The Brewers promoted Adamczewski from High-A Wisconsin to Double-A Biloxi on Monday.
Adamczewski earned the promotion after producing a ridiculous .331/.464/.572 batting line with nine home runs, 10 stolen bases and a 41:40 BB:K in 50 games at Wisconsin. The 21-year-old has made all of his starts in left field this season, but Adamczewski is also capable of handling second base.
Adamczewski has gone 2-for-8 with two runs, one RBI and one stolen base in two games since being promoted to High-A Wisconsin from Single-A Carolina on Tuesday.
Adamczewski was shelved at Carolina in late May after experiencing joint irritation in his back, but he returned to action for the Single-A club coming out of the All-Star break and proceeded to slash .359/.468/.603 over his final 22 games to earn the move up to the Midwest League. He should continue to handle an everyday role in the Wisconsin infield for the remainder of the season.

Single-A Carolina placed Adamczewski on its 7-day injured list May 28 due to left SC joint irritation in his back, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
On a talent-laden Carolina roster, Adamczewski shined brightly through the first month of the season, slashing .360/.450/.539 with two home runs and one stolen base in 111 plate appearances over his first 24 games. However, he hadn't played since May 2 before he was placed on the injured list almost four weeks later. Carolina hasn't offered up a timeline for Adamczewski to make his return to the lineup.
