Jason Adam Thinks he Could be Ready for Opening Day
San Diego Padres right-handed reliever Jason Adam (quadriceps) told 97.3 The Fan on Friday that he thinks he could be available for Opening Day in late March as he works his way back from a ruptured left quadriceps tendon that he suffered late last year. Adam has been throwing bullpen sessions, but he still has some boxes to check to prove that he can field his own position and move around. The most likely scenario is that the 34-year-old veteran will start the 2026 season on the injured list before making his season debut at some point in April. Before his injury, Adam was a key piece of SD's lights-out bullpen, posting a 1.93 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and 70:25 K:BB in 65 1/3 innings out of the bullpen. His 29 holds ranked seventh among relievers. Adam's strikeout rate dipped a bit to 25.9%, which was his lowest mark since 2019. If he can stay healthy in 2026, Adam should be a great asset in holds leagues yet again.
