WILLY ADAMES NEWS

Back in lineup Wednesday Adames is back in the Brewers' lineup Wednesday versus the Rockies.

Impact Adames was given the previous two days off as a bit of a mental break while he battles through a slump at the plate. He's back at his normal shortstop position Wednesday and will bat fifth against Rockies starter Chris Flexen.

Sitting again Tuesday Adames isn't in the Brewers' lineup Tuesday against the Rockies.

Impact Adames has started at shortstop for the vast majority of Milwaukee's games this season, but after Adames put up a .201 batting average and .662 OPS through 103 games, manager Craig Counsell decided to give Adames a mental break. The 27-year-old will miss his second straight contest Tuesday, allowing Brice Turang to start at shortstop, Andruw Monasterio at second and Brian Anderson in the hot corner.

Will not start Monday Adames is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

Impact Adames has started every game since being activated from the 7-day injured list June 7, but he has posted a meager .484 OPS since the All-Star break, and manager Craig Counsell decided it was the right time for a mental break. Brice Turang will man the shortstop position for the Brewers on Monday night.

Belts two more homers in loss Adames went 2-for-5 with a pair of home runs and three RBI in Saturday's loss to the Reds.

Impact Adames provided the bulk of Milwaukee's offense in the contest, tagging Luke Weaver for a solo homer in the first inning and a two-run shot in the third. The shortstop has found his power stroke of late, swatting four homers and driving in eight runs over his past four games. His overall slash line still sits at just .213/.294/.415, but with 16 long balls before the All-Star break, Adames has a shot at a second consecutive 30-homer campaign.

Goes deep in win Adames went 2-for-5 with a homer, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's win against the Reds.

Impact Adames doubled in a run in the first inning before ripping a two-run shot in the fifth. It's been a tough year for the slugging shortstop but he's starting to come around lately; after an 0-for-22 slump, Adames has gone 10-for-33 (.303) with seven extra-base hits and nine RBI over his last eight games. However, his season slash line still sits at .209/.293/.395 through 338 plate appearances.

Swats homer in loss Adames went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday in a loss to the Cubs.

Impact Adames broke a 1-1 tie with a solo shot in the sixth inning. For awhile it looked like that would hold up as the game-winner, but a ninth-inning Chicago comeback turned the outcome around. The long ball was Adames' first since June 23, a span of 12 games. It also extended his modest hitting streak to six contests, during which he's batting .308 with five extra-base hits and five RBI.

Homers twice, drives in five Adames went 4-for-5 with a double, two homers and five total RBI in Friday's 7-1 win over the Guardians.

Impact The 27-year-old started the scoring with an RBI single in the opening frame and followed up with homers in the sixth and ninth innings to power Milwaukee's offense. Adames entered Friday's contest with a .529 OPS, one homer and two RBI in 13 games since returning from a concussion June 7, so the offensive outburst was a welcome sight. The performance improved his season slash line to .216/.294/.398, and he now has 12 long balls, 34 RBI and 34 runs through 65 games.

Impact Adames is slated to serve as Wisconsin's designated hitter Sunday in what will be his first game action since he sustained a concussion after being struck by a line drive off the bat of teammate Brian Anderson while he was spectating in the dugout in a May 26 game against the Giants. The 27-year-old has seemingly made strong progress in his recovery over the past week and a half, and heading out on a rehab assignment marks the final hurdle he'll need to clear before being activated. Assuming Adames experiences no setbacks coming out of Sunday's contest, he'll shift his rehab assignment to Triple-A Nashville, where he's expected to make starts at shortstop Tuesday and Wednesday.
