EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old is currently on a power surge, as he's belted four homers in his last eight games. He's only hitting .244 but his ISO is nearly .300, as he has 21 extra-base hits, including 13 home runs in only 160 at-bats. Adams also has 36 RBI and 25 runs this year.

Adams is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Adams has been on a tear of late, hitting six home runs in his last 10 games, but he will be held out Friday against southpaw Daniel Norris. Adams has played regularly at first base since late May, but his playing time figures to be affected in some fashion with fellow first baseman Ryan Zimmerman coming off the injured list Friday.

Adams went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run during Thursday's 8-5 win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Adams pulled his side back from an early deficit with a three-run home run to right field in the sixth inning. His home run was the third over the last four starts and his second in as many days. Adams now owns a .820 OPS to go along with 12 homers in limited playing time this season and should continue to see semi-regular at-bats for as long as he keeps it up.

Adams went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run Wednesday against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Adams took Wei-Yin Chen deep in the sixth inning to put the Nationals up 4-1. It was his 11th home run of the season and second against a southpaw. Adams has been on a power binge of late, recording five home runs in his past nine starts. Despite the strong stretch, Adams could see a significant hit in playing time with the return of Ryan Zimmerman (foot) who may return as soon as this weekend.

Adams went 2-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run in Saturday's 13-9 loss to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran slugger now has 10 homers on the year, including four in his last six games. Adams' .254/.288/.529 slash line on the season isn't outstanding, but he's forming an effective platoon at first base with Howie Kendrick while Ryan Zimmerman (foot) remains sidelined.

Adams went 2-for-5 with a pair of home runs and seven RBI in Sunday's 15-5 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
The seven RBI were a career high for Adams, who did his damage on a three-run blast off Zack Godley in the third inning and a grand slam off Stefan Crichton in the eighth. Adams, who also homered in Saturday's loss, is expected to continue occupying the large side of a platoon at first base now that his recent bouts with an oblique injury and back spasms are behind him. The Nationals are tentatively slated to face four right-handed starting pitchers in their series with the Phillies that begins Monday, so Adams could be a quality option in many weekly fantasy formats.

Adams went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in a 10-3 loss to the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Adams has been out of the lineup for a few days with back spasms, not an oblique strain as originally reported, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adams has been out of the lineup since leaving Monday's game with what had been termed a strained left oblique. Regardless of the nature of the injury, he's back in action for Saturday's game against Arizona.
