Giants shortstop Willy Adames was scratched from Wednesday's series finale against the Nationals due to upper leg pain that developed during Tuesday's 6-3 loss. Manager Tony Vitello indicated the injury affected Adames' mobility during the previous game, where he went 0-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts, extending his hitless streak to 17 at-bats over four games. Although Adames wanted to play, Vitello consulted with the training staff and decided to rest him, inserting utilityman Casey Schmitt at shortstop for only the second time in 69 games this season. Schmitt, who has primarily played left field recently, prepared for the assignment by working through infield drills with infield coach Ron Washington.
