Brewers Shortstop Prospect Cooper Pratt Called up Ahead of Series with Guardians
Pratt is headed to Milwaukee after an emotional AAA Nashville exit, and the Brewers believe the 6-foot-4 shortstop can add speed and defense.
- On Tuesday, the Milwaukee Brewers called up 21-year-old shortstop Cooper Pratt from Triple-A Nashville ahead of a three-game series against the Cleveland Guardians.
- Brewers officials demonstrated faith in Pratt when they signed him on April 3 to an eight-year, $50.75 million contract including club options for 2034 and 2035.
- Ranked No. 63 in baseball by MLB Pipeline, Pratt won a minor-league Gold Glove in 2024 and posted a.241 average with 32 RBIs in 58 games with Nashville this season.
- To accommodate Pratt on the active 26-man roster, the Brewers designated third baseman Luis Rengifo for assignment, though the move required no additional roster clearing.
- Milwaukee currently leads the NL Central by 4 1/2 games chasing their fourth straight division title, with Pratt expected to become a fixture on the left side of the infield.
