Brewers Shortstop Willy Adames Hospitalized After Being Struck By Foul Ball, Placed On Concussion List
- Adames was hit in the head by a foul ball off the bat of teammate Brian Anderson while sitting in the dugout during Friday's Brewers-Giants game.
- Adames was taken to the hospital, where tests revealed no fractures, but he was kept overnight for observation and placed on the 7-day concussion list.
- The Brewers called up infielder Andruw Monasterio to replace Adames, who will not travel with the team to Toronto but may rejoin them later in the week in Cincinnati.
- Anderson and the rest of the Brewers expressed concern for Adames, who has been one of the team's emotional leaders since being acquired in a trade last May.
- The Giants won the first two games of the series against the Brewers, who entered the series leading the NL Central division.
