Willy Adames sidelined Monday by sprained ankle, an injury that could land him on the IL

The shortstop was out of the lineup Monday for the first time this season as the Milwaukee Brewers opened a three-game series with the Atlanta Braves at American Family Field, his absence the result of the sprained left ankle suffered in Sunday's victory at Miami.

And there might be multiple games missed due to the injury, which occurred on a slide into home plate in the top of the first inning. Adames remained in the game for the bottom half of the first before being replaced by Luis Urías.

"He's sore today," manager Craig Counsell said.
