Angels Call Up Jo Adell
3 years agoThe Los Angeles Angels have called up outfielder Jo Adell ahead of Monday's game against the Texas Rangers. He is playing left field and batting sixth. Adell has been productive this year in Triple-A, batting .289 with a .592 slugging and 23 HRs in 73 games. This will be his first appearance of the year with the Angels and he will look to improve his career numbers after an unspectacular debut in 2020. He slashed .161/.212/.266 and struck out 41.7% of the time. If he wants to become the star outfielder that many thought he would be, he will need to work on his poor strikeout numbers that have hurt him the past few years. With Justin Upton, Brandon Marsh, and Adam Eaton on the roster, as well as Mike Trout returning at some point this season, he will need to hit to find a spot in the everyday lineup. Fantasy managers looking to add power to their outfield could add Adell and hope that he will get enough at-bats. Additionally, the Angels promoted Chris Rodriguez and demoted Kean Wong and Matt Thaiss.
