After a red-hot month of August for the San Diego Padres, the calendar turning to September has already introduced misfortune within the worst means.
Throughout Monday’s 4-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles , San Diego reduction pitcher Jason Adam went down with a non-contact damage. Adam stayed down and was finally carted off the sphere.
It appeared that the damage was severe, and the severity of it has now been introduced.
Padres supervisor Mike Shildt announced after the sport that Adam has been identified with a ruptured quad tendon. Adam is scheduled to bear additional testing, however the worry is that he will likely be out for the rest of the season.
It’s a brutal blow for San Diego, as Adam has been the most effective relievers not simply within the Padres’ bullpen, however in all of baseball this season.
Adam has a 1.91 ERA with 70 strikeouts in 65 1/3 innings pitched. He was rightfully chosen to his first All-Star Recreation again in July and was nicely on the best way to the most effective full season of his profession.
If there’s a silver lining for the Padres, it could be that they acquired the flame-throwing Mason Miller on the commerce deadline, and he can fill within the position that Adam was serving in.
Whatever the talents of Miller, it’s an unlucky damage for a San Diego workforce making an attempt to catch the Los Angeles Dodgers and win the Nationwide League West for the primary time since 2006.
