Adams was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a broken finger, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adams was hit by a pitch in his left index finger Friday. He'll now likely be out at least a few weeks, though an exact recovery timeline has not yet been made clear. Wilmer Difo should continue to get regular playing time at second base, with Daniel Murphy continuing to play first base, though Mark Reynolds is also an option at first.

Adams (finger) is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Adams will remain on the bench for a third straight game as he continues to nurse a finger injury that he picked up after taking a pitch off his left index finger Friday. Mark Reynolds will start at first base and hit sixth in his stead. Adams should be considered day-to-day.

Adams (finger) will be a game-time decision Monday against the Yankees, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adams is due to bat third in the first game of Monday's twin bill, but the Nationals will wait and see how he feels closer to game time before determining his availability. The first baseman hasn't played since suffering a finger injury Friday.

Adams was seen in the clubhouse without a splint on his injured finger Sunday, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
He left Friday's game after taking a pitch off his left index finger, and hasn't played since. While the Nats haven't given an indication when Adams would return, they will essentially need two lineups Monday against the Yankees -- one to complete the suspended game from May 15, and then one for the full game scheduled for a 7:05 ET start time -- so the team has to hope that the first baseman will be ready to go for at least one of those games after getting a couple of days to mend.

Adams (hand), who is not in Sunday's lineup, remains "day-to-day" according to manager Dave Martinez, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adams was lifted from Friday's game due to an unspecified hand injury, and hasn't seen the starting lineup since. Though initial X-rays came back clean, the team intends to send Adams for another set after the swelling in his hands subsides. In the meantime, Daniel Murphy will draw his second consecutive start at first base in the series finale.

Manager Dave Martinez said Adams' (hand) X-ray results "didn't really show much," Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adams exited Friday's game with the injury and is likely to undergo another X-ray on Monday once the swelling in his hand subsides. Daniel Murphy gets the start at first base Saturday with Mark Reynolds another option to start with Adams seemingly sidelined through Monday.

Adams was removed from Friday's game in the third innings with an apparent hand injury, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

Adams went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Wednesday's win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
His bat has been cooling down, as Adams was just 4-for-20 over his prior nine games coming into Wednesday, but his slash line on the season still stands at .276/.353/.579. Ryan Zimmerman (back) doesn't yet have a timetable for his return, so Adams will continue splitting time at first base with Mark Reynolds for the Nats, although this weekend's series in Toronto could give both players an opportunity to slot into the lineup at the same time with the DH available.

Adams is not starting Tuesday against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
The recent returns of Adam Eaton and Daniel Murphy mean fewer at-bats to go around in the Nationals' lineup, though Adams likely would have sat against the left-handed C.C. Sabathia regardless of who else was on the roster. Mark Reynolds will get the start at first base.
