Goes six scoreless in Miami Adon (2-0) picked up the win Friday, yielding two hits and no walks over six shutout innings in a 7-4 victory over the Marlins. he struck out three.

Impact Adon carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning before Jazz Chisholm hit one up the middle which struck the second-base bag and went for a single. The Marlins added an additional single in the frame, but Adon escaped unscathed in getting Josh Bell swinging to strand a couple runners. The biggest number of the night for Adon was probably the zero free passes, as the 25-year-old has struggled plenty with control in his career. This was Adon's six appearance and fourth start for the Nationals this season and he's expected to remain in their rotation the rest of the way. Outings like the one he put up Friday in Miami figure to be atypical.

Dealing with leg cramps Adon was removed from Friday's start against the Athletics because of cramping in both legs, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Exits with undisclosed injury Adon was removed from Friday's start against the Athletics with an undisclosed injury, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

AUGUST 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Officially joining rotation Nationals manager Dave Martinez confirmed Wednesday that Adon will have a permanent spot in the rotation down the stretch, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Washington is going to roll with a six-man rotation the rest of the way, or at least attempt to, in order to manage the workloads of young starters MacKenzie Gore, Josiah Gray and Jake Irvin. Adon looked pretty sharp in his last start Saturday versus the Reds, tallying seven strikeouts with no walks over six innings. He was charged with three earned runs in the final frame after retiring the first 17 batters he faced.

Impact Adon started Saturday and wound up allowing three earned runs over 6.0 innings, but he also gave up just three hits and posted a 7:0 K:BB, and that was good enough to keep him with the big club for the time being. It remains to be seen, though, if he will start next time through the rotation or shift to the bullpen.

Called up for Saturday's start Adon was recalled from Triple-A Rochester ahead of his start against the Reds on Saturday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact The 24-year-old is making a spot start Saturday with Trevor Williams (personal) on the bereavement list. Adon had a 7.10 ERA over 64.2 innings for the Nationals last season but has spent most of 2023 at Rochester, where he has a 4.62 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 80:40 K:BB in 17 starts.

Draws spot start Saturday Nationals manager Dave Martinez said Adon will be recalled from Triple-A Rochester to start Saturday's game in Cincinnati, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Adon will likely just be getting a spot start for the big club as he steps into the rotation as a replacement for Trevor Williams (personal), who remains on the bereavement list. The 24-year-old has made two relief appearances at the big-league level in 2023 but has otherwise spent the entire campaign as a member of the rotation in Rochester, where he's accrued a 4.62 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 80:40 K:BB in 87.2 innings. He was one of the majors' worst-performing pitchers during his 14-start run in the Washington rotation in 2022, going 1-12 with a 7.10 ERA in 64.2 innings.

AUGUST 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A Adon was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Monday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact After being called up July 7, Adon will return to Triple-A, having allowed three runs on three hits, including two homers, over two appearances with the Nationals while a member of the major-league bullpen. Patrick Corbin was activated from the paternity list Monday and will replace Adon on Washington's roster.

JULY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from Rochester The Nationals recalled Adon from Triple-A Rochester on Friday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Adon hasn't been spectacular in Triple-A with a 4.81 ERA and 1.59 WHIP through 76.2 innings, but he'll be called upon to bolster Washington's pitching staff. Adon has been used almost exclusively as a starter throughout his career, though it's unclear whether or not the Nationals plan on using him in a multi-inning relief role. Joe La Sorsa was optioned to Rochester in a corresponding move.

Bypassed for call-up Adon remains on the Nationals' taxi squad but won't be formally called up from Triple-A Rochester to serve as the 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader with the Mets, Andrew Golden of...

Impact Shortly after Saturday's game was suspended, manager Dave Martinez suggested that Adon would be promoted to the big club once the Nationals and Mets completed the resumed game Sunday. Instead, the Nationals will designate Cory Abbott as the 27th man ahead of the second game of the day, perhaps due to the fact that he's outperformed Adon at the Triple-A level this season. Expect Adon to return to Rochester to make his next turn through the Triple-A rotation later on in the upcoming week.

MAY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will be 27th man against Mets Nationals manager Dave Martinez told reporters that Adon will be the 27th player on the roster for Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets on Sunday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.co...

Impact Adon will come up from Triple-A for the twin billing against the Mets after Saturday's game against New York was postponed. Adon will only be eligible for the second game, and he will provide some multi-inning insurance with Jake Irvin starting. The Nationals have not announced who will start the first game of Sunday's doubleheader.

How quickly can baseball fates change? Ask Joan Adon. Joan Adon was the lone player on Washington's 40-man roster who was optioned to Class AAA Rochester on Tuesday.

MARCH 10, 2023 • WASHINGTONPOST.COM

Nationals' first round of spring training cuts include pitcher Joan Adon Adon catapulted himself into Washington’s starting rotation last season but finished the year with a 7.10 ERA.

MARCH 7, 2023 • WASHINGTONPOST.COM

Sent to Triple-A The Nationals optioned Adon to Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

Impact Adon posted a dreadful 7.10 ERA over 14 starts for the Nationals last season and wasn't viewed as a serious candidate for the Opening Day rotation. The right-hander has displayed plenty of bat-missing ability on the farm but still needs to fine-tune some things before getting another look in the majors.
