Willy Adames - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Posey expresses confidence in Adames despite down year The Giants made a massive commitment to shortstop Willy Adames when they signed him to a franchise-record $182 million deal in December 2024...

OCTOBER 10 • MLB.COM

Cleared for normal offseason Adames (elbow) has been cleared to go through his normal offseason workout routine, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Adames went down with a left (non-throwing) elbow sprain in late August, but he was ramping up workouts toward the end of the regular season and will not have any restrictions over the winter. The veteran shortstop put together a .230/.289/.424 batting line with 21 home runs over 121 games for the Giants this season.

Ramping up baseball activities Adames (elbow) intends to take batting practice and participate in fielding work Monday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact The Giants have been eliminated from postseason contention, but it doesn't appear as though Adames, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Aug. 24 due to a left elbow sprain, has been shut down for the season just yet. Following Monday's matchup, San Francisco will have five games remaining, so it's possible the star shortstop could return before the end of the campaign in an effort to end the year on a high note. However, it's not clear if the club would be willing to activate Adames with nothing left to play for.
