Overview
- Multiple reports say Pratt will be promoted for the Brewers’ series opener on Tuesday, with his Triple-A team pulling him from Sunday’s game as the first sign of the move.
- Pratt signed an eight-year, roughly $50–50.75 million pre-debut extension in April and was already on Milwaukee’s 40-man roster, so only an active roster spot was required.
- The 21-year-old has a .241/.349/.386 line with six homers and 17 steals at Triple-A this season and is widely praised for elite shortstop defense, including a Minor League Gold Glove.
- Milwaukee is expected to make a corresponding roster move that could involve designating Luis Rengifo or shifting Joey Ortiz to a different role to accommodate Pratt.
- The promotion continues the Brewers’ strategy of locking up top prospects early and comes as the club pursues a playoff push with the NL Central lead this season.
