Willy Adames DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

San Francisco Giants shortstop Willy Adames went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double, a walk, and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 10-6 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 29-year-old launched his fifth home run of the season in the fifth inning and added a double in the eighth. The strong showing raised his OPS to .671, as Adames is now slashing .225/.304/.367 across 43 games this season. He will look to stay hot in an afternoon matchup against Eduardo Rodriguez and the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

San Francisco Giants shortstop Willy Adames has been dropped to the sixth spot in the batting order for Monday's series opener against the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks and right-hander Merrill Kelly at Oracle Park. Adames has hit slightly better in the month of May to the tune of a .244/.311/.439 slash line with two home runs, two doubles, four RBI and seven runs scored in 10 games, but overall the 29-year-old has been a disappointment both offensively and defensively in his first 41 games for the Gigantes. He comes into Monday's contest batting .217 (35-for-161) with four long balls, 19 RBI, 23 runs and two stolen bases in his 182 plate appearances. The good news is he has hit .368 with a 1.084 OPS, two home runs and three RBI in 19 career at-bats against Kelly, so Adames could end up being a nice DFS sleeper on Monday night.

San Francisco Giants shortstop Willy Adames went 3-for-5 with a double and two home runs in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Colorado Rockies. He scored twice and drove in three while striking out twice. The 25-year-old has been heating up in recent days after starting the season off on the slower side. Adames' homers were both solo shots, accounting for San Francisco's first runs of the game. In his next at-bat, he scorched a double to the gap in right-center, driving in his third run. All three of his knocks were hard-hit balls that exceeded 101.5 MPH. After just four extra-base hits through last Tuesday, the veteran shortstop has recorded five over his previous six games. He's also picked up three multi-hit efforts over that span.
