Milwaukee Brewers consider Bo Naylor promotion as rosters expand
Summary

The Milwaukee Brewers are evaluating a potential call-up for catcher Bo Naylor as Major League Baseball rosters expand on September 1. Naylor, acquired in a trade with Cleveland, has performed well at the Triple-A level, posting a.903 OPS across 14 games with the Nashville Sounds. His promotion could provide the team with additional flexibility, allowing Gary Sánchez to see more playing time as a designated hitter. Meanwhile, Eric Bitonti has set a single-season home run record for the High-A Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, reaching 24 homers with a.929 OPS. Fellow prospect Jeferson Quero continues to show power at the plate despite limited defensive work due to a lingering biceps injury. The organization is currently managing these roster decisions alongside the conclusion of the minor-league season.
