AUGUST 30, 2020 • Associated Press

Out of Wednesday's lineup Adames is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Orioles.

Impact This will be Adames' second day off in the last 15 games. He is hitting .333/.418/.688 with three home runs and zero steals over that stretch. Joey Wendle gets the start at shortstop and will bat third.

Launches third homer of 2020 Adames went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact Adames slugged a two-run homer to right field in the fourth inning, giving his club a 3-1 lead. In his third season of big-league action, the 24-year-old shortstop is slashing .295/.386/.534 with three home runs, 10 RBI and a stolen base through 28 games.

AUGUST 25, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Friday Adames is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Toronto.

Impact The Rays continue to rotate heavily around the diamond, though Adames has as close to an everyday role as anyone in Tampa, starting 23 of the first 27 games at shortstop. Joey Wendle starts at the position Friday.

AUGUST 21, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Key hit in win Adames went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in a win over the Yankees on Wednesday.

Impact Adames' eighth-inning single gave the Rays some key breathing room by extending their lead to 4-2. The young shortstop now has a nine-game on-base streak, a stretch during which he's raised his batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage by 60, 49 and 158 points to .293, .376 and .507, respectively.

AUGUST 20, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Crushes go-ahead homer Adames went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's win over Toronto.

Impact Adames turned on the first pitch he saw in the eighth inning to put the Rays up 7-5 with his second homer of the year. The 24-year-old shortstop has knocked six extra-base hits over the last five games, pushing his OPS up to .899.

AUGUST 17, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Slugs pair of doubles Adames went 2-for-4 with two doubles and a run in a loss to the Blue Jays on Friday.

Impact The hot-hitting shortstop was at it again during a sluggish night overall for the Rays offense. Adames now owns a five-game hitting streak, a stretch during which he's gone 8-for-17 with three doubles, one triple, one home run, thee RBI, two walks and six runs.

AUGUST 15, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

On base four times Adames went 3-for-5 with a walk, a double, two RBI and two runs scored Thursday against the Red Sox.

Impact Adames extended his hitting streak to four games and contributed to the Rays' offensive barrage in Boston. One day after clubbing his first home run of the season, Adames recorded his third multi-hit effort of the campaign. Across 64 plate appearances this season, Adames is hitting .286/.375/.482 with 12 runs scored and five RBI.

AUGUST 14, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Finally leaves yard in '20 Adames went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, his first round tripper of the season, in a win over the Red Sox on Wednesday.

Impact The 24-year-old's solo shot broke a season-opening 16-game power drought and served as his sixth extra-base hit of the campaign overall. The blast also extended Adames' modest hitting streak to three games, and fantasy managers can have some cautious optimism that the shortstop may be ready to break out on the power front. Through 58 plate appearances, Adames boasts a career-high 56.3 percent hard-contact rate that should lead to a few more balls leaving the yard if it persists.

AUGUST 13, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Monday Adames isn't in the lineup Monday against the Red Sox.

Impact Adames has gone just 1-for-16 with a double, one run and eight strikeouts over the past five games. In his absence Monday, Joey Wendle will take over at shortstop and bat fifth.

AUGUST 10, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Day off Tuesday Adames is not starting Tuesday against Boston, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact Adames sits for just the second time in the season's first 11 games. He owns a strong .919 OPS through 32 plate appearances. Joey Wendle takes over at shortstop.

AUGUST 4, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Swats timely two-bagger Renfroe went 1-for-3 with an RBI double and a walk in a loss to the Orioles on Friday.

Impact Renfroe's third-inning double brought home Willy Adames, giving the slugger his seventh RBI over the last three games. That tally actually constitutes Renfroe's season total overall, and he's still looking to capture his first hot streak of the campaign. The veteran outfielder has been putting plenty of good wood on the ball (44.4 percent hard contact), but he's been partly undone by a minuscule .188 BABIP that appears to at least partly stem from an unusually high 61.1 percent groundball rate.

AUGUST 1, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Gets first off day Adames will sit Tuesday against the Braves, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact Adames sits after starting each of the Rays' first four games. Joey Wendle will take over at shortstop.

Continues strong start Adames went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and a run in a win over the Braves on Monday.

Impact Several of his teammates popped much bigger hits, but Adames' performance was nevertheless encouraging. The shortstop is rewarding the Rays and his fantasy managers early, hitting safely in three of his first four games with a pair of doubles, two RBI, three walks, Monday's steal and two runs overall.

JULY 28, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Opens season with two-hit effort Adames went 2-for-3 with an RBI single and a walk in a loss to the Blue Jays on Friday.

Impact Adames' eighth-inning single brought the Rays to within two runs before the comeback stalled. The 24-year-old shortstop will look to build on a 2019 season that saw him take a step back in both batting average and on-base percentage but that also featured new career highs in home runs (20) and RBI (52).

JULY 25, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Dazzles in live BP Castillo was impressive in a live batting practice at Monday's summer camp workouts, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 26-year-old had already been working out at Tropicana Field prior to the start of summer camp, so his effective performance Monday wasn't necessarily surprising. Castillo faced Willy Adames and Kevin Kiermaier in the session, and manager Kevin Cash noted the right-hander looked "really, really crisp" while also remarking Adames was left wide-eyed in admiration at the reliever's stuff.

Ready for big season Alvarado, who struggled to a career-worst 4.80 ERA and 1.87 WHIP in 2019, feels highly confident he'll have a bounce-back year in 2020, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. "When he's...

Impact The hard-throwing southpaw was the picture of dominance in 2018 with a 2.39 ERA and 80 strikeouts across 64 innings, but a family matter in Venezuela last season led to a month-plus absence and essentially derailed Alvarado's campaign. However, the 25-year-old worked out diligently nearly every day during the recent shutdown, and he blew Cash away with his live batting practice session Saturday. Alvarado threw 15 pitches while facing Brandon Lowe and Willy Adames, and he reportedly landed all but one offering in the strike zone according to Cash.
