Adames anchors the middle of the Giants’ lineup, bringing power and run production. His presence elevates the offense’s ceiling and creates a reliable RBI engine for fantasy teams, especially if the lineup protections and contact skills complement Eldridge’s development.

Adames' power pace marks a rare Giants highlight in a year of mixed outcomes.

Adames crushed a 417-foot homer on the first pitch, providing an early spark for San Francisco and illustrating the contrast between the Giants’ efficiency and Colorado's struggles in a challenging season.

Adames delivered the Giants’ 30th homer of the season, the first by a Giants player since Bonds in 2004, and moved into the leadoff role just before the game. His power profile, now paired with a top-of-order slot, elevates his fantasy upside and keeps him squarely in the 30-HR discussion for 2026.

Adames opened the scoring with a 29th homer of the season, setting the tone early for the Giants. His power presence posed immediate danger for Márquez, contributing to San Francisco's early lead and overall offensive momentum.
