Mariners’ Austin Adams Will Require ACL Surgery

By George Miller | September 22, 2019 at 2:41pm CDT

Mariners right-hander Austin Adams will need surgery to repair the torn ACL and meniscus in his right knee, according to Greg Johns of MLB.com. It’s devastating news for the 28-year-old Adams, who now faces an approximate 6-8 month recovery timeline.

The injury diagnosis comes after Adams underwent an MRI Sunday morning, which was precipitated by Adams’s departure from last night’s game after suffering a knee injury while covering first base.

Adams has been one of the bright spots of the Mariners lackluster season, at times looking dominant out of the bullpen. He’s ridden a dynamic slider to a solid 53:16 K:BB ratio in 32 innings between the Nationals and M’s this year, good for a 14.9 K/9. As Johns notes in a later Tweet, that’s a mark that ranks among the best by a reliever in Mariners history (minimum 100 batters faced).

While that doesn’t mean that Adams was flawless, he has nonetheless proven to be a fine discovery by the M’s front office and a piece that could factor into future Seattle bullpens. For a year in which the M’s have trotted out dozens of fringe relievers, Adams has been one of the definite successes after he was acquired from Washington in May.

However, those plans will have to be temporarily put on hold as Adams will now have to work his way back from a significant knee injury. His recovery will no doubt cut into his 2020 season, with the upper estimate for recovery placing him on track to be at full health in late May, though he likely wouldn’t be able to return to game action until about midseason.

        Not sarcasm just a highly delusional fan thinking we have a chance. OK it is sarcasm can 2021 hurry up and get here? Seeing what some of the young kids are doing is exciting. Lewis has been nothing short of amazing.

    Relax. 2021 or 2022 will be no different will be just like the Padres finally firing the manager like they just fired Green today. After top management makes poor choices just like all the teams do. Just like Sosa of the Angels was let go it’s the hot shots that make poor choices that keep their jobs.. Those louzy managers right.? Who else’s fault sure couldn’t be. The Mariners organization itself, Mariners fans save your time there just trying to make you think there will be improvement. Yea right! Smart move root for another team!!!

      Scioscia quit, he wasn’t fired. He and Dipoto didn’t get along, but Dipoto ended up quitting first.

    Kukuchi 43 million for a 6 era that’s where all the money went that would pay for 100 other pitchers that are twice as good. Cold hard facts management! Are they 35 or 40 games back now?

      Well you are wrong about K he had a 2 year deal and the other 4 are a team option. I see with my own eyes the players they are clinging on having success already. There are a few others but we will see. Probably a halos fan and mad Dipoto is succeeding here. We have the staff and FO to succeed the owners are bought in. We owe the old guy from Nintendo a lot of thanks but the team was run like a business just needed positive cash flow at the closing of the books. That was a success. The owner never saw them play. He was afraid of a plane crash. He didn’t even go when they played in Japan tbd first time. Too long of a car ride. He saved us from becoming Tampa. He held onto it too long. Nye owners aren’t afraid to spend money if it will help. That is why Lou left Nintendo wouldn’t splurge on an asset we needed. The year we won 116 games he wanted a SP BP arm and one more player they said no. It didn’t for in the business model and would take away from the bottom line. He said if you give me this you will make more even with the new players. It was a risk they wouldn’t take..
      New ownership wants to win more than anything. Why did you think they are getting all these high priced players along with carefully selected kids. They will spend money to get the player or players we want. Dollar wise might be a loss but the one poor two players will more than make up for it down the road. I don’t expect to have the angels problems they keep switching the way they are going. I would guess closer to Houston. Time will only yell.

    Kikuchi 109 million for almost a 6 era that’s where all the money went for any other prospects! Maybe they can finish season forty games back!

    66 wins 90 loses . Maybe if you come in last place 9 years in a row you might get enough 1st round draft choices to get a team. Brilliant strategy !

      Well, that’s what they’re trying to do. It worked for the Astros—time will tell if it’ll work for the Mariners. It’s hard to be hopeful after the M’s not making the playoffs for 18 years.
