Adell hit a solo shot off an ineffective Kyle Gibson in the fourth inning to extend the Angels’ lead to 3-0. The former top prospect has five homers over the first six weeks, and he’s driven in 17 runs with a slash of .200/.236/.381.

If you’re Adell, getting a breather against reigning American League Cy Young award winner Tarik Skubal isn’t the worst thing that could happen. Kyren Paris will start in his place in center field and bat eighth for the Halos on Friday evening.

The Angels entered the ninth inning trailing 4-1, but they got things going as Mike Trout worked a walk, Jorge Soler singled, Logan O’Hoppe drew a walk and Zach Neto was hit by a pitch. Adell then followed with a three-run double down the line in left field that send the Angels’ home faithful into a frenzy. The 26-year-old outfielder finished the day 1-for-4 and is now hitting .224/.274/.379 on the season with two homers and 12 RBI.

There have been no mentions of any physical issues that Adell is dealing with, so we’re assuming it’s just a regular day of rest for the 26-year-old slugger. Kyren Paris will move to center field to cover for him while Luis Rengifo slides over to second base and J.D. Davis will get an opportunity at the hot corner. For those tracking at home, that will be the fifth game in the outfield this season for Paris as he works towards eligibility there for fantasy purposes.
