Adell (knee) entered Thursday's game as a pinch hitter and went 0-for-2 in a 5-2 win over San Francisco.
Adell, who was held out of the starting lineup for a second consecutive day, pinch hit for Travis Bazzana in the sixth inning and finished out the game as the designated hitter. His usage off the bench suggests Adell could rejoin the starting nine Friday, when the Guardians face the Rockies in Colorado.
