Brewers Place Willy Adames On Injured List, Recall Tim Lopes

By Darragh McDonald | September 5, 2021 at 11:22am CDT

The Brewers have placed shortstop Willy Adames on the injured list with a left quad strain, per a team announcement. Utility player Tim Lopes has been recalled to take his spot on the active roster.

The move isn’t entirely surprising as Adames has been hampered by this quad issue for a few weeks and left last night’s game early. The club can afford to be cautious, given their 10-game lead in the NL Central. The health of Adames in the upcoming playoffs is surely more important than his health at the moment, making it perfectly logical for the Brewers to give him some time to rest.

Since coming over to Milwaukee from Tampa in a rare early-season trade, Adames has been a huge reason why the club is so comfortable in the standings right now. Though his line for the Rays this year was a paltry .197/.254/.371, his line as a Brewer is .294/.375/.529, producing a wRC+ of 141 and 3.6 fWAR. The club will surely be focussed on making sure his bat is in the lineup come October.

Luis Urias is starting at shortstop today and figures to get the bulk of the playing there in the absence of Adames. In 427 plate appearances this year, Urias is hitting .252/.338/.451, for a wRC+ of 111.

For Lopes, it’s been a bounce-around season for him, as he’s been optioned to the minors a couple times as well as having a couple of stints on the injured list. Because of that, he’s only played five games for the big league team this year. In 84 Triple-A games, he has a slash line of .224/300/.400, while splitting time between second base, third base and the outfield corners.

    We should have brought up Bryce Turang from the minors! Still developing as a hitter but a great fielder! A former First round pick out of HS This is an example of how the Brewers fail to develop non pitching talent in the minors! Give him a chance! He is ready!

      Why? He is definitely not ready. He looked good in AA… but once he hit AAA he’s looked to have struggled a bit. I think he could get called up at some point next season… but not this year. I would gladly take pitching development over non pitching if I had to choose.

          I only disagree for this reason. Yes his fielding is stellar, BUT if he is brought up too early, and his fielding is great but his hitting isn’t ready, and he hits say, .077 or .150 and his confidence takes a bad hit, that’s not a good thing either. I’m NOT saying it would happen, but it’s possible and many young minor league “stars” have hit a early snag, or a snafu, and poof confidence shot and they never fully recover. There is also a argument that players get coddled and they wait too long. So this is one I might err on the side of caution. Again no disrespect.
