Adams did not play Wednesday against the Phillies due to a hip flexor injury, Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was originally thought that Adams was dealing with back spasms, but the first baseman confirmed that he twisted his hip during his fall over the railing Tuesday. Adams is hoping to be available in the next few days; for now, he should be considered day-to-day.

Manager Davey Martinez said Adams (back) is sore but might be available to pinch hit Wednesday against the Phillies, Byron Kerr of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adams exited Tuesday's loss to Philadelphia with back spasms after tumbling over the railing going for a foul ball in the first inning. The injury doesn't appear to be anything overly serious, though the Nationals will likely wait and see how Adams feels closer to first pitch before determining his availability for Wednesday's series finale.

Adams exited Tuesday's game against the Phillies with back spasms, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adams fell over the railing going after a foul ball during the first inning and apparently didn't escape the incident unscathed. Ryan Zimmerman entered the game at first base while Adams should be considered day-to-day.

Adams got the start at DH in Monday's exhibition game against the Yankees, going 1-for-4 with a solo home run.

EDGE Analysis

It's Adams' sixth homer of the spring, sending him into the regular season with a .280/.308/.720 slash line. In fact, an impressive 10 of his 14 hits have gone for extra bases (he also has four doubles). The 30-year-old will primarily be used as a bench bat and DH in interleague play this season while spelling Ryan Zimmerman at first base, but if Zimmerman has trouble staying healthy again, Adams would become a priority pickup in most fantasy formats.

Adams went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's spring game against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Adams smacked a double to center field in the first inning to plate a run, and he left the yard in the fourth for his third home run of camp. The 30-year-old is now 8-for-31 with seven RBI and six runs scored midway through March.

Adams went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Hitting third in a lineup lacking in star power, the veteran first baseman went back-to-back with minor leaguer Jake Noll in the first inning off Michael Wacha. Adams is hitting only .238 to begin the spring, but three of his five hits (a double and two homers) have gone for extra bases. He's expected to spell Ryan Zimmerman at first base this season and serve as the Nats' primary DH in American League parks, a role that could offer a significant amount of playing time if Zimmerman once again has trouble staying healthy.

Adams went 2-for-3 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Thursday's game against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Adams belted his first home run of camp in the second inning, a solo blast to right field. He also plated a run in the third on a sacrifice fly. The 30-year-old first baseman is now 3-for-10 with four RBI this spring.

Adams signed with the Nationals on Saturday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adams spent the first part of last season in Washington, hitting .257/.332/.510 in 94 games. That line was good for a 123 wRC+, a number which would have been his highest since 2013 had his season ended at that point. A very poor showing after being flipped to St. Louis hurt his final numbers, but he has a good fit with the Nationals and could be poised to succeed again. He forms a natural platoon with Ryan Zimmerman at first base, neutralizing the effect of his career .596 OPS against lefties and allowing him to post decent numbers in a part-time role.

Adams went 2-for-4 with a walk in a win over the Pirates on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran has been solid at the plate over the last several games, going 5-for-16 with three home runs and seven RBI over his last four starts. Adams has been drawing starts as part of the domino effect of Jedd Gyorko's absence due to a groin injury, but the latter's return later this week is expected to bring Matt Carpenter back to first base and send Adams back to a reserve role in the process.

Adams is out of the lineup Sunday against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Adams will move to the bench after three straight starts with Matt Carpenter moving over from the left side of the infield to his normal post at first base. The Cardinals are still unsettled at third base with Jedd Gyorko (groin) on the disabled list, so Adams should benefit from at least a part-time role until the team reclaims health at the hot corner.
