TL;DR;
Brewers’ shortstop, Willy Adames, is on a seven-day concussion rest after getting beaned by a rogue foul ball from a teammate during a game. Despite a rough time in the dugout and a quick hospital trip, the news is mostly sunny-side up for the baseball star. ππ₯π
Imagine a clear, sunny day in Milwaukee, the crack of the bat, the cheers of the crowd, and thenβ¦ WHAMMO! π²π₯ You’re out colder than a snow cone at the North Pole. That’s what happened to Brewers’ shortstop, Willy Adames, during a game against the San Francisco Giants.
Adames was chillin’ in the dugout, probably pondering the meaning of life or his next batting strategy, when BAM! β a foul ball hit him right in the noggin. Now, he’s on a seven-day concussion list. Now there’s an unexpected vacation for ya, right? ππ΄
He got his bell rung courtesy of a foul liner from his teammate, Brian Anderson, in the bottom of the second inning. Did anyone check if Brian had a grudge or something? But hey, itβs all part of the game, right? π
After the head-knocking incident, the Brewers’ manager, Craig Counsell, had him whisked off to the hospital faster than a curveball. Luckily, Willy was released from the hospital on Saturday morning. There’s a home run for ya, Willy! ππͺ
According to Counsell, Adames is in good spirits despite the fiasco. “All the news has been good,” Counsell said before Saturdayβs game against the Giants. “He’s in very good spirits. Everything checked out well medically. So now it’s just today, especially, a day of recovery.” ποΈββοΈπ
