22:12 pm: Kevin Acee van de San Diego Union Tribune Writes that Adam will undergo a seasonal operation if a follow-up MRI confirms the first diagnosis. The hope is that he can return some time around the beginning of the 2026 season.
9:42 pm: Padres Reliever Jason Adam has been diagnosed with a tendon break in his left quad, manager Mike Shildt tells reporters (including Dennis Lin of athletics). Shildt has not specified a recovery timeline or that an operation is required. It is hard to imagine that Adam will be back this season.
Adam was dropped off from the Petco Park -Heuvel during the loss of this evening against the Orioles (Video Via Talk baseball). Gunnar Henderson Save a helicopter in the middle. The ball was a bit behind the right -handed Adam, who naturally goes to first base at the next in his delivery. Adam seemed to try to plant and change direction to make the ball field fields when his left leg handed out. The injury had some similarities with those by Giant Starter Countries Rouppwho hurt his knee (coincidentally also in San Diego) while trying to avoid a comebackline Drive two weeks ago.
Both pitchers are eventually plagued from the field. RoupP received relatively good news because he escaped structural damage – although he ran a bone button that will probably end his season. Adam’s injury unfortunately seems more serious. It will also be a much more important development on the play -off image. The Friars Trail The Dodgers with 2.5 games in the NL West. They are in possession of the second Wild Card place of the National League and six games free from the best non-Playoff team.
Adam was a depth -reliever of the Journeyman during his 1920s. He suffered from a horrible left ankle fracture while in 2021 he with the triple-a affiliate of the Cubs Triple-A. It was remarkable that he returned to a hill only four months later. Adam had an outbreak with the rays the following season. He has been one of the best and most sustainable relievers in MLB for the past four years.
Since the beginning of 2022, Adam has been in sixth place in the Majors with 262 performances. His 2.04 earned running average is fourth under relievers with 100+ innings in that stretch (trial version Emmanuel -Classe” BruSdar Graterol And Félix Bautista). Only Tyler Rogers And Bryan Abreu I have more contents and Adam also collected 24 Saves at that time.
Adam has continued to produce since the Padres took over from Tampa Bay at the Trade Deadline of ’24. He took an ERA of 1.81 and above average strikeout of 26% in tonight’s appearance. He is the team leader in Holds (29) and Relief Innings (64 2/3). Only closer Robert Suarez On average, it has discussed higher leverage situations. Losing Adam will be a big hit in the late season, although the Padres still have a enviable group of back-end arms. The Mason Miller Deadline Swing assumes extra importance. Suarez remains an asset in the ninth inning, while Adrian Canin And Jeremiah Estrada His high-end setup arms.
The Padres have Adam under arbitration control for another season. He will be a considerable increase for the salary of $ 4.8 mm of this year if they offer him a contract. That would remain a bargain if he was healthy, but it would be a more difficult call if this injury threatened for part of his 2026 season. That prognosis will not be clear until the organization offers a return time line. The Padres could lose Suarez this winter to an opt-out clause, and it is possible that they are planning to give Miller a look as a starting pitcher next spring.
