MILWAUKEE, Wis. (WSAW) - The Brewers have activated shortstop Willy Adames off the seven-day injured list and optioned Brice Turang to AAA, the team announced Wednesday.

Adames was placed on the injured list two weeks ago with a concussion after getting hit by a foul ball off the bat of Brian Anderson in the dugout. After a scary few minutes, Adames left the game and went to a hospital for further evaluation. There was no further damage outside of the concussion.

Turang is optioned to AAA after being with the team since opening day. He’s struggled with a .175 batting average since April 18 after starting the season hitting .283 with two home runs.
