It didn't affect Adell the rest of the night at the plate, as he went on to go 3-for-4 with one home run, six RBI and one run scored before being replaced by Petey Halpin in the outfield.

Angels' Jo Adell: Launches long ball Saturday
Rotowire
Adell went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss to the Royals.
Adell accounted for the only Angels run with a solo shot to center field in the fourth inning. The homer also extended the outfielder's streak of producing an RBI to three games. Adell isn't on pace to approach the career-high 37 long balls he hit last season, as he's gone deep a modest four times through 28 contests this year. However, he's shown improvement in other areas, as his .265 batting average is on pace to be a career-best mark, and his 19.8 percent strikeout rate would easily be the lowest of his career.

Mike Trout, Adell and Jorge Soler went back-to-back-to-back with solo shots in the top of the first inning against left-hander Ryan Weathers. Adell's homer was just his second of the season, as his flyball and hard-hit rates are down to begin the 2026 campaign.
