Drake Sent Down, Bratt Shines | MLB News

Arizona Diamondbacks send lefty Kohl Drake to Triple-A Reno to make room for reliever Kade Strowd and with Michael Soroka nearing a return, opting for rookie Mitch Bratt’s standout seven-inning shutout over Drake’s recent struggles. Manager Torey Lovullo praised Bratt’s dominant performance while acknowledging Drake’s potential and the defensive errors that impacted his outing. Drake, 26, remains a promising arm with a strong pitch mix, but needs consistency to earn his next MLB call-up. The move reflects a tough but necessary balance between roster needs and young pitcher development as the Diamondbacks seek stability.
