The X-rays on Adams' foot Sunday afternoon were inconclusive, so he'll need to undergo another X-ray on Monday to determine the extent of the injury, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adams left Sunday's matchup against the Dodgers after being struck by a pitch in the foot, though there was too much swelling to evaluate the X-ray. He'll be considered day-to-day until the team releases more details on Adams' condition.

Adams was removed from Sunday's game against the Dodgers after being hit by a pitch in the foot, Jamal Collier of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adams remained in the game to run the bases but was thrown out at home plate attempting to score from first base on a double. The veteran first baseman was hit by a breaking ball, and the fact that he stuck in the active lineup may mean it's not a serious issue.

Adams went 1-for-5 with three strikeouts and a solo home run Thursday against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Adams had a tough afternoon, striking out swinging on three occasions. However, he salvaged some production by delivering a solo home run in the seventh inning, his 16th of the season. The all-or-nothing performance was a fair representation of Adams' profile at the plate this season, as he's struck out 32.1 percent of the time, yet has also posted a .282 ISO across 215 plate appearances.

Adams is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
It is not surprising to see the big first baseman get one of the two games off. He went 2-for-2 with two walks, a double and a run scored in the matinee. Howie Kendrick starts at first and hits fifth in the nightcap.

Adams will start at first base and bat fifth for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
With Ryan Zimmerman returning to the injured list earlier this week after his plantar fasciitis flared up again, Adams looks poised to fill the large side of a platoon at first base with Howie Kendrick for the foreseeable future. Adams will pick up a second straight start at the position after going 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run Tuesday.

Adams went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-3 win over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
His fourth-inning blast off Mike Soroka got the Nats on the board. Adams had homered twice in his last three starts, giving him 15 on the year, but his .235/.273/.519 slash line and sporadic playing time while splitting reps at first base with Ryan Zimmerman make him tough to roster outside of NL-only fantasy formats.

Adams went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's win over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Getting the start at first base while Ryan Zimmerman manned the DH spot in an AL park, Adams clubbed his second homer of July and 14th of the season. The veteran slugger's playing time has been inconsistent since Zimmerman's return from the IL, and Adams' .237/.277/.520 slash line on the year doesn't make a strong case for more action.

Adams is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Adams, who slugged a solo homer and drew a walk in Wednesday's 3-1 win, finds himself on the bench for the fourth time in six games and looks like he'll have to settle for a part-time role now that Ryan Zimmerman is back from the injured list. The lack of a clear path to playing time largely limits Adams' appeal to NL-only and deeper mixed leagues.
