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.

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.

Making Brewers debut Adames is batting sixth and playing shortstop Saturday against the Reds, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Adames begins his Brewers career one day after being dealt by the Rays, with whom he spent his first 3+ MLB seasons. A defensively-sound shortstop, the 25-year-old figures to take the reins from the error-prone Luis Urias and be an everyday staple at the position for Milwaukee.

Rays trade Willy Adames to Brewers Relievers Drew Rasmussen and J.P. Feyerisen are the return; next question is what Rays do at shortstop.

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.

MAY 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

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.

MAY 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Saturday Adames isn't starting Saturday against the Athletics.

Impact Adames has gone 3-for-14 with a run, a walk and nine strikeouts in his last four games. Joey Wendle will shift to shortstop while Yandy Diaz plays third base and Yoshi Tsutsugo starts at first base.

MAY 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Goes deep, scores twice Adames went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, a double and two runs scored in Monday's 7-3 win over the Angels.

Impact Adames knocked a double and came around to score as part of a four-run third inning. He then took Jose Quintana deep the next inning for his third homer of the season and first since April 12. The 25-year-old shortstop entered Monday in a 2-for-31 slump over his last 10 games.

MAY 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting again Tuesday Adames is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Impact Now on the bench for the second time in three days, Adames may be at risk of moving into more of a part-time role in light of his rough start to the season. After an 0-for-3 showing in Monday's 2-1 loss, Adames is now sitting on a .183/.227/.338 slash line and 30.7 percent strikeout rate through 75 plate appearances. Joey Wendle will cover shortstop Tuesday and bat fifth.

APRIL 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Gets Sunday off Adames is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Impact Adames will be getting a maintenance day after going 4-for-18 with a triple and a stolen base while starting each of the past five games at shortstop. Joey Wendle will shift over from third base to cover Adames' usual spot in the infield.

Productive in Monday's win Adames went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Monday's 4-1 win over the Royals.

Impact The bottom of the order did most of the damage for the Rays in this one, as the trio of Joey Wendle, Adames and Kevin Kiermaier combined for five hits, four runs and two RBI. The steal was Adames' first of the year, but perhaps more importantly, he didn't strike out -- the first time he's avoided fanning in a start since April 3. On the season, the shortstop has a shaky .204/.232/.370 slash line with two homers, four RBI and six runs through 17 games.

APRIL 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Takes seat Sunday Adames is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Adames will sit out for the second time in four games while he remains in a prolonged slump at the plate. Over the Rays' last seven contests, Adames has gone 2-for-24 with 11 strikeouts, dropping his season average to .180. Adames could end up ceding more work at shortstop to Joey Wendle -- and eventually, top prospect Wander Franco -- if he struggles to get going at the plate in his future starts.
