The Twins optioned Adams to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Adams has struggled since he was called up at the start of August, logging a 7.36 ERA and 12:9 K:BB over 11 innings. The right-hander has made two starts among his eight appearances in the majors this season and could join the rotation as he heads back to St. Paul.

Adams dropped to 1-2 on the season in Tuesday's 9-1 loss to the Yankees after striking out two batters and yielding four earned runs on four hits and four walks over 2.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

After striking out seven and allowing two earned runs in a five-inning start versus the Tigers on Aug. 4, Adams shifted to the bullpen for his next appearance. The Twins went back to Adams in a starting role Tuesday, but he was undone by the long ball early, serving up a solo shot to Aaron Judge in the first inning and a three-run blast to Anthony Volpe in the second. After allowing three of the first four hitters to reach base in the bottom of the third, Adams was mercifully pulled from the game. Minnesota will have another opening in its rotation this Sunday against the Tigers, but it's unclear if Adams will be the team's choice to start or work in bulk relief that day. Thomas Hatch worked in long relief behind Adams on Tuesday and could also be a candidate to handle multiple innings Sunday.

Adams did not factor into the decision in Monday's 6-3 loss at Detroit, conceding two runs on four hits and no walks over five innings. He struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

The Minnesota rookie fared well in his first career start after logging four relief appearances this season. Adams generated an astounding 16 whiffs out his 63 total pitches against a Detroit squad that entered the contest ranked sixth in total runs scored. The lone blemish on the right-hander's performance was a two-run homer given up to Wenceel Perez in the fifth. Given this impressive outing, it's possible the Twins decide to give Adams more starts in the future. Across 17.1 total frames, the 25-year-old sports a 6.75 ERA, 3.63 FIP, 1.38 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB.

Adams will start Monday's game in Detroit, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

All four of Adams' appearances to this point at the major-league level have come in relief, but he has gone at least 3.1 innings in three of those outings, including during his last appearance July 27. While Adams may not be in line for a traditional start Monday, he's stretched out to provide anywhere from 3-to-4 innings before turning the game over to the bullpen.

EDGE Analysis

Adams made his MLB debut earlier this season, pitching in four games out of the bullpen for the Twins. He registered an 8.03 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 9:3 K:BB across 12.1 innings of work. Adams will help fill the void in Minnesota's bullpen following the trade deadline.

Adams (1-1) took the loss Sunday against Washington, allowing five runs on five hits and two walks over 3.1 innings. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Adams ate some innings for the Twins during a bullpen game, throwing 83 pitches despite being lit up. The outing marked Adams' fourth of the 2025 campaign, and his second allowing five runs. Overall, Adams has an 8.03 ERA in 12.1 innings. With Bailey Ober (hip) set to return from the injured list soon, Adams' stay in the big leagues could be coming to an end.

EDGE Analysis

Adams is taking the roster spot vacated by David Festa (shoulder), who was placed on the 15-day injured list. The right-hander could slide into Festa's rotation spot this weekend versus the Nationals if he's not needed in relief before then. Bailey Ober (hip) is likely to return from the IL next week, so Adams could be in line for just one start if he enters the rotation. Adams has struggled in three relief outings with the big club this season, yielding seven runs (six earned) with a 6:1 K:BB over nine innings.

The Twins optioned Adams to Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

With Zebby Matthews (shoulder) returning from the injured list to start Saturday, Adams will be pushed back to the minors to create roster space.
