The change is retroactive to Thursday. In a corresponding move, the A’s have brought right-hander Dany Jimenez (strained left oblique abdominal muscle) off the 15-day IL.
Adams, 33, is 1-2 with a 3.92 ERA, 23 walks, 53 strikeouts and 13 hit batters in 41 1/3 innings in 56 relief appearances in his first season with Oakland, which is an American League-leading record.
In parts of eight seasons, Adams has a record of 7-7 with a 4.10 ERA, 98 walks and 223 strikeouts in 155 2/3 innings over 188 games (two starts) with the Washington Nationals (2017-19), Seattle Mariners (2019), San Diego Padres (2020-22), Arizona Diamondbacks (2023) and the Athletics.
Adams signed as a free agent with the New York Mets in November, but was later designated for trade and his contract was purchased by the A’s in March.
Jimenez, 30, is 1-2 with one save, a 3.04 ERA, 18 walks and 21 strikeouts in 23 relief appearances this season. He is 4-8 with 13 saves and a 3.38 ERA in 84 games (one start) for the San Francisco Giants (2020) and Athletics (2022-present) in his career.
