Nationals' Riley Adams: Belts eighth homer
Adams went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 5-4 win over the Phillies.
The catcher gave the Nationals an early lead by taking Taijuan Walker deep in the first inning. Adams has slugged a career-high eight homers this season -- his previous best was five, set in 2022 -- and four of them have come in his last 24 games, a stretch in which he's slashing .289/.365/.487 with 11 RBI and 11 runs. With Keibert Ruiz (concussion) seemingly not close to a return, Adams' surprisingly productive run could continue into September.

Nationals' Riley Adams: Two more hits Thursday
Adams went 2-for-3 with a run scored and two RBI in Thursday's win over the Mets.
The 29-year-old continues to hold up surprisingly well in a starting role while Keibert Ruiz (concussion) remains sidelined. Over 30 games since Ruiz returned to the IL in early July, Adams is slashing .260/.343/.427 with four doubles, four homers, nine RBI and 13 runs. Ruiz is participating in baseball activities but remains without a timeline for his activation.

Adams is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.
Drew Millas will pick up a start behind the plate while Adams sits for the second time in three games.

Nationals' Riley Adams: Goes yard in narrow win
Adams went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Athletics.
Adams launched homer No. 7 on the campaign Wednesday. As long as Keibert Ruiz (concussion) remains on the injured list, the 29-year-old Adams has a much clearer pathway to fantasy relevance and is worth a look in deeper leagues for those in need of help at catcher. Over his last 12 games (40 plate appearances), Adams is slashing .250/.325/.556 with three round trippers, two doubles and six RBI.

Adams went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's loss to the Brewers.
Getting another start behind the plate and batting ninth, Adams led off the seventh inning by lofting a Quinn Priester slider over the left-field fence for his fourth homer of the year. Adams has started four of five games since Keibert Ruiz (concussion) was placed on the IL, going 3-for-15 with five strikeouts, and his fantasy upside remains limited even with the extra playing time.

Nationals' Riley Adams: Idle for first game of day
Adams is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Tigers.

Nationals' Riley Adams: Looks like new No. 1 catcher
Adams will start at catcher and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Padres, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.
Adams will draw his second straight start and appears poised to operate as the Nationals' No. 1 catcher for the foreseeable future after Washington placed Keibert Ruiz (head) on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Though Ruiz's absence will open up more playing time for Adams, the 28-year-old will be on the radar as a fantasy pickup mainly in NL-only leagues or mixed leagues that start two catchers. Adams owns a .651 OPS over parts of five seasons in the majors and is slashing just .106/.132/.273 with three home runs and eight RBI across 68 plate appearances so far in 2025.
