4 years agoSeattle Mariners reliever Austin Adams is nearing a return to the team after undergoing knee surgery this offseason. He could throw a sim game sometime this week, and the best-case scenario is joining the team next Monday for the beginning of their road trip. Adams was a favorite for the ninth-inning job before his surgery and could earn a high-leverage role for the M's when he returns to the team. With several middling closer options already in the bullpen, there's no safe bet for any reliever to run away with the job this season.--Riley Mrack - RotoBaller
