Overall
Summary
Willy Adames, 30-year-old San Francisco Giants shortstop, suffered a right hand injury on May 18, 2026 after taking a ground ball to the hand in the fifth inning against Arizona. He was pulled from the game and is day-to-day. Adames has had a disappointing 2026 season, entering the injury game with a .234/.265/.356 slash line and .622 OPS through 46 games. His underlying metrics are concerning: 7.3% barrel rate (lowest since 2018), 3.6% walk rate (down from 11.7% in 2025), and significantly reduced power production. However, there are some signs of recent improvement with 10 hits in his last 10 games (.244 average) and a 3-for-6 performance with a double in a recent win.
Strengths
- Recent offensive uptick with 10-for-41 (.244) over last 10 games
