Adams (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Adams was able to pinch hit again Saturday, so it appears that he is feeling well enough to hit, but is perhaps still not mobile enough to play the field just yet. The Braves are off Monday, so Adams will be given an extra day of rest before hopefully feeling up to speed prior to Tuesday's tilt against the Nationals. With Matt Kemp (hamstring) still out of the lineup, Jace Peterson draws the start in left field.

Adams (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Adams was able to make a pinch-hit appearance Thursday, but it seems he's still lacking the mobility necessary to play the field. With Matt Kemp also nursing a hamstring injury, Jace Peterson will get the start in left field Saturday. The season numbers for Adams still look strong, but the lack of playing time lately (even when healthy) has severely diminished his appeal in mixed leagues.

Adams is not in the lineup against the Mets on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Adams is out of the lineup for the fourth straight game while recovering from a hamstring injury. The 29-year-old was able to come into Thursday's contest as a pinch hitter, but continues to remain on the bench as Braves manager Brian Snitker wants to make sure he's near 100 percent before thrusting him back into the starting nine.

Adams (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Adams will miss a third straight contest as he continues to nurse a hamstring ailment that cropped up over the weekend. The injury wasn't thought to be anything overly serious, but his status for Friday's series opener against the Mets remains up in the air. In the meantime, Freddie Freeman will continue starting everyday at first base.

Adams (hamstring) is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
He left Sunday's game with right hamstring tightness, but apparently Monday's day off was not enough time for him to get right. There's also the fact that Adams isn't the clear starter at any spot, serving as a super sub capable of playing first and left field. Consider him day-to-day.

The Braves hope Adams (hamstring) will return Tuesday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adams left Sunday's contest with tightness in his right hamstring, but the club has expressed confidence that it won't keep him out longer than Tuesday, after their Monday breather. Though his playing time has wavered, Adams helped power the Braves when Freddie Freeman was on the disabled list, and he's put together an altogether solid year (.272/.315/.529, 20 homers and 63 RBI in 349 plate appearances).

Adams exited Sunday's game against the Marlins early with an apparent right hamstring injury, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adams appeared to injure his hamstring while legging out a double in the fifth inning. He was removed from the game following the two-bagger and will likely undergo testing in the coming hours, at which point we'll have a more clear picture with regards to the nature of his injury.

Adams hit a two-run homer as a pinch-hitter Saturday against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Adams hit his 19th homer in the bottom of the ninth inning to bring the Braves within one run in a game they'd go on to lose. Despite an excellent .526 slugging percentage, his lack of regular playing time makes it difficult to use him in weekly fantasy lineups.

Adams hit a pinch three-run homer Saturday against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Adams hit his 18th homer in the ninth inning, but the game was already out of hand as the Braves fell to the Reds. After not leaving the yard since July 23, he's now homered in back-to-back contests, and he boasts a very strong .527 slugging percentage.
