Adell has been out of the lineup for Double-A Mobile with a jammed right thumb, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adell has only appeared in two Double-A games since earning a promotion on July 30. The injury is not reported to be a serious one and he is expected to return to action soon.

Adell went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and three runs Tuesday in his debut for Double-A Mobile. He also reached base when he was hit by a pitch.
EDGE Analysis
Adell skipped out on short-season ball and debuted at Low-A Burlington following spring training, appearing in just 25 games in the Midwest League before being moved up to High-A Inland Empire. After some initial struggles in the California League, Adell demonstrated a swift learning curve and ultimately slashed .290/.345/.546 at the level to earn another promotion. Adell is off to an auspicious start with his new team and has now amassed 49 extra-base hits -- including 19 home runs -- between his three stops. The outfielder has cemented himself as the Angels' consensus top prospect during his dominant campaign and looks poised to enter 2019 as a top-10 prospect in all of baseball.

Adell was promoted to Double-A Mobile on Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic Los Angeles reports.
EDGE Analysis
Since being drafted 10th overall in 2017, Adell has hit the ball hard at every stop. He'll head to his third level of the season after hitting .290/.345/.546 with 12 homers and nine steals in 57 games for High-A Inland Empire. The promotion keeps him on track for a possible big-league debut at some point in 2019, where he could showcase power, contact and speed while playing a solid center field (though the presence of a certain Mike Trout in Anaheim will likely force him to play an outfield corner).

Adell went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and two runs Sunday for High-A Inland Empire in its 7-2 victory over Lancaster.
EDGE Analysis
Few hitters in the minors have been running as hot lately as Adell, who has turned in four multi-hit outings in his last six games and is slashing .379/.413/.678 overall in June. Despite a slow start after earning a promotion to Inland Empire in late May, the 2017 first-round pick's June surge has lifted him to a .972 OPS through his first 25 games in the California League

Adell went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI for High-A Inland Empire in its 3-1 victory over Rancho Cucamonga on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Sunday's performance followed a four-hit effort Saturday, giving Adell five games with at least three hits since June 8. Over the past 10 days, he has gone a remarkable 21-for-42 at the dish to prop his average up to .311 over 112 plate appearances in the California League. Adell isn't merely riding a .368 BABIP to the high average, as nearly half (16) of his 33 hits for Inland Empire have gone for extra bases.

Adell went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI for High-A Inland Empire in its 4-3 loss to Lancaster on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Adell is riding a nine-game hit streak, with the young slugger collecting multiple base knocks in five of those contests. The 19-year-old is still reaching base at just a .305 clip since earning a promotion to the California League in late May, but dynasty owners should at least be heartened that his plus power (six home runs, 13 extra-base hits in 95 plate appearances) and plus speed (five steals in five attempts) have remained on display.

Adell was promoted to High-A Inland Empire on Tuesday, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adell was rewarded with a promotion after hitting his sixth home run of the season Sunday. The 19-year-old outfielder is currently listed as the Angels' No. 2 minor-league prospect. He'll look to continue his success at the next level, although he has a ways to go until he surfaces in the major leagues.

Adell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk for Low-A Burlington in its 2-1 loss to Wisconsin.
EDGE Analysis
That's the fifth home run in six games for Adell, who has shaken off a thumb injury that sidelined him for about two weeks earlier this season to resurface as the offensive centerpiece for Burlington. The 18-year-old maintains a .326/.398/.611 line through 108 plate appearances and has done well to cut down on the strikeouts of late, whiffing just four times in his last eight contests.

Adell was placed on the 7-day disabled list at Low-A Burlington on Tuesday due to a thumb injury, John Bohnenkamp of The Burlington Hawk Eye reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adell suffered the thumb injury in Monday's game, but the extent of the setback isn't fully known. Through his first 13 contests in the Midwest League, Adell slashed .283/.382/.457 with five extra-base hits and three stolen bases across 55 plate appearances.

Adell is 3-for-9 with a 4:4 K:BB and one stolen base through three games with Low-A Burlington.
EDGE Analysis
He has logged one hit in each of his games thus far, with one of those being a triple. Though he has not yet homered, this is a very impressive start to the season for Adell, as he is walking at a very impressive clip, which has offset his high strikeout rate.
