could potentially cement an everyday role with a strong start to the campaign, but Adell has struggled mightily out of the gate, going 0-for-5 with five strikeouts so far.

Angels managers Joe Maddon said Saturday that he wants to get each of Adell, Brandon Marsh and Taylor Ward 450 to 500 at-bats this season, Scott Bordow of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adell is penciled into a starting role in right field for the Angels, with Marsh expected to be the team's starter in left. Ward is also expected to see plenty of time in the outfield, so none of the trio of players will necessarily take on a truly everyday workload. However, the organization's decision Saturday to DFA Justin Upton opens up more playing time for all three. Adell has enjoyed a strong spring, slashing .273/.306/.636 with three home runs, eight RBI and three stolen bases over 36 plate appearances.

Adell (abdomen) will bat cleanup and play right field Friday against Oakland, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adell missed the tail end of last season with an abdominal injury, but the issue won't carry over into this year. Still just 22 years old, Adell retains plenty of upside. His .246/.295/.408 slash line in 140 trips to the plate last season was unconvincing, but he at least cut his strikeout rate from an ugly 41.7 percent in a similar sample size the year prior down to 22.9 percent.

Adell (abdomen) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Adell's move to the 60-day IL is procedural since the outfielder was ruled out for the remainder of the season in mid-September. The 22-year-old appeared in 35 games after he was called up, and he slashed .246/.295/.408 with four home runs, 26 RBI, 17 runs and two stolen bases.

Manager Joe Maddon said Wednesday he doesn't anticipate Adell (abdomen) returning from the injured list before the end of the season, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 22-year-old landed on the shelf earlier in the day with the left abdominal strain he suffered in a collision with the outfield wall Saturday, and he's apparently experiencing issues rotating and swinging a bat. Given there's less than three weeks left in the regular season, it's not a major surprise Adell isn't expected back given his current limitations. He hasn't been officially ruled out but is likely to finish 2021 with his current .246/.295/.408 slash line, four homers, 26 RBI and 17 runs in 140 plate appearances.

The Angels placed Adell on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left abdominal strain.
EDGE Analysis
Adell was believed to be dealing with some back soreness after crashing into the outfield fence during a game Saturday in Houston, but it's now been diagnosed as an abdominal strain. He hasn't played in either of the Angels' last two games as a result, and with Adell not showing the desired improvement heading into Wednesday's contest against the White Sox, Los Angeles elected to deactivate him. Jose Rojas was called up from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move, and he and Juan Lagares could be the primary options in right field while Adell is on the shelf.
