Brewers designate Drew Rom for assignment after injury to Cooper Pratt

The Milwaukee Brewers have lost rookie shortstop Cooper Pratt due to a right hamstring injury. To add depth to the infield, the Brewers called up Ji-Hwan Bae but needed to create space on the roster, resulting in left-hander Drew Rom being designated for assignment. The struggling Oakland Athletics claimed Rom off waivers following the Brewers' loss to the San Diego Padres. The Brewers had hoped to retain Rom, who performed well in a limited capacity this season but became expendable amid roster pressures. Milwaukee may now seek another left-handed pitcher to bolster their bullpen.
