A. Adams - RP

Padres activated RHP Austin Adams from the 10-day injured list.

Adams has been out all season while recovering from ACL surgery on his left knee, but he's been throwing for a while now and could be an impact relief arm for the Padres down the stretch and in the postseason. He was acquired from the Mariners at the trade deadline.

L. Torrens - C

SEA

Mariners acquired C Luis Torrens, OF Taylor Trammell, RHP Andres Munoz, and INF Ty France from the Padres for C Austin Nola, RHP Austin Adams, and RHP Dan Altavilla.

Torrens holds an ugly .176/.256/.223 career batting line in 168 plate appearances at the major league level, but those numbers have come in small sample sizes spread across three different seasons, and the 24-year-old catcher should get regular playing time down the stretch for the rebuilding Mariners. He still has some upside.

A. Adams - RP

Padres acquired RHP Austin Adams, C Austin Nola, and RHP Dan Altavilla from the Mariners for OF Taylor Trammell, RHP Andres Munoz, INF Ty France, and C Luis Torrens.

Adams has missed the first five-plus weeks of the 2020 regular season while recovering from ACL surgery on his left knee, but he was nearing a return to the Mariners at last check and could potentially join the Padres' bullpen sometime in the next week or two. The 29-year-old right-hander holds a career 3.79 ERA and 63/27 K/BB ratio in 38 total innings at the major league level. The swing-and-miss stuff is for real.

A. Muñoz - RP

SEA

Mariners acquired RHP Andres Munoz, OF Taylor Trammell, INF Ty France, and C Luis Torrens from the Padres for C Austin Nola, RHP Austin Adams, and RHP Dan Altavilla.

Munoz needed Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery in March and probably won't make his Mariners debut until sometime in the early part of the 2021 season, but he has a huge arm and could be the closer of the future in Seattle. The flame-throwing 21-year-old posted a 3.91 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and 30 strikeouts over his first 23 major league innings with San Diego in 2019. He will be under the Mariners' control through 2025.

T. Trammell - LF

SEA

Mariners acquired OF Taylor Trammell, RHP Andres Munoz, INF Ty France, and C Luis Torrens from the Padres for C Austin Nola, RHP Austin Adams, and RHP Dan Altavilla.

Trammell posted an underwhelming .234/.340/.349 batting line in 514 plate appearances last season between the Double-A affiliates of the Reds and Padres, but he still managed to tally 10 home runs and 20 stolen bases. The toolsy 22-year-old outfield prospect is a nice get for the rebuilding Mariners, who already had two top outfield prospects in their system in Jarred Kelenic and Julio Rodriguez.

Added Aug 30 11:48 pm (EST)

N/A

A. Nola - C

Padres acquired C Austin Nola, RHP Austin Adams, and RHP Dan Altavilla from the Mariners for OF Taylor Trammell, RHP Andres Munoz, INF Ty France, and C Luis Torrens.

The seven-player swap has been made official. Nola is the headliner here for the Padres, who are also said to have a deal in place to acquire catcher Jason Castro from the Angels. Nola, 30, was batting .306/.373/.531 with five home runs and 19 RBI through 29 games (110 plate appearances) this season with Seattle and should get a boost in fantasy value with the move to a much more loaded lineup in San Diego. Other than catcher, he has appeared defensively as a major leaguer at first base, second base, third base, and both corner outfield spots. And he has also taken a turn at DH. Look for the postseason-hunting Padres to use him in a variety of ways.

A. Adams - RP

Austin Adams (knee) is on track to join the Mariners for their next road trip.

That road trip is scheduled to begin next Monday in Arlington, Texas. Adams has been on the injured list since the end of summer camp while finishing his recovery from knee (ACL) surgery, but he is set to work in simulated games this week and may be a closer candidate for Seattle if he's able to get back to full strength.

Austin Adams (knee) is expected to begin the season on the injured list.

The Mariners admit that they may have pushed Adams a little too quickly in summer camp as he returned from ACL surgery. He should be ready sometime in August and is one of a host of closer candidates in Seattle's bullpen.

Austin Adams (knee) will be ready to go for the start of spring training.

Adams had surgery last October to repair a torn left ACL and has progressed without issue since then. The Mariners are expected to go with a closer by committee this season and Adams could be in the mix for saves.

A. Adams - RP

Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said Saturday that Austin Adams (knee) has a chance to be ready whenever Opening Day arrives.

Adams had surgery last October to repair a torn left ACL and has progressed well since then. “He is moving quickly in his rehab,” Dipoto said. “Like most things he does, he’s been very aggressive. He’s already throwing, and the last update was he’s running at 100 percent in 30-yard increments. His stop-and-start is where it needs to be.” Adams was excellent during his time with the Mariners last season and could be in the mix for saves in 2020.

A. Adams - RP

Adams (knee) was moved to the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Adams was placed on the injured list in order to make a roster spot available for the Mariners to sign Taijuan Walker. Adams is still recovering from right knee surgery to repair his torn ACL that was originally delayed due to the discovery of a blood clot in his left calf. The 28-year-old accumulated a 3.77 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 51:14 K:BB across 31 innings with Seattle in 2019. If Adams doesn't experience any significant setbacks during the rehab process, it is likely that he can return to the Mariners bullpen around June.

A. Adams - RP

MIN

Adams returned to the Twins as a non-roster invitee Tuesday.

Adams struggled in his 16.2 innings for the Tigers last season, recording a 7.02 ERA and 13 walks. Prior to being claimed off waivers by Detroit in May, the 33-year-old pitched 18 innings for Triple-A Rochester within the Twins' organization, posting a more modest 4.50 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and a 28:6 K:BB. The veteran right-hander will have an opportunity to impress the big-league coaching staff this spring, but he will likely return to the minors given the amount of experienced arms that make up the Minnesota bullpen.

D. Booker - SG

PHX

Devin Booker (left hamstring strain) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

After Booker suffered the injury during Friday's loss to the Nuggets, coach Monty Williams said that he could miss up to a full week. Hopefully the talented guard will be able to return sooner rather than later, and his absence frees up additional scoring opportunities for Cameron Johnson.

T. Young - PG

ATL

Trae Young (back), Clint Capela (hand), John Collins, De'Andre Hunter and Kevin Huerter will start Tuesday's game against the Clippers.

No surprise here, as Young, Capela and Danilo Gallinari (ankle) were all cleared to play Tuesday afternoon. Rajon Rondo and Onyeka Okongwu are back with the second unit, and their already-low fantasy values take a hit as a result. De'Andre Hunter and John Collins won't have the ball in their hands as much with Young returning to the lineup, but their fantasy values will be fine.

According to FanSided's Robert Murray, the Brewers continue to listen to trade offers on Josh Hader.

Murray adds, however, that the asking price remains "overwhelming" for the 26-year-old left-handed reliever, who owns a dominant 2.54 ERA, 0.858 WHIP, and 380 strikeouts in 223 2/3 career major league innings. Hader just avoided salary arbitration with Milwaukee earlier this month on a one-year, $6.675 million contract. As it stands right now, he is under the club's control through the end of the 2023 season.

A. Ekeler - RB

LAC

Chargers OC Joe Lombardi compared Austin Ekeler to Alvin Kamara, Reggie Bush, and Darren Sproles.

Lombardi's background is with the Saints, who have utilized their running backs in the pass game better than any team in the modern era. Ekeler's abilities should be maximized under Lombardi who helped turn Sproles, Bush, and Kamara into PPR cheat codes. Lombardi also mentioned using an uptempo offense and being aggressive on fourth downs, so it's possible that the Chargers take a leap in 2021. They certainly have the talent on both sides of the ball to do so. Ekeler belongs in the top-six mix in PPR formats.

K. Johnson - G

Sponsor's invite Kamaiu Johnson has removed his name from the field ahead of this week's Farmers Insurance Open, citing a positive COVID-19 test result. Willie Mack III will receive an invite in his place.

Johnson was set to play his first PGA TOUR event this week but that will have to hold off a bit longer. The 2020 APGA Tour Championship winner provided a statement, "To say that I’m disappointed would be a massive understatement. I’ve dreamed of playing on the PGA TOUR for a long, long time, but health and safety come first. It’s times like these where you have to keep focusing on the bigger picture at hand, and from my experience, a fork in the road often has an interesting way of leading to new opportunities. Getting a brief glimpse of the Farmers Insurance Open and what it would be like to play on the PGA TOUR only further ignites the fire inside me to work that much harder to chase the dream of playing on TOUR full-time." This is tough news for Johnson but you hope the TOUR finds a way to pay him back with an invite into another upcoming event. Taking his spot will be Willie Mack who will have his PGA TOUR debut moved up a few weeks with this news. Mack received the Charlie Sifford Memorial Exemption to play in the Genesis Invitational which takes place in three weeks.

J. Wilson - RB

49ers re-signed RB Jeff Wilson to a one-year contract.

Wilson is coming off a 600-yard, six-touchdown rushing season as a rotational back in coach Kyle Shanahan's offense. He entered the season as a backup but started games with Raheem Mostert dealing with lingering injuries. Both Mostert and Wilson are signed through the 2021 season, making this a competition to track during the offseason. It's unclear what the 49ers will do on third downs with both Tevin Coleman and Jerick McKinnon set to be unrestricted free agents. There's a ceiling to chase in this balanced offense.

Rinne was in the starter's net during practice, indicating that he is the likely starter. The 38-year-old goaltender has appeared in two games this season, starting just one. He has a 0-1-0 record with a 3.78 goals-against-average and a .839 save percentage. Rinne will be hoping to get his season back on track tonight.
