2025 Fantasy Outlook
From an offensive perspective, Adams was one of the better-performing No. 2 catchers in baseball in 2023, putting up an .807 OPS across 158 plate appearances. That included a .960 OPS against left-handed pitching. However, Adams gave all that back in 2024, finishing with just a .629 OPS while spending some time in the minors. The Nationals brought Adams back to compete with Drew Millas for the backup job behind Keibert Ruiz. Adams' lack of minor-league options might give him an edge over Millas, but his poor defense works against him. Read Past Outlooks
Back in action Monday
Adams (wrist) will start at catcher and bat eighth in Monday's Grapefruit League contest versus the Marlins, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Adams missed a few days of action with a sore wrist as a result of a hit-by-pitch, but there was never any worry it could be a long-term issue. He's competing to be the Nationals' backup catcher behind Keibert Ruiz.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Adams was one of the most productive backup catchers in baseball last season, slashing an impressive .273/.331/.476 with four home runs across 158 plate appearances. A huge chunk of that production came against left-handed pitching, with Adams sporting a .960 OPS with three of his four long balls versus southpaws. Adams made more than twice as many starts against lefties than he did against righties and it could be a similar setup in 2024, with Keibert Ruiz seeing some action at designated hitter those days. It's a role that could make him valuable again to the Nationals but one which probably won't lead to usefulness in fantasy leagues.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Non-tender candidate
Adams could be non-tendered by the Nationals, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Adams is projected to make around $1 million in arbitration, which isn't a prohibitive amount. However, the 28-year-old slashed just .224/.292/.336 in 2024 and is out of options, and the club has Drew Millas available as a backup catcher option.
