Former Angels top-prospect Jo Adell will begin the 2021 season at the team’s alternate site before transitioning to triple-A. The Halos announced on Sunday that Adell is one of four players who were cut from spring camp. Infielder Matt Thaiss, right-hander Kyle Keller, and left-hander Jose Suarez were the other players optioned.
Adell came into camp looking to improve on a short rookie campaign in 2020. Last summer, Adell slashed .161/.212/.266 with three home runs and seven RBI with 55 strikeouts in 38 games.
