Brewers Video
Brewers shortstop Willy Adames has been sent to the 10-day Injured List for a high ankle sprain he received on May 15th while attempting to score on a sacrifice fly. The move is retroactive to the following day, May 16th.
The injury is a significant blow to Milwaukee's offense, as Adames has a league-leading nine home runs and an OPS+ of 117. He has been a fixture of the middle of the Brewers order since he arrived via trade last season and outside of Yelich, is perhaps the most important offensive piece if the team makes a deep postseason run in 2022.
Recalled is much-maligned infielder Keston Hiura, who struggled with contact early in 2022, striking out in nearly 50% of his plate appearances.
High ankle sprains are tricky and particularly hard on infielders who rely on twitch reflexes and planting to pivot and dive for balls. It's very possible Adames could miss significantly more time than ten days, which puts the Brewers in a difficult position until his return.
