Willy Adames SS | SF
Brewers' Willy Adames: Delivers four hits, four RBI
Adames went 4-for-5 with a home run and four RBI Thursday against the Brewers.
Adames delivered a clutch three-run home run in the seventh inning to put the Brewers ahead. It was his first extra-base hit since being traded to Milwaukee on May 21 and debuting one day later. Adames should remain locked into regular playing time, but he will need to decrease his 33.1 percent strikeout rate to improve his .217/.283/.395 line across 166 plate appearances this season.

Miguel Rojas SS | LAD
Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Dislocates finger Thursday
Manager Don Mattingly said after Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Phillies that Rojas suffered a dislocated finger during the contest, Andre Fernandez of Sirius XM Radio reports.
Mattingly acknowledged that a trip to the injured list could be a possibility for Rojas, who went 1-for-3 with a walk before being lifted in the top of the ninth inning. The Marlins will likely send Rojas in for more tests Friday before deciding whether or not an IL stint will be necessary. Jose Devers replaced Rojas in Thursday's game, but Jazz Chisholm could end up shifting over from second base to cover shortstop on an everyday basis if Rojas is forced to miss time.
