"It took a lot longer than I expected," said Adams. "When it first happened I thought I would be back around the All-Star Game, but obviously that didn't work out the way I wanted it to. But it's coming around. It's starting to really feel better. I changed my delivery a little bit and that seems to have taking a lot of pressure off my shoulder. It's working right now. I can tell my shoulder is getting stronger and stronger every time I'm on the mound. I'm bouncing back pretty good. It's going a lot better than I expected."
