The paceman made a last-minute withdrawal from the side ahead of the club's clash with East Ballarat a week ago.
He was replaced by batsman Shean Vanderwert, who will suit up again in the firsts on Saturday.
"We backed the bowling outside of Adam and brought in a batsman to replace him," North Ballarat coach Darren Wilson said.
The Roosters will enter Saturday's clash on a high after overcoming East Ballarat to hand it its first loss of the season.
Wilson expected a competitive encounter.
"They've got a balanced team so hopefully our boys carry over their form and put up a good fight," he said.
At the other end, Ballarat-Redan will welcome back fast bowler Sam Hope, who has taken 10 wickets in three weeks of action in the seconds.
Elsewhere Brown Hill will search for its second win of the season against defending premier Darley at Darley Park.
Teenage talent Siddharth Rajesh will make his debut for the Bulls in place of Carter Horsley, who is unavailable to play.
Meanwhile the Lions will welcome opener Anthony Taylor back into the team, however they might be without top order bat Ryan Ali for a second consecutive game.
