Cristhian Adames sat at a table in the Coors Field clubhouse Wednesday, sifting playing cards through his hands and talking about the opportunity in front of him now that the Rockies are forced to shuffle the deck at the shortstop position.
“It’s a said situation with Trevor (Story) out, but I’m always going to be ready to help the team and be ready when they need me,” Adames said. “We’re playing well right now, so I want to help them keep that momentum going.”
With Story sidelined for at least two months with a torn ligament in his left thumb (he will have surgery Thursday in Denver), Daniel Descalso likely will be the fill-in as Colorado’s starting shortstop.
