Willy Adames injury update: Giants shortstop expected to miss 3-4 weeks
San Francisco Giants shortstop Willy Adames could be done for the season with an elbow injury.
Willy Adames, the San Francisco Giants' starting shortstop, is expected to miss between three and four weeks due to an elbow injury sustained during a loss to the Boston Red Sox. Adames, 30, suffered a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his non-throwing arm after feeling pain in his left elbow while sliding into home plate on Sunday.
Following a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection, medical professionals advised Adames to rest his arm for three to four weeks. Giants manager Tony Vitello acknowledged that Adames might not return by the team's final game on September 27 against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The injury opens up opportunities for the Giants to evaluate younger players and potential talent, as well as the possibility of other infielders stepping up to fill Adames' role.
With Adames' contract worth $13.1 million this season and $31.1 million through 2031, the Giants must now assess their roster and plan for the remainder of the season, despite having no postseason hopes.
