2024 Fantasy Outlook
Adon has above-average velocity and has often produced groundballs at a high rate. It's a combination which has intrigued the Nationals enough to give the right-hander 25 starts (27 appearances in total) and 121.2 innings over the last three seasons. However, Adon simply has shown no semblance of being a major-league caliber starting pitcher, collecting a 6.66 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 11.5 percent walk rate over that span. He's also produced just a 4.64 ERA and 1.52 WHIP at Triple-A Rochester over the last two seasons. It's a profile which screams reliever, and that may very well be where Adon winds up in 2024.

Misses out on Opening Day rotation
The Nationals optioned Adon to Triple-A Rochester on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Adon posted a 6.45 ERA and 1.63 WHIP over 12 appearances (10 starts) with the Nationals a season ago, but with the Washington rotation in a better spot from a health standpoint heading into spring training than it was late in the 2023 campaign, the right-hander won't earn a spot on the Opening Day squad. He's still likely to stay stretched out on the farm as a member of Rochester's rotation and will be available to make spot starts for the big club whenever injuries test the Nationals' rotation depth.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Adon was a surprise addition to the Nationals' 2022 Opening Day rotation, but he struggled to a 7.10 ERA and was not seen again at the major-league level after July 7. Dress in layers if you're to visit Adon's Statcast page -- there is a lot of frigid blue, showing bottom-10 percentile ranks in xERA, xBA, xSLG, Barrel%, BB% and Whiff%. Things got better with Triple-A Rochester from a run-prevention standpoint (4.68 ERA), but Adon remained far too generous with the free passes (5.1 BB/9). Mostly a fastball-curveball pitcher last season, Adon brings good velocity with the heater. The Nationals may need him to eat innings in 2023 after he cleared 100 frames between the two levels a season ago. The 24-year-old remains on the 40-man roster as of late December.
