Willy Adames Fantasy Stats

San Francisco Giants shortstop Willy Adames (lower body) is starting at shortstop and will bat sixth on Friday against the Chicago Cubs and right-hander Javier Assad, according to MLB.com. Adames ended up missing just one game with a lower-body injury, but he is back in action for the series opener against Chicago after a scheduled day off on Thursday. The 30-year-old Dominican has been streaky this year and is batting only .234 (63-for-269) in 67 games with 11 home runs, 29 RBI, 34 runs scored, and one stolen base. Adames is still useful for his power at the shortstop position, and he has three home runs in nine games in June, but he's also hitting just .176 (6-for-34) during the month with a double, six RBI, six runs scored, five walks, and 12 strikeouts in 39 plate appearances. He has faced Assad just six times in his MLB career and is batting .167 against him with a .542 OPS, no home runs, and no RBI.

San Francisco Giants shortstop Willy Adames (lower body) is sitting out for just the second time all year on Wednesday against the Washington Nationals due to some lower-body pain that he felt on Tuesday, manager Tony Vitello told John Shea of The San Francisco Standard. When asked for a specific area of pain, Vitello said, "knee to hip." It doesn't sound like a serious issue, so with a scheduled day off on Thursday as well, Adames could be back for Friday's series opener at Oracle Park against the Chicago Cubs. Casey Schmitt, who is having a breakout campaign for the Gigantes in 2026, is starting at shortstop and will bat leadoff on Wednesday in the series finale against Nationals left-hander Foster Griffin. The 30-year-old Adames has been a disappointment in his second year in the Bay Area after clubbing 30 homers and driving in 87 in 160 games last year, as he enters Wednesday's action with a .234/.281/.431 slash line with 11 homers, 29 RBI, and a 28.1% strikeout rate. Adames has gone hitless in his last four games and has gone 6-for-34 (.176) with three homers, a double, six RBI, and six runs in nine games so far in June.

San Francisco Giants shortstop Willy Adames continued to swing a hot bat in the 18-3 blowout win over the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on Friday, going 2-for-2 at the plate with two home runs, four RBI, four runs scored, and two walks to raise his season batting average to .250 and his OPS to .756. It was an impressive day for San Fran's offense at the friendly confines of Wrigley, as Adames, Matt Chapman, and Casey Schmitt all had two-homer days -- just the third time in franchise history that has been accomplished. The 30-year-old Adames is now hitting .250/.296/.460 on the year with 11 home runs, 29 RBI, 34 runs scored, and a stolen base in 63 games across 270 plate appearances in his second year with the Gigantes. Like most Giants hitters, Adames got off to a slow start in 2026, but he has turned things around recently, going 17-for-56 (.304) with six home runs, four doubles, a triple, 14 RBI, and 15 runs scored in his last 14 games. Eight of his 11 homers on the year have come in his last 17 games, a stretch in which he's gone 19-for-64 (.297).

San Francisco Giants shortstop Willy Adames (thumb) is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks and right-hander Ryne Nelson at Chase Field and will bat fifth in the lineup, according to MLB.com. Adames was pulled from Monday night's loss early as a precaution after suffering a bruised right thumb when he was hit by a ground ball, but he'll be right back in there the next day. The 30-year-old Dominican is hitting just .238 (45-for-189) with four home runs, 14 RBI, 18 runs scored, and a stolen base in 47 games so far this year, but he has gone 15-for-37 (.405) with a homer, three doubles, eight RBI, and four runs scored in nine games since May 10. Fantasy managers will hope that Adames can continue to produce in a matchup against Nelson, who has also been much better on the mound recently.

San Francisco Giants shortstop Willy Adames (hand) was pulled from Monday's game early against the hosting Arizona Diamondbacks after committing an error in the bottom of the fifth inning and taking a ground ball off of his right hand, according to The San Jose Mercury News' Justice delos Santos. Before injuring his hand, Adames had a solo home run (his fourth of the year) and a walk before Casey Schmitt shifted from left field to shortstop. Fantasy managers should consider the 30-year-old Dominican to be day-to-day heading into Game 2 of the series at Chase Field on Tuesday. Adames, like many other Giants hitters this year, has been a major disappointment, as he entered Monday's game in Arizona with a .234/.265/.356 slash line, .622 OPS, three homers, 13 RBI, 17 runs, and a stolen base in his first 46 games. Adames reached the 30-homer mark for the second straight season and the third time in the last four years in 2025, but he also hit just .225 (133-for-591) over 160 games played. Schmitt would most likely take over at the 6 going forward in San Fran if Adames' injury requires an extended absence.

San Francisco Giants shortstop Willy Adames is off to a brutal start to the 2026 season. Entering play on Tuesday, the 30-year-old was hitting .209/.242/.342 with three home runs, eight RBI, 14 runs scored, and one stolen base across 165 plate appearances. Adames has been one of the more consistent players in baseball in recent years, recording at least 30 homers and 87 RBI in three out of four seasons between 2022 and 2025. While there's still time for Adames to pull out of his current slump, the underlying numbers suggest that he may be suffering from more than just tough luck at the plate. Adames' 7.3% barrel rate is his lowest mark since his rookie season in 2018. He also owns just a 3.6% walk rate, significantly below the 11.7% mark he posted in 2025. Adames is in the second year of a seven-year contract with San Francisco, so he'll be given every opportunity to turn things around. Still, fantasy managers looking to buy low on Adames may want to proceed with caution.

San Francisco Giants shortstop Willy Adames will hit leadoff for a third straight game on Wednesday following his four-hit performance at the top of the order on Tuesday. The right-handed slugger is now riding a three-game hit streak and is 6-for-20 (.300) through five games, including a double, a home run, two RBI, and two runs scored. He's also struck out six times (30 percent) and has yet to draw a walk. The Dominican has three 30-home run seasons in his last four and posted a career-best 127 wRC+ last year, so hopefully he can keep up the hot hitting, as there should be plenty of RBI and runs scored coming behind it, although the high strikeout rate tends to limit his batting average. Even so, he should be rostered in all fantasy leagues.

San Francisco Giants shortstop Willy Adames is back in the leadoff spot for the Gigantes for Tuesday night's game at Petco Park against the San Diego Padres and right-hander German Marquez, according to MLB.com. Adames went 1-for-4 out of the leadoff spot in Monday night's win over the Friars, the Giants' first win of the 2026 season. The 30-year-old Dominican infielder has just two hits in his first 15 plate appearances of the year through four games with no walks and six strikeouts, but he'll be a popular DFS choice atop the batting order against a pitcher that he's fared well against in his career. Adames has a .364 batting average and a 1.567 OPS with three home runs and five RBI against Marquez in 11 career at-bats. Tuesday's game will be just the fourth time that Adames has hit leadoff in his nine-year MLB career. With Adames at leadoff, infielder Luis Arraez will be one of the lightest-hitting cleanup men in the game for the second straight contest.

San Francisco Giants shortstop Willy Adames has been moved to the leadoff spot for the Giants for Monday's series opener at Petco Park against the San Diego Padres and right-hander Walker Buehler, according to MLB.com. It's time for the Giants to shake up their batting order as they head into the second series of the 2026 season after they mustered just one run in the season-opening series at home against the New York Yankees. The 30-year-old Adames will become a better DFS play out of the leadoff spot after hitting cleanup twice and sixth once in the first three games. It's an unfamiliar spot for Adames, as he has only hit leadoff twice since the start of the 2018 season. Adames will be looking for his first career hit against Buehler, whom he's gone 0-for-5 against previously. Like most of the Giants' hitters, Adames is off to a slow start at the plate, going 1-for-11 with five strikeouts in his first three games.

San Francisco Giants shortstop Willy Adames is struggling at the plate in spring training, going 4-for-37 (.108) with a homer, five RBI, two runs scored, a stolen base, two walks, and 13 strikeouts in 40 plate appearances over 13 Cactus League games. Adames was looking like a major bust in his first year in San Fran in 2025 in the first half of the season before ultimately bouncing back in the second half. The 30-year-old Dominican infielder hit a career-low .225 (133-for-591), but he did reach the 30-homer mark for the third time in the last four years and the fourth time in his career, adding 87 RBI, 94 runs scored, and 12 stolen bases in 686 plate appearances over 160 games played. Adames had a 30-20 season in 2024 in his final year in Milwaukee, but his overall upside could be capped while playing at pitcher-friendly Oracle Park. Still, Adames should provide a solid counting-stat floor as a low-end starting fantasy shortstop in mixed leagues, at worst.
