Article: Willy Adames Back for Milwaukee

[TL Schwerz]

After hitting the injured list roughly three weeks ago with a high-ankle sprain, Milwaukee Brewers starting shortstop Willy Adames returned to the starting lineup last night. Pablo Reyes was optioned to Triple-A Nashville making room on the active roster.

Prior to last night's game, Willy Adames last appeared for the Brewers on May 15. He was lifted in that game during the 2nd inning due to the injury that would ultimately cost him just under of a month of time. Returning to a .766 OPS, Milwaukee was understandably excited to get back a bat that had been a contributor in their lineup.

Facing the Philadelphia Phillies last night, Adames went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. An understandable amount of rust is going to be there missing that much live action, but Adames will be looking to get back in the groove. Already just one home run shy of double-digits on the season, Milwaukee's shortstop could threaten the career best 25 he put up last season.

Pablo Reyes got in just four games while filling in on the Brewers infield, and he went 4-for-14 in game action. Reyes returns to a .794 OPS at Triple-A Nashville and should again be ready if there's a need to fill an infield spot on the left side for Milwaukee.
