Racks up four hits in loss Adames went 4-for-4 with four singles Wednesday in the Brewers' 7-3 loss to the Reds.

Impact Adames' efforts weren't enough for the Brewers to extend their winning streak to six games, but he's undoubtedly provided a much-needed spark to a Milwaukee offense that was struggling mightily prior to his acquisition May 21. Since debuting for Milwaukee a day later, the Brewers have gone 13-4, with Adames slashing an impressive .300/.382/.483 over that 17-game stretch. He'll be in the lineup for Thursday's series finale, manning shortstop and batting fifth.

Goes deep in win Adames went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-5 win over Arizona.

Impact The shortstop extended Milwaukee's lead to 5-2 in the sixth inning. Adames has settled in nicely since he was traded from Tampa Bay to Milwaukee. He's posted a .271/.364/.500 slash line in 14 games with his new team, adding three homers, 11 RBI and six runs scored.

Launches seventh homer Adames went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Tigers.

Impact His sixth-inning shot off Daniel Norris was his second homer as a Brewer and seventh of the season. Adames has caught fire since the trade from the Rays, hitting .324 (11-for-34) through 10 games for his new club with nine RBI.

MAY 31, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Delivers four hits, four RBI Adames went 4-for-5 with a home run and four RBI Thursday against the Brewers.

Impact Adames delivered a clutch three-run home run in the seventh inning to put the Brewers ahead. It was his first extra-base hit since being traded to Milwaukee on May 21 and debuting one day later. Adames should remain locked into regular playing time, but he will need to decrease his 33.1 percent strikeout rate to improve his .217/.283/.395 line across 166 plate appearances this season.

MAY 21, 2021 • TAMPABAY.COM

Shipped to Milwaukee Adames and Trevor Richards were acquired by the Brewers from the Rays on Friday in exchange for relievers J.P. Feyereisen and Drew Rasmussen, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Luis Urias has struggled defensively at shortstop since the departure of Orlando Arcia, prompting Milwaukee to explore the trade market. Adames has struggled at the plate so far in 2021 with a .625 OPS, but he posted a .755 OPS across his first three seasons in the big-leagues. He figures to take over the starting role at shortstop for the Brewers once he officially joins his new team.

MAY 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to bench Adames is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Adames will sit out the series finale after he went 5-for-15 with a home run, two doubles, five walks, five runs and four RBI while starting at shortstop in the Rays' previous five games. That represents one of the best stretches of the season for the 25-year-old, who is still sitting on a career-worst .197/.254/.371 batting line for the campaign. With multiple highly-regarded middle-infield prospects waiting in the wings at Triple-A Durham, Adames will need to continue to excel at the plate moving forward to ensure he holds down an everyday role for the balance of the season.

Launches two-run shot Adames went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Mets.

Impact Adames extended his hitting streak to three games and has reached base at least twice in all three of those contests. He's leaving behind a woeful stretch between May 1 and May 12 during which he hit only .206 across 34 at-bats. He also launched his fifth homer of the campaign, and the power display has been noticeable of late. He has connected on three of his five home runs during the current month.

MAY 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

On base thrice in win Adames went 1-for-3 with a two-run double, two walks and two runs in a win over the Mets on Saturday.

Impact It was an extremely rare taste of offensive success for Adames, who's slashing just .187/.237/.341 even when factoring in Saturday's productive day. The 25-year-old has shown some signs of life at the plate over the last 10 games by hitting .242 with two doubles, two home runs, six RBI and six runs during that span, but he's also struck out at a mammoth 48.6 percent in the sample.

MAY 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Thursday Adames isn't starting Thursday's game against the Yankees, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Impact Adames had gone hitless with five strikeouts in six at-bats across his last two games. Joey Wendle will shift to shortstop while Mike Brosseau starts at third base.

MAY 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Belts three-run homer Adames went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Athletics.

Impact Adames came up huge with a game-tying three-run shot in the fifth inning off Cole Irvin. Although the 25-year-old shortstop entered Sunday in a massive slump, this crucial homer might have earned him a spot in the lineup for Tuesday's homestand against the Yankees.
