Willy Adames

Willy Adames had the second-most home runs by a shortstop (31) in 2022, finishing only two behind Corey Seager for the lead. He went 8-for-11 in stolen bases, scored 83 runs, and tallied 98 RBI. So why isn't he begin drafted higher than his current ADP of 101? His batting average was .238 which perfectly matched his xBA. He did cut down on his strikeout rate, but he can be something of a free swinger. Still, in leagues with an SS and MI slot, fantasy managers can do a lot worse than a 30/10 guy in the ninth round.

Willy Adames not in starting lineup Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday versus the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Fantasy Impact

The Brewers were eliminated from postseason contention thanks to Sunday's loss to the Marlins, factoring into Adames starting Tuesday's game on the bench. Despite hitting 31 home runs on the season, Adames failed to record a multi-hit effort over his last 12 games. Luis Urias shifts to shortstop in Adames' place, hitting fourth in the Brewers' lineup.
