Overview

  • Adam collapsed grabbing his left knee after trying to field a chopper in the seventh, said he felt a pop, and was taken off on a cart.
  • Two batters later Baltimore pushed across the go-ahead run and beat San Diego 4-3, leaving the Padres 2.5 games behind the Dodgers in the NL West.
  • Adam said the injury timeline likely ends his season pending imaging, estimating a six-to-nine-month recovery.
  • The first-time All-Star has a 1.93 ERA with 70 strikeouts in 65 1/3 innings; manager Mike Shildt praised his importance and said further testing is planned as the club leans on a deep bullpen featuring Robert Suárez and trade pickup Mason Miller.
  • San Diego is already without Xander Bogaerts due to a broken foot, while Fernando Tatis Jr. described his recent tightness as minor; in a separate late-season blow, Arizona’s Lourdes Gurriel Jr. was carted off with right knee pain and will undergo imaging.
