Adam Nears Return to Padres Bullpen | San Diego News

Jason Adam is on the verge of returning to the mound for the Padres after a June shoulder injury, with live BP scheduled this week and a possible minor league rehab start as early as Sunday. Once a reliable bullpen anchor with a 2.51 ERA in 36 appearances and an All-Star nod in 2025, his comeback could be a major boost for a Padres team locked in a tight NL West race. With key relievers already overused and another, Jeremiah Estrada, sidelined again, Adam’s return — even if gradual — offers critical depth. Pain-free and confident, he’s focused on clean mechanics and rebuilding velocity, and with a solid 2.45 postseason ERA, he’s primed to help the Padres’ playoff push in mid-September.
