2026 Projections
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Adam, a first-time All-Star in 2025, finished seventh with 29 holds while posting an ERA under 2.00 for the third time in the past four seasons. The 33-year-old tossed fewer four-seamers and sweepers in favor of more sliders (35 percent pitch usage) and changeups (33 percent), though his slider (.280 BA, .360 SLG, 40 percent whiff) wasn't as dominant as it was in 2024 (.105 BA, .211 SLG, 57.1 percent whiff). His strikeout rate also dipped to 25.9 percent, and while it was still above average (74th percentile per Statcast), it was his lowest mark since 2019. Adam underwent surgery in September to repair a torn left quad tendon and is expected to be ready to throw off a mound sometime during spring training. It appears a stint on the injured list is likely to begin 2026, though he might not miss much time. When healthy enough to return, Adam should slot right back into an important setup role for San Diego. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, $6.7 million contract with the Padres in January of 2026.
Nearing Cactus League action
Adam (quadriceps) will throw one additional simulated game within the next few days with the goal of pitching in an exhibition over the weekend, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Analysis
Acee notes that Adam remains on his original timeline after undergoing left quadriceps tendon repair surgery in September. Assuming he's cleared to pitch in a Cactus League game at some point during the weekend, he would then have an opportunity to appear in three or four more games before the 2026 season gets underway. "I felt great," said Adam after taking part in fielding practice Sunday. "It's more the reactive. Like, anytime it's planned, they feel good about it. But the quick reaction, in-game reaction that you can't predict, that's where they're just being more cautious. But we're getting close."

Stat Review
How does Jason Adam compare to other relievers?
This section compares his stats with all relief pitcher seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 30 innings)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank.

2013
Adam was excellent for the third consecutive season, posting top-15 marks among relief pitchers with a career-high 73.2 innings pitched (T-14th), a 1.95 ERA (T-13th), 0.86 WHIP (11th) and 31 holds (seventh). The 33-year-old right-hander was particularly sharp after he was traded mid-season to San Diego, with whom he's under team control through 2026. Adam has not featured a slider much throughout his career, but threw more than ever in 2024 with great success, generating a remarkably high 57 percent whiff rate; second only to Josh Hader for that pitch type. Adam should maintain his high leverage role with the Padres in 2025 and has a decent shot at regular save opportunities considering injuries have often plagued closer Robert Suarez in the past.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Trending in right direction
Adam, who's recovering from a quadriceps injury, is trending in the right direction in his recovery but still doesn't have a clear date to return, according to Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune.
Analysis
"Pitching-wise, we're...beyond on pace. It's just a matter of being cleared," Adam said. He also acknowledged that he hasn't been ruled out for Opening Day yet, so everything is up in the air for him. Adam has been one of the best relievers in baseball of late, and he's coming off an All-Star nod in 2025, when he posted a 1.93 ERA across 65 regular-season appearances. Recovering from left quadriceps tendon repair surgery, Adam has been throwing bullpens since early December.
