Adleman gave up five runs in 3.1 innings of work Tuesday, allowing five hits and two walks while also striking out two.
Adleman struggled in his return after being struck by a batted ball, and it now marks the second consecutive outing where he has conceded at least five runs. With DeSclafani on the DL to start the season, Adleman is in the heart of a rotation race in Cincinnati that likely won't be resolved until the final days of spring. The 29-year-old has now allowed 12 runs across 9.2 innings (11.74 ERA) in five games this spring, a trend he'll have to quickly reverse if he wants to claim one of the final rotation spots.
