The Milwaukee Brewers start a pivotal series against the rival St. Louis Cardinals tonight at American Family Field, and they will be welcoming back one of their most important offensive weapons just in time. Shortstop Willy Adames hasn’t played since September 4th while dealing with a biceps issue, but he has been activated and is in the lineup tonight against Jon Lester.
Since arriving in Milwaukee in May, Adames has been a revelation both offensively and on defense. He’s provided a steady glove at shortstop and has elevated his play at the plate to a star-caliber level.
