Pratt Out, Brewers Navigate Injury Wave | MLB News

Brewers shortstop Cooper Pratt is sidelined for at least 10 days with a hamstring strain, a major blow to a team riding high in the standings and boasting one of the league’s best records. Pratt, a key contributor since his June call-up and recently locked into an eight-year deal, brings speed, solid contact hitting, and defensive value — now missing as injuries pile up across the infield. Joey Ortiz is day-to-day with neck/back issues, while prospect Jett Williams faces a longer recovery from a wrist injury. To fill the void, the Brewers have signed Ji Hwan Bae on a minor league deal — a former top prospect who’s struggled to make an impact in the majors — while DFAing pitcher Drew Rom, who’s been strong in Triple-A. With playoff positioning on the line, the Brewers must adapt quickly as injuries reshape their roster. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
