The Milwaukee Brewers reinstated Cooper Pratt from the 10-day Injured List on August 20, 2026, marking a significant boost to their infield. After a series of injuries, including those to Brice Turang and Joey Ortiz, the team's lineup is now at full capacity. Pratt has had a strong season, hitting.272 with 17 RBIs and 10 stolen bases. His addition is critical as the Brewers aim for postseason contention following three wins against the previous World Series champions and a dominating victory over the Seattle Mariners.
