Adames got a second opinion on his elbow Thursday and is expected to miss three to four weeks, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
The plan for Adames is to rest, rehab and get a PRP injection. The shortstop landed on the 10-day injured list Aug. 24 due to a sprain in his left elbow. He faces the possibility of being shut down for the rest of the season, as the Giants are not in the playoff picture. If he returns, it wouldn't be until the final weeks of the regular season.
