Brewers Send Brandon Sproat to Minors After His Ninth-Inning Struggles in Win over Cubs
Sproat walked four batters, made an error and threw a wild pitch in the ninth as Milwaukee won 8-6.
- On Thursday, the Milwaukee Brewers optioned pitcher Brandon Sproat to Triple-A Nashville following a difficult relief appearance in Wednesday's 8-6 victory over the Chicago Cubs.
- The Brewers recalled Sproat from Triple-A Nashville on Monday to evaluate his transition into a bullpen role, marking his first major league appearance since his early August demotion.
- During a chaotic ninth inning Wednesday, Sproat allowed four runs and walked four batters, prompting manager Pat Murphy to remark, "It's unacceptable. You've got to throw the ball over the plate."
- Fox Sports reporter Hunter Baumgardt noted the team will announce a corresponding roster move before Friday's series opener against the Reds.
- Acquired in the trade that sent All-Star pitcher Freddy Peralta to the New York Mets, the 25-year-old rookie now holds a 3-7 record and 5.57 ERA across 22 appearances this season.
