The Milwaukee Brewers have placed short stop Willy Adames on the 10-day IL. The slugging infielder has been plagued by a bad quad for a few weeks now. Infielder Tim Lopes has been recalled from Nashville to take his place on the roster.

As a result of the move, Luis Urias will slide in as the team’s everyday short stop for the time being. Pablo Reyes, too, is still with the team and is in the lineup today.
Happy Burnes day!
