Adell was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake ahead of Monday's game against Texas.

EDGE Analysis

Adell is in line to see his first major-league action of the season after hitting .289 with 23 homers, 69 RBI and eight stolen bases through 311 at-bats with Salt Lake. He figures to see plenty of action in center field until Mike Trout is cleared to return.

Adell has played the last three games in center field for Triple-A Salt Lake, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bollinger speculated that this might be to facilitate a quicker promotion to the majors for Adell, to replace Juan Lagares in center field. Adell is hitting .273/.323/.711 with 15 homers for Salt Lake, albeit with 39 strikeouts in 130 plate appearances.

Adell has hit six home runs in his past five games with Triple-A Salt Lake and is up to 10 total long balls in 17 contests this season.

EDGE Analysis

Adell has continued to experience strikeout issues -- he has whiffed in over one-third of his at-bats -- but he's also shown off his prodigious power with Triple-A Salt Lake. The Angels are in last place in the AL West and recently lost superstar outfielder Mike Trout (calf) for an extended period, so it wouldn't be surprising if Adell made his way back to the big leagues before long.

The Angels have no immediate plans to call up Adell or Brandon Marsh from Triple-A Salt Lake after Mike Trout was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a calf strain that will likely keep him sidelined for 6-to-8 weeks, Daniel Guerrero of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marsh is the top prospect in the Angels' farm system, while the 22-year-old Adell has graduated from prospect status but is still regarded as one of the organization's top young assets. Adell floundered in his first taste of the big leagues in 2020, and he has yet to return to peak form thus far during the young minor-league season. Through 12 games and 57 plate appearances at Triple-A, Adell is slashing .231/.298/.519 with an 8.8 percent walk rate and a 36.8 percent strikeout rate. Until Adell makes a compelling case for a call-up or until the Angels are willing to start Marsh's MLB service clock, Taylor Ward and Juan Lagares are expected to see most of the work in center field while Trout is out.

Adell went 2-for-5 with a pair of home runs and five RBI for Triple-A Salt Lake in its 10-9 win over Reno on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Adell has gotten off to a blazing start to the minor-league season, producing a .273/.333/.773 slash line with three home runs, one stolen base and a 2:8 BB:K in 24 plate appearances. After Adell endured a rough showing in his first taste of the big leagues in 2020, the Angels wanted the 22-year-old to regain some confidence at Triple-A, and that plan appears to be working well so far. Whenever the Angels feel Adell is ready for another look in the majors, he'll have an everyday role in right field waiting for him. The Angels are currently using Taylor Ward at the position, but he's batting just .150 and doesn't project as a regular at the big-league level.

Adell will play for Triple-A Salt Lake when the minor-league season gets underway, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

After struggling to a .161/.212/.266 slash line in 132 at-bats at the big-league level last season, the Angels determined Adell would be best off getting more minor-league seasoning before jumping back up to the majors. That opportunity will come at Triple-A, which is no surprise given that the 22-year-old played 27 games at that level in 2019. Adell is likely to spend time with the big club at some point this season.

Adell was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Adell spent most of the 2020 campaign on the major-league roster but slashed .161/.212/.266 with three home runs and seven RBI over 38 games while also struggling defensively. The 21-year-old posted a 1.072 OPS with two home runs and six RBI over 19 Cactus League at-bats this spring but will still require some time in the minors to begin the regular season. However, Adell is a strong candidate to return to the big-league roster in 2021 if he can produce at Triple-A Salt Lake.

The Angels list Adell (knee) as an available reserve player for Monday's Cactus League game against the Reds, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adell picked up a knee contusion over the weekend when he collided with the outfield wall, but his inclusion on the lineup card Monday implies that the injury isn't a concern for the young outfielder. The 21-year-old is expected to begin the season at Triple-A Salt Lake, but if he rakes right away against Pacific Coast League competition, he might not have to wait long to get another look with the Angels in an everyday role in the corner outfield.

Adell was diagnosed with a bruised knee after exiting Saturday's Cactus League game against the White Sox, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The young outfielder was fortunate to avoid a more serious injury after he collided with a wall while tracking a flyball. The Angels described his removal from Saturday's contest as precaution, and though he'll remain out of the lineup Sunday against the Cubs, Adell should be cleared to play within the next few days. He's slated to complete a light workout Sunday and is considered day-to-day.

Adell was removed from Saturday's spring game against the White Sox as a precautionary measure, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adell collided with the outfield wall during the second inning and remained in the field for the rest of the frame. However, he was removed from the game after the inning ended. The Angels didn't provide an injury diagnosis for Adell, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be forced to miss additional time.
