Padres All-Star Jason Adam Ruptures Quad Tendon, Faces Lengthy Absence

Adam expects a six-to-nine month recovery pending the team's decision on surgery.

Overview

  • Adam collapsed in the seventh inning at Petco Park while trying to move for a grounder and was carted off during a 4-3 loss to the Orioles.
  • Manager Mike Shildt said postgame that imaging and further evaluation will confirm the ruptured left quad tendon and clarify whether surgery is required.
  • Adam told reporters his recovery timeline is six to nine months, which likely ends his standout 2025 season.
  • The first-time All-Star has a 1.93 ERA with 70 strikeouts in 65 1/3 innings after joining San Diego at last year’s trade deadline.
  • San Diego will lean more on Mason Miller and Robert Suárez for late-inning work; Suárez relieved Adam and yielded the go-ahead single to Dylan Beavers.
