The Milwaukee Brewers have promoted shortstop prospect Cooper Pratt to the major leagues ahead of their game against the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday night. Pratt, who signed an 8-year, $50 million extension in April, was performing well with the Nashville Sounds, hitting.241 with six home runs and 17 stolen bases. His promotion follows a recent increase in performance during the season. The Brewers have yet to announce a corresponding roster move to make space for Pratt, but speculation includes a potential trade involving Luis Rengifo or placing him on the injured list after he experienced minor injuries during a recent game.
