Padres' Jason Adam: Shifted to 60-day injured list
Rotowire
The Padres transferred Adam (quadriceps) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Martin Maldonado. Adam underwent season-ending surgery in early September to repair a ruptured left quadriceps tendon and is expected to require 6-to-9 months to recover.
Padres' Jason Adam: Out at least six months post-surgery
Rotowire
Adam is expected to face a recovery timeline of 6-to-9 months after he underwent surgery Sept. 3 to address a ruptured left quadriceps tendon, MLB.com reports.
Adam sustained the season-ending injury during his relief appearance against the Orioles on Sept. 1, when he felt the quad pop while he tried to make a defensive play. Though his surgery seems to have gone off without a hitch, Adam's estimated recovery timeline suggests that he won't be ready to go for the start of spring training in February, and his availability for Opening Day could also be in question. The 34-year-old right-hander, who is under club control through 2026, was a first-time All-Star this season and accrued a 1.93 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 70:25 K:BB to go with eight wins and 30 holds over 65.1 innings before rupturing his quad.

Adam was diagnosed with a ruptured tendon in his left quadriceps after being carted off the field during Monday's game against Baltimore.

Padres' Jason Adam: Dealing with quadriceps injury
Rotowire
Adam was diagnosed with a left quadriceps tendon rupture following Monday's 4-3 loss to the Orioles, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
Adam went down with what appeared to be a significant left leg injury with one out in the top of the seventh inning. It is now understood to be a quad issue, and the right-hander will now be sidelined for the foreseeable future. Adam is likely done for the season, and in his absence, Adrian Morejon may be thrust into a more prominent role in the back end of San Diego's bullpen.

Padres' Jason Adam: Carted off Monday
Rotowire
Adam (leg) was carted off the field in the seventh inning of Monday's contest against the Orioles, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
Adam entered the game in the top of the seventh inning with the score tied 3-3, recording one out before surrendering back-to-back singles, the latter of which he suffered a left leg injury during. The right-hander went down in a heap, potentially sustaining the injury on his follow-through. Unfortunately, Adam appears to be facing a substantial absence with a potentially season-ending injury.
