The Milwaukee Brewers are planning to promote Triple-A shortstop Cooper Pratt to the big leagues prior to Tuesday's home game against the Cleveland Guardians, according to multiple reports.
Pratt, 21, signed an eight-year contract with the Brewers in April reportedly worth $50.75 million with two club options for at least another $15 million per season. He was ranked as Baseball America's No. 50 prospect entering the 2026 season, and the Brewers' No. 4 prospect by MLB Pipeline.
The 6-foot-4, 210-pounder has produced a .241/.349/.386 slash line with six homers and 17 stolen bases in 58 games for Triple-A Nashville. Pratt was removed from Sunday's game against the Durham Bulls in the sixth inning and seen sharing congratulatory hugs with his teammates.
The Brewers' sixth-round pick in the 2023 MLB Draft has played nothing but shortstop during his last three seasons, when he has climbed swiftly up the organizational ladder.
Pratt will join a Brewers squad that boasts a 43-26 record and a five-game lead over the St. Louis Cardinals in the National Leagie Central, but manager Pat Murphy's team has weak spots.
While Milwaukee's offense is tied for second in MLB with 5.36 runs per game, its worst hitters are found on the left side of the infield. Regular third baseman Luis Rengifo owns a .205 batting average and .534 OPS while shortstop Joey Ortiz sits at .207 with a .561 OPS.
