Description: Philadelphia reliever Mike Adams has been placed on the 15-day DL.
Insight: Adams has been battling a strained back. He's 1-3 this season with a 3.00 ERA in 17 relief appearances.
 
5/13/2013 10:52:00 AM
Description: Phillies setup man, Mike Adams is not expected to be available for Tuesday's game against Cleveland due to back spasms.
Insight: Adams hasn't pitched since Friday when he gave up a walk and a hit in Arizona. The team doesn't expect to have to put him on the disabled list, but he is likely to need a few more days off.
 
4/28/2013 10:38:00 AM
Description: Phillies new setup man, Mike Adams, is questionable for Sunday's game against the New York Mets with a sore hip.
Insight: Adams hasn't pitched since Wednesday, but has already appeared in 11 games this season and is a huge loss for the Phillies bullpen even though he hasn't pitched up to his capability (1-2, 4.00 ERA, 1.44 WHIP).
 
12/21/2012 1:43:00 PM
Description: Phillies new setup man, Mike Adams, had Thoracic Outlet Syndrome last season which explains his mediocre statistics.
Insight: Adams regressed last season to a 3.27 ERA and 1.39 WHIP after posting a 1.71 ERA and 0.90 WHIP in 236 games over his previous four seasons. If 100 percent healthy he could bounce back, but unless your league uses a "holds" category, he'll have minimal fantasy value as the setup man to closer Jonathan Papelbon.

Insight: Adams regressed last season to a 3.27 ERA and 1.39 WHIP after posting a 1.71 ERA and 0.90 WHIP in 236 games over his previous four seasons. He'll have minimal fantasy appeal as the setup man to closer Jonathan Papelbon.
 
4/4/2012 11:35:00 AM
Description: Mike Adams left Tuesday's game after taking a batted ball off his leg. He faced just two hitters.
Insight: Adams recently returned from a hernia and now will deal with a calf injury. He's a strikeout-per-inning guy and the setup man for Joe Nathan. He'll have value in leagues which use the hold category and AL-only leagues.

Description: Mike Adams is going on the disabled list today because of an oblique strain. SOURCE: Ken Rosenthal on Twitter
Insight: He has pitched nicely this season, but he is nothing more than a low-end middle reliever in deeper fantasy leagues.
 
3/3/2010 11:31:00 PM
Description: The Union-Tribune reports that Adams is certainly someone to keep your eye on in the Padres' bullpen.
Insight: Adams came back from right shoulder surgery last season and had an ERA of 0.26 in his last 34 appearances last season. He struck out 44 batters over that span. (SportsBuff.com)
