The Milwaukee Brewers have announced Willy Adames will act as the designated hitter for the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers on Sunday, June 4 as part of a rehabilitation assignment. The Rattlers host the Peoria Chiefs at 12:10pm at Neuroscience Group Field at Fox Cities Stadium.
Adames was injured when a foul ball hit him in his head as he was leaning on the railing of the Milwaukee dugout during a game at American Family Field against the San Francisco Giants on May 26. Adames has been working out with the Timber Rattlers prior to their games for the last few days. He was cleared for the rehabilitation assignment earlier today.
The Milwaukee shortstop played for two different Midwest League teams in 2014 – the West Michigan Whitecaps and the Bowling Green Hot Rods – but he never played against the Timber Rattlers during that season.
