Adames was removed from Wednesday's game against the Astros in the eighth inning due to a back injury, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Adames' back appeared to tighten up on him when he attempted a double play in the seventh inning. The Giants should provide an update on Adames once he undergoes further tests on his back. Christian Koss shifted from third base to replace Adames at shortstop in the top of the eighth inning, with Buddy Kennedy entering the game at the hot corner.
