MLB Power Rankings: Yankees still on top, Mariners move into top 10

Belts 17th homer Adames went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 4-3 win over the Pirates on Friday.

Impact Adames went deep for his 17th home run of the season to help power the Brewers to victory. The 26-year-old shortstop is slashing a meager .167/.286/.333 with only four hits in July. Despite struggling to make contact and get on base this year, Adames is well on pace to set career highs in home runs and RBI.

Drills grand slam Adames went 2-for-6 with a grand slam, three runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's 19-2 victory over the Pirates.

Impact Adames reached base on a fielder's choice in the second inning before swiping a bag and scoring on a Rowdy Tellez homer. He singled and scored again in the fourth before capping off his day with a monster grand slam in the eighth. It's been a streaky season for Adames, who is now slashing .215/.283/.480 with 16 home runs, 45 RBI and 40 runs scored. Over his last 18 games, the 26-year-old shortstop has gone 20-for-77 (.260) with 11 extra-base hits and 19 strikeouts.

Productive day at plate Adames went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI single and two runs scored in Sunday's victory over the Blue Jays.

Impact Adames sent Jonathan Davis home on a single in the second inning, then came around to score later in the inning on a Rowdy Tellez homer. Adames later reached home on a Luis Urias sac fly. The shortstop has a hit in back-to-back games and in eight of his last 10 games. Adames improved his batting average to .216 after the three-hit performance.

Scores twice in win Adames went 1-for-4 with an RBI single and two runs scored in Saturday's win over Toronto.

Impact Adames scored on a Tyrone Taylor single in the first and an Andrew McCutcheon homer in the second, just after sending Keston Hiura home on an RBI single of his own. The shortstop has been productive lately, with an RBI in three straight games. Adames has a hit in seven of his last nine games, but also has struck out 11 times during that span, giving him a .206 batting average on the season.

JUNE 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Belts 15th long ball Adames went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 6-4 win against the Cardinals on Thursday.

Impact Adames hit one of two Milwaukee homers in the contest, slugging a solo shot off Dakota Hudson in the fifth inning. The shortstop has gone deep five times in his past 11 games and has notched 11 RBI over that span. He is tied with Corey Seager for the league lead in homers among shortstops with 15 on the season.

JUNE 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out of lineup Wednesday Adames isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Adames is in the midst of a five-game hitting streak in which he's hit .273 with three homers, a double, five RBI and three runs. However, he'll get a breather while Luis Urias starts at shortstop while Keston Hiura enters the lineup at second base.

JUNE 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Reclaims team home-run lead Adames went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Cardinals.

Impact Adames' first-inning blast off Jack Flaherty was his 14th of the season, breaking a tie with Hunter Renfroe for the team lead in home runs. Though he hasn't been lacking in power since returning from the injured list June 8 (five home runs, three doubles in 13 games), Adames could stand to show a more refined plate approach. He's batting only .218 and has drawn one walk against 15 strikeouts since being activated from the IL.

JUNE 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Homers in back-to-back games Adames went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run Saturday in the Brewers' 7-3 win over the Reds.

Impact The 26-year-old has now popped home runs in consecutive games to begin the series in Cincinnati and has six extra-base hits in his 10 contests since returning from the 10-day injured list earlier this month. He'll start at shortstop and bat second in Sunday's series finale.

JUNE 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Productive in win Adames went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the Mets.

Impact Adames did most of his damage in the fifth inning. He opened the frame with a single, scored on a bases-loaded walk by Victor Caratini, and then added a two-run single in his second trip to the plate. With five hits -- including three for extra bases -- in his last three games, Adames is starting to show up on offense more. He's batting .208/.292/.465 with 11 homers, 30 RBI, 28 runs scored, eight doubles and a stolen base through 178 plate appearances this year.

JUNE 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Drives in three runs Adames went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Sunday's 4-1 win over Washington.

Impact Adames provided most of Milwaukee's offense Sunday, knocking an RBI double in the third inning before taking Evan Lee deep for a two-run shot in the fifth. He's now 3-for-20 with two homers since returning from the injured list. Sunday was his first multi-hit performance since May 5 and it bumped his season slash line to .200/.290/.467 with 28 RBI and 18 extra-base hits.

JUNE 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Makes return from IL The Brewers reinstated Adames (ankle) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday. He'll start at shortstop and bat second in the Brewers' game against the Phillies.

Impact Milwaukee optioned utility man Pablo Reyes to Triple-A Nashville to clear a spot on the 26-man active roster for Adames, who had been sidelined since mid-May with a left high-ankle sprain. Adames checked out fine following a recent three-game rehab assignment at Nashville, so he'll be in the clear to reclaim an everyday role at shortstop. Luis Urias is expected to slide back over to third base as a result, while Jace Peterson will transition into a utility gig.

Set to return Wednesday Adames (ankle/quadriceps) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Impact It was previously reported Adames was poised to be reinstated for Tuesday's series opener versus the Phillies, but manager Craig Counsell said the team wants to give the shortstop an extra day to make sure he's fully healthy. The 27-year-old also indicated he feels 100 percent healthy, so it appears the delayed activation is simply a precautionary move from the Brewers.

MLB Power Rankings: Yankees, Mets make New York the king of baseball

After missing three weeks, Brewers shortstop Willy Adames has a return date from injury Adames will fly back to Milwaukee on Saturday with hopes of returning to the active roster soon.

JUNE 4, 2022 • JSONLINE.COM

Expected to return Tuesday Adames (ankle/quadriceps) is expected to be reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's series opener against the Phillies, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Adames concluded his rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville on Friday and is expected to rejoin the Brewers on Saturday. However, manager Craig Counsell said that the shortstop isn't expected to be activated until Tuesday. The 26-year-old hasn't played for Milwaukee since May 15 due to a left ankle sprain, and he faced a minor setback in his rehab process due to quad soreness. However, he should reclaim his job as the Brewers' everyday shortstop once he's officially activated.

JUNE 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to Triple-A Lineup Adames (ankle/quadriceps) is starting Thursday's game at Triple-A Nashville, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

Impact Adames missed the last two games in Nashville due to quad soreness, but he'll start at shortstop and bat second Thursday. If the 26-year-old feels good after returning to game action, he'll likely be in the mix to rejoin the Brewers during their weekend series against San Diego.

Quad issue crops up Adames (ankle) isn't in the lineup for Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday after experiencing discomfort in his right quadriceps during his first rehab game, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com repo...

Impact The 26-year-old went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and a walk during his first rehab appearance Sunday, but he apparently picked up the quad issue and won't play Tuesday. Nashville has a scheduled day off Wednesday, and Adames is expected to be back on the field for Thursday's contest, so the injury doesn't appear to be a serious concern.

MAY 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Shifting rehab to Triple-A Adames (ankle) is scheduled to make his second rehab appearance Monday at Triple-A Nashville, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact As a test of the health of Adames' sprained left ankle, the Brewers plan to have him play consecutive days in the minors before bringing him back from the 10-day injured list. He made a successful return to action at Single-A Carolina on Sunday, when he served as a designated hitter and went 1-for-2 with a home run and a walk. If Adames starts at shortstop Monday and comes out of the rehab game no worse for the wear, he could rejoin the Brewers for Tuesday's game in Chicago against the Cubs.

MAY 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starts up rehab assignment Adames (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment at Low-A Carolina on Sunday.

Impact Adames hasn't played since May 15 due to a left ankle sprain, but he looks to be on the cusp of a return from the 10-day injured list now that he's been cleared to suit up for the Brewers' Low-A affiliate. The team hasn't indicated whether Adames will require additional rehab games to begin the upcoming week, but the Brewers will presumably see how his ankle feels coming out of Sunday's action before determining his next steps. Assuming Adames is cleared to come off the IL within the next few days, he would take back everyday duties at shortstop, with Luis Urias sliding back over to third base and Jace Peterson moving into a bench role as a result.

MAY 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Brandon Woodruff's next start in question, while Willy Adames heads out on a rehab assignment The good news is the right-hander's ankle injury still isn't considered serious. Plus, the Brewers' shortstop isn't far away from returning.

MAY 28, 2022 • JSONLINE.COM

Won't return this weekend Adames (ankle) participating in batting practice and fielding grounders Tuesday but won't be activated during the upcoming four-game series in St. Louis, which begins Thursday, Cur...

Impact The 26-year-old recently said he was optimistic about being activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Thursday, but he'll be sidelined at least a few more days as he returns from a sprained left ankle. The fact Adames continue to ramp up his baseball activities is an encouraging sign, so he could be back for Monday's series opener against the Cubs.

Impact Since landing on the IL on Wednesday due to the high left ankle sprain, Adames has been able to do some hitting and straight-line running without pain, but the Brewers want to ensure he has regained full lateral movement before activating him. Adames is scheduled to run the bases Tuesday, and if all goes well, he could test out his lateral movement in the field Wednesday. Even if being ready to go for Thursday's game proves to be too ambitious, Adames would still have a shot at returning later in the weekend in St. Louis.
