Another reliever domino has fallen ahead of the MLB trade deadline, with Jason Adam — a key member of the Rays’ bullpen since 2022 — getting sent to the Padres in exchange for Dylan Lesko, Homer Bush Jr. and J.D. Gonzalez, The Post’s Joel Sherman confirmed Sunday.

In 47 appearances this season, Adam has collected a 2.49 ERA with 50 walks and 16 strikeouts while operating in front of closer Pete Fairbanks.

He becomes the latest reliever to get dealt ahead of the July 30 deadline, too, with Angels closer Carlos Estevez getting moved to the Phillies on Saturday and Mariners reliever Ryne Stanek joining the Mets on Friday.

And that means for teams still in the market for a reliever, which reportedly includes the Yankees, their options have started to dwindle.

The Post’s Jon Heyman reported Saturday that the Yankees are one of six teams — along with the Orioles, Phillies, Dodgers, Diamondbacks and Mariners — pursuing star Marlins closer Tanner Scott, which would add to a bullpen that has been forced to navigate around the struggles of closer Clay Holmes and others.

Before their late-inning heroics Saturday in a win against the Red Sox, Michael Tonkin allowed two runs in the seventh that nearly lost the game for the Yankees until Trent Grisham tied the game with two outs — and a 2-2 count — in the ninth with an RBI double.

Heyman also reported Sunday that the Yankees have expressed interest in starting pitcher Blake Snell, though it’s unclear if the Giants would part with their starter who struck out 15 hitters in his most recent outing.
