Adams (foot) is expected to return to the field Friday or Saturday, Jorge Castillo of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adams suffered a foot blister that caused him to sit out Tuesday's Grapefruit League affair with Miami, but it appears as though he's nearing a return to action. The 29-year-old will likely serve as the backup first baseman to Ryan Zimmerman this season, while occasionally sprinkling in a start in left field.

Adams has been removed from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Jorge Castillo of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adams is expected to be the Nationals backup first baseman and occasional left fielder. He'll chip in with the occasional homer but is unlikely to play often enough to be a major fantasy factor. This injury is unlikely to affect his ability to be ready for Opening Day.

Adams will agree to a one-year, $4 million deal with Washington on Wednesday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adams will look to fill the void of Adam Lind as a backup first baseman and spare left fielder for the Nationals in 2018, following the Braves decision to non-tender him earlier this month. During the 2017 season split between St. Louis and Atlanta, Adams slashed .274/.319/.522 with 20 home runs and 65 RBI in 131 games. Although his strikeout rate was right at 24 percent, Adams could be an effective weapon against right-handers after holding an .896 OPS against them this past year, and will provide some added pop and an extra bat for Washington's bench. In addition to the deal, Adams will have the chance to earn up to $500,000 in performance bonuses.

The Braves declined to tender Adams a contract for 2018, David O'Brien of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adams made $2.8 million in 2017 in his second year of arbitration eligibility and likely would have been due a decent raise after slashing .274/.319/.52 with 20 homers. Paying that amount simply didn't make sense for a Braves team without a place to play him. Look for Adams to land a platoon job in 2018.

Adams is still dealing with a sore hamstring and is being limited to pinch-hitting duty for now, David O'Brien of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adams started Saturday for the first time in nearly two weeks, but his sore hamstring must not have approved, as he has come off the bench since. Adams was able to pinch hit in both ends of Monday's doubleheader, so he should be able to get in a few more at-bats before the season ends. He may not start again until 2018, however.

Adams (hamstring) is in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Adams has not started a game since Sept. 10, but he will do so Saturday at first base in place of Freddie Freeman. Adams will hit fifth against Phillies starter Henderson Alvarez.

Adams (hamstring) is not in the lineup against the Phillies on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Adams remains limited with a hamstring issue that has sidelined him for almost two weeks now. The 29-year-old has only been able to record two plate appearances, both coming as a pinch hitter, since suffering the setback Sept. 10.

Adams (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Adams' hamstring injury continues to linger, so he'll stick on the bench for another game as Lane Adams draws the start in left field. He's been able to make a couple of pinch hit appearances since injuring his hamstring Sept. 10, but it's still unclear when he'll be able to rejoin the starting nine.

Adams (hamstring) is not in the starting nine against the Nationals on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Adams remains out of the lineup with a nagging hamstring injury that has limited him to two at-bats since Sept. 10. Although he's been able to come in off the bench a few times since then, it appears that Adams is still a little time away from being back near 100 percent.

Adams (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Adams was able to pinch hit over the weekend, but he's apparently still not feeling healthy enough to return to the outfield. With him and Matt Kemp (hamstring) both out, Lane Adams will draw the start in left field.
