Impact Adames took a 2-0 cutter from Graham Ashcraft deep to left-center in the third inning for his 22nd home run of the season. Sunday's effort was indicative of his season as a whole, as with the 1-for-5 effort, Adames is now hitting .220 but is second in home runs among shortstops, only to Corey Seager. Despite the low average, Adames' power and position atop the Brewers lineup make him a top option at the position.

After a five-game hit streak ended on July 25, the shortstop has struggled to get things going again, as he has six hits in his last 30 at-bats. Adames also has 10 strikeouts during that span. Even though he is batting .222 on the year, the penchant for hitting home runs is enough to keep him relevant in fantasy baseball.
