Tyler Adcock: Everything you need to know

The Padres optioned Adcock to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday. Adcock failed to win an Opening Day roster spot in a deep Padres bullpen, despite letting in just one earned run on four hits and no walks over his four innings in Cactus League play. The 29-year-old righty has seen limited big-league action over the past three seasons between stops with the Mariners and Mets, logging a 5.48 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 19:4 K:BB in 23 innings.

The Padres signed Adcock to a one-year contract Thursday. Adcock got into three games with the Mets in 2025 but spent most of the season at Triple-A Syracuse, where he posted a 4.66 ERA and 35:14 K:BB over 36.2 frames. The right-handed reliever does not have minor-league options remaining and has previously been outrighted, so he'd seem to be a good bet to be part of the Padres' Opening Day bullpen.

The Mets outrighted Adcock to Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday. Adcock is now off the 40-man roster, clearing a spot for Jonah Tong, who will be called up to make his major-league debut Friday versus the Marlins. The 28-year-old Adcock has made three appearances in the big leagues this season, allowing one run while striking out five over three frames.
