Wed, 22 May 2013 14:52:47 -0700 Philadelphia Phillies RP Mike Adams (back) threw a bullpen session Wednesday, May 22, and is optimistic that he can return from the disabled list before the weekend ends.

Adams could return next Wednesday if he doesn't have any setbacks.

Wed, 15 May 2013 11:39:15 -0700 Philadelphia Phillies RP Mike Adams (back) said he's still dealing with back problems Wednesday, May 15, and he was unavailable to throw Tuesday, May 14, and said his back felt "the same" Wednesday.

Fantasy Tip: The Phils took a risk signing Adams to a hefty contract in the offseason after he underwent surgery to fix Thoracic Outlet Syndrome in his shoulder. Adams hasn't been the same since, and he hasn't thrown in five days. He's not nearly as effective as he used to be as a setup man with the San Diego Padres, and he's won't be challenging Jonathan Papelbon any time soon for ninth-inning duties.
Sun, 17 Mar 2013 10:17:43 -0700 The Philadelphia Phillies are expected to open the season with a seven-man bullpen.

RPs Phillippe Aumont, Jeremy Horst, Michael Stutes and Raul Valdes, along with non-roster invitee Ps Aaron Cook, Rodrigo Lopez and Zach Miner, will compete for those spots.

Wed, 20 Feb 2013 12:26:40 -0800 Philadelphia Phillies pitching coach Rich Dubee said RP Mike Adams (shoulder) is doing fine physically but probably will not pitch in spring training games until March because the team wants to go slowly with him.

Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:58:10 -0800 Philadelphia Phillies RP Mike Adams (shoulder) said he won't rush himself back after undergoing surgery to fix thoracic outlet syndrome last year, the same procedure that St. Louis Cardinals SP Chris Carpenter (shoulder) was unable to come back from. Adams is on schedule this spring and has thrown off a mound three times, but he plans to delay his spring training debut because of the length of camp this year. He should make his first spring outing in the beginning of March.
