Adell went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI during a 10-9 win over the Astros in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie had his best overall performance yet in the majors. He robbed George Springer of a potential homer on the third pitch of the game, launched a solo shot to right field in the fourth, then poked a walkoff, two-run single down the first-base line in the seventh. After going 1-for-4 in the nightcap, Adell is still slashing only .180/.240/.303 with three homers, seven RBI and a 40.6 percent strikeout rate through his first 25 big-league games, but the 21-year-old is flashing the upside that makes him RotoWire's No. 4 overall fantasy prospect.

Adell is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adell has struggled significantly in his first 22 big-league games, hitting just .163/.230/.263, though the Angels, who sit second-last in the American League, have had little reason not to let him try to work through his struggles. Taylor Ward will spell him in right field Friday.

Adell went 2-for-3 with two home runs and three RBI in Saturday's 16-3 win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Eighteen games into his MLB career, Adell finally has his first two home runs, both of which came off left-handers (Justus Sheffield and Aaron Fletcher). The 21-year-old was held in high esteem for his raw power while climbing through the Angels' farm system, but he's thus far had difficulty translating his skills at the game's top level. A 41.1 percent strikeout rate has been the biggest culprit, saddling Adell with a .191/.247/.307 slash line through his first 73 MLB plate appearances.

Adell is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Adell has started seven out of 11 games since making his first career start back on Aug. 4. He's done very little at the plate thus far, grabbing just four hits in 24 at-bats and striking out 13 times. Brian Goodwin will start in right field in his absence.

Adell is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Athletics, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie outfielder has struggled through his first five big-league appearances, going 3-for-19 with one run scored and 11 strikeouts while also committing a four-base error. Adell missed Thursday's and Friday's contests with quadriceps soreness, but he was in the lineup the past three days and there's been no indication he aggravated the injury. Justin Upton and Brian Goodwin will start in left and right field Tuesday.

Adell went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in Sunday's loss to the Rangers. He also committed a four-base error that allowed a run to score.
EDGE Analysis
It's hard to imagine Adell ever having a worse day on the field, especially considering his immense talent. The rookie not only whiffed all four times he came to the plate, he also allowed a Nick Solak flyball to bounce off his glove and over the outfield wall in the fifth inning for a rare four-base error. Adell's career has gotten off to a slow start -- he has collected only two hits (both singles) while striking out nine times in 15 at-bats -- and he acknowledged Sunday that he hasn't quite adjusted to the demands of the big leagues yet, per Maria Torres of the Los Angeles Times. "I think I'm not there yet. I'm ready to get there. I'm on my way to getting there," Adell stated.

Adell (quad) is back in the lineup Saturday against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adell didn't appear in the past two games while he worked through quad tightness, but he'll return to the seventh spot in the lineup Saturday. Over his first two major-league games, Adell went 2-for-4 with one run and four strikeouts.
