Gives up five runs Sunday Adon (1-3) allowed five runs on six hits and a walk while striking out three in four innings to take the loss against the Giants on Sunday.

Impact Adon earned the win Tuesday against the Diamondbacks by tossing 6.1 scoreless innings, but he was much less effective in Sunday's outing. He gave up a leadoff home run to Joc Pederson and struggled to turn things around later in the start. The right-hander has now given up at least four runs in three of his first four starts of the season, and he's posted a 6.98 ERA and 1.66 WHIP in 19.1 innings. He tentatively lines up for a rematch against the Giants on the road Saturday.

Joan Adon 'worked his rear end off' to get to Nationals Park Adon, a 23-year-old pitcher, is settling in with the Nationals.

Collects first MLB win Adon (1-2) picked up the win in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Diamondbacks, giving up three hits and two walks over 6.1 scoreless innings in a 1-0 victory....

Impact The young right-hander put together the best start of his big-league career so far, as he didn't allow a runner past second base while tossing 57 of 88 pitches for strikes in his first career win and first quality start. Adon has not has a good beginning to the season overall, posting a 5.87 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 13:9 K:BB through 15.1 innings over three starts, but the Nationals will stick with him in the rotation for now given the 23-year-old's potential.

'Hallelujah!' Adon helps Nats sweep doubleheader vs. D-backs

Starting second game of twin bill Adon is scheduled to start the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Diamondbacks, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Impact After the Nationals' series opener with the Diamondbacks was postponed Monday due to inclement weather, Josiah Gray was pushed back a day in the pitching schedule and will take the hill for the first game of the twin bill. Though Adon will stay on his normal schedule to pitch the nightcap Tuesday, he'll likely be passed over for a second start this week in favor of Gray. With Gray expected to get the ball Sunday against the Giants on his normal four days' rest, Adon is unlikely to make his fourth start of the season until early next week against the Marlins.

Prospect Adon has the stuff, but learning curve steep in Majors PITTSBURGH \-\- Washington rookie right-hander Joan Adon has the stuff to pitch in Major League Baseball, which is why the 23-year-old has b...

APRIL 15, 2022 • MLB.COM

Another poor outing Adon (0-2) allowed six earned runs on nine hits and three walks while striking out five across 4.2 innings to take the loss Thursday against the Pirates.

Impact Adon was handed a three-run lead prior to taking the mound, but he was unable to maintain the advantage. He surrendered a pair of home runs that accounted for half of the damage against him, and he also struggled to get pitches in the zone. Across a pair of starts and a total of nine innings, Adon has allowed 10 earned runs and seven walks. Prior to earning a spot in the Nationals' rotation to open the campaign, Adon had thrown only 23.1 combined innings between the upper levels of the minors and the major leagues. That makes a demotion to Triple-A Rochester a realistic possibility if his struggles continue, but for now Adon is projected to start Tuesday against Arizona.

Struggles in season debut Adon (0-1) took the loss Saturday as the Nationals fell 5-0 to the Mets, giving up four runs on four hits and four walks over 4.1 innings while striking out three.

Impact Making his second career start in the majors, Adon looked nervous, uncorking two wild pitches and plunking Starling Marte in addition to his free passes. Adon threw only 47 of 86 pitches for strikes but he probably wishes he'd gotten one less pitch over the plate, as Pete Alonso drove a fifth-inning fastball down the line for a grand slam. The Nationals don't have much in the way of rotation depth right now, so expect Adon to get more chances to show he belongs in the bigs. The right-hander at least gets a more favorable matchup on paper in his next scheduled start Thursday, on the road in Pittsburgh.

Earns rotation spot Adon has secured a spot in the Nationals' Opening Day rotation, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Adon made his major-league debut in the final game of last season, allowing two runs on six hits in 5.1 frames against the Red Sox while striking out nine and walking three. Prior to that, he'd only made three starts at Double-A and one at Triple-A, so he doesn't have much experience facing high-level hitters. He doesn't come with a ton of prospect pedigree, but the Nationals clearly like what they see in the 23-year-old given how quickly he's ascended through the levels.

Nationals' Corbin gets nod to start opening day vs Mets

APRIL 2, 2022 • Associated Press

In mix for rotation spot Manager Dave Martinez said Saturday that Adon is in the mix for a spot in the Nationals' starting rotation since Erick Fedde's (oblique) status for the start of the season is in qu...

Impact Fedde recently underwent an MRI that didn't reveal anything too concerning, but he doesn't want to rush back to the mound if he isn't fully healthy for the start of the regular season. Adon was effective in his first Grapefruit League start of the spring, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out nine in 5.1 innings. He'll make another start Saturday against Miami, but his role to begin the regular season is mainly dependent on Fedde's health as spring training draws to a close.

APRIL 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Solid in first start Adon allowed two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out nine over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus Boston on Sunday.

Impact The 23-year-old gave up a few too many baserunners, but he left the game in line for the win before Washington's bullpen gave up the lead. Adon logged a 4.97 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 122:40 K:BB across 105 innings across three different levels of the minors, although 17 of his 21 starts came at High-A Wilmington. He'll likely need more time at Triple-A Rochester to begin 2022, barring a standout performance in spring training.

OCTOBER 3, 2021 • Associated Press

Called up for start The Nationals recalled Adon from Triple-A Rochester ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Red Sox in Washington.

Impact While making his MLB debut Sunday, Adon will be looking to play spoiler against the Red Sox, who can secure a wild-card spot with a victory over Washington. Adon arrives in Washington having little high-level experience in the minors, as he made just one four-inning start at Triple-A before receiving his first big-league call-up. The 23-year-old righty will most likely have a short leash Sunday.
