Sun Sep 1508:26Willy Adames Smacks Two Home Runs, Collects Five RBI
Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames went 3-for-3 with a walk, a pair of home runs, five RBI, and two runs scored in Saturday's 15-8 romp over the Diamondbacks. The first home run came in the second inning with the bases loaded and the grand slam gave the Brewers an 8-0 lead early. The second came two innings later, a solo shot that gave the team a 12-0 cushion. The 29-year-old is having arguably the best season of his career, putting together a .253-32-107-87-18 line with a .348 wOBA and 124 wRC+. He's currently the NL leader in the RBI category while the 32 home runs and 18 stolen bases are both career highs.

Sun Sep 809:30Willy Adames Homers Again, Steals Two Bases
Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames belted his 30th home run of the season in a 2-for-4 day at the plate during Saturday's 5-2 win over the Rockies. The 29-year-old also swiped a pair of bags in the contest, giving him 18 stolen bases on the season. It was the eighth home run in the last 13 games for the Dominican, and with 101 RBI on the season, he leads the National League in that category. After a poor month of June, the slugger was slashing .229/.321/.408, but has hit well ever since and now has the slashline up to a much more respectable .253/.335/.473 along with a .347 wOBA and 123 wRC+.

Wed Aug 700:31Willy Adames Collects Four Hits, Homers Twice Tuesday
Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames continued his strong offensive second half in Tuesday's 10-0 win over the Braves. Adames went 4-for-5 with two singles, a pair of two-run home runs, and a strikeout. The 28-year-old clobbered a first-inning Bryce Elder sinker into the center-field shrubs and tagged Elder again in the third inning, hitting a pitch into the center-field seats. Adames has had a strong second half after a middling first half and is now slashing .293/.369/.552 in 58 second-half at-bats. Adames is a must-start fantasy option when producing like this, especially if the Brewers continue to play strong baseball overall.

Tue Jul 2307:52Willy Adames Hits 16th Homer
Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames provided the only offense for the Brew Crew in Monday's 3-1 loss versus the division rival Chicago Cubs. Adames went 1-for-2 with two walks on the evening, but his one hit was a solo home run off Porter Hodge in the top of the eighth inning. The upcoming free-agent has been having a strong season as he looks to get paid this offseason and is now hitting .249 with 16 homers, 68 RBI and 12 stolen bases. He remains a secure option for managers up the middle and will look to keep it going on Tuesday when the Brewers square off versus Jameson Taillon.

Thu May 3000:17Willy Adames Clubs Ninth Homer Wednesday Night
Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames clubbed his ninth homer of the season of the two-run variety while going 2-for-3 with an RBI single and another run scored in a 10-6 win over the Chicago Cubs Wednesday night. Adames is currently riding an eight-game hit streak in which he's gone 12-for-31 with two home runs and 10 RBI. The 28-year-old has been productive out of the cleanup spot this season for the Brewers with his .255 batting average, nine home runs, and 39 RBI. That RBI total is tied for 10th in MLB this season. The hot-hitting shortstop will look to continue his hitting streak with matchups against the Chicago White Sox and Philadelphia Phillies to begin the month of June.

Tue May 2807:46Willy Adames Hits Go-Ahead Home Run On Monday
Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames went 2-for-4 at the plate with a three-run blast that powered the Brewers to victory in the opening game of the series. Adames now has eight home runs on the season with a solid .249/.322/.440 slash line, 35 RBI, and eight stolen bases. The 28-year-old is looking to put a disappointing season behind him and is already on pace to smash last year's totals. Under the hood, Adames has an above-average barrel rate, xSLG, hard-hit rate, and walk rate, which are great signs that he could be in for a big summer. He is expected to continue to serve as the everyday shortstop in Milwaukee and consistently bat in the cleanup spot, setting him up for prime RBI opportunities batting behind Christian Yelich and William Contreras. Adames remains a solid shortstop and middle infield option in all standard leagues.

Wed May 100:21Willy Adames Homers, Plates Four Tuesday
Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames had a nice game at the plate in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Rays. Adames went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run, four RBI, and a walk. The 28-year-old has had a solid offensive start to the season, slashing .270/.369/.441 with four HR, 17 RBI, and four stolen bases in 130 plate appearances. Power has always been in his repertoire, but Adames' fantasy value could jump even higher if he can maintain a decent batting average while peppering in some steals.

Mon Mar 2509:06Willy Adames Hits Three Dingers
Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames had a huge game in Sunday's Cactus League matchup versus the Arizona Diamondbacks. Adames went 3-for-3 with four runs and three home runs. The homers would knock in all of his six RBI on the day. The 28-year-old was the subject of trade rumors this offseason, but stuck with the Brewers and has had a huge spring with a .317 batting average to accompany six homers and 15 RBI. Adames has seen a dip in his batting average over the past two seasons, but the power remains there with 24 or more homers in the past three seasons. An upcoming free-agent, Adames is motivated to get that big pay day and his hot start in the spring makes him an intriguing bounce back candidate.

Wed Mar 609:20Willy Adames Triples In Loss
Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames went 1-for-3 in Tuesday's Cactus League loss versus the San Francisco Giants. His lone hit was a triple and he also knocked in one run. Adames was a name that was and is rumored to be available as he has an expiring contract after this season. The 28 year-old had an odd 2023 campaign with a weak .217 batting average, but serviceable in the power department with 24 homers and 80 RBI. Adames is a career .251 hitter, so his batting average should improve from last season to go along with his power numbers. He makes for an intriguing late-round, bounce back candidate with an ADP of 189 heading into the season.

Mon Nov 20 202322:00Dodgers Could Look To Land Corbin Burnes, Willy Adames
One executive has speculated that the Los Angeles Dodgers could make an attempt to land both Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Corbin Burnes and shortstop Willy Adames in the same deal this offseason. Both Burnes and Adames are eligible for free agency next offseason. The Dodgers are fully expected to pursue starting pitching in the offseason with Walker Buehler (elbow) coming off Tommy John surgery and with Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) on the open market. LA is likely to pursue both Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Shohei Ohtani (elbow), the two big-ticket free-agent options this winter, but Ohtani won't be able to take the mound at all in 2024. The Brewers are heading into a rebuilding phase and are listening on all of their players.

Adames has shown much power recently, homering in three of the Brewers' last four contests, and he now has 21 dingers in 435 at-bats in 2023.

Tue Aug 8 202318:52Willy Adames Remains Out On Tuesday
Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames remains out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. This is the second day in a row that Adames hasn't been in the lineup. It doesn't sound like he's dealing with an injury. Instead, Brice Turang will cover shortstop, while Andruw Monasterio plays second base versus left-hander Kyle Freeland. Adames is hitting .201/.286/.376 with 17 home runs and 48 RBI in 103 games this season. This appears to be a matchup move with Adams struggling at the plate right now.

Mon Aug 7 202318:33Willy Adames On The Bench Monday
Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames is not in the starting lineup Monday night against the Colorado Rockies and right-hander Peter Lambert. The 27-year-old's tough season continued in Sunday's series finale against the Pirates as Adames went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in his club's 4-1 defeat. While he's offered some pop with 17 home runs on the season, Adames is hitting just .201 with a .662 OPS across 443 trips to the plate. He also has just three hits across six games and 26 trips to the plate since the calendar flipped to August. Bryce Turang will take over at shortstop and hit seventh in the series opener with the Rockies Monday night.

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames finished 4-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI in Friday's 7-1 win over the Cleveland Guardians. The 27-year-old smacked the ball all over the yard in this one, also contributing a double off the centerfield wall which almost left the park. Since Adames last went deep on June 7, he was mired in a rough 8-for-46 skid with just two RBI over his previous 12 games this month. The slugging infielder halted that slump with a massive showing in this one and fantasy managers hope it gets him cooking. With room for improvement, Adames is slashing .216/.294/.398 with 12 big flies, 34 RBI, and four stolen bases over 241 at-bats.

Fri Jun 2 202316:52Willy Adames Resumes Baseball Activities
Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames (concussion) will not join the team on the road against the Cincinnati Reds this weekend, but he is resuming baseball activities on Friday with High-A Wisconsin. The Brewers will make a decision at the end of the weekend about Adames' next steps. There's a chance that the 27-year-old won't need to go on a minor-league rehab assignment, so fantasy managers could be getting him back at some point early next week. He was put on the seven-day concussion injured list last Saturday after getting hit by a foul ball in the dugout. Adames is hitting a disappointing .205 (38-for-185) through 51 games, but he does have nine home runs, 27 RBI and four stolen bases.
