Brewers' Cooper Pratt: Targeting late-August return
Rotowire
Pratt (hamstring) is expected to return from the injured list sometime in late August, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Manager Pat Murphy said Tuesday that Pratt is making good progress in his recovery from a strained right hamstring, but he's still likely multiple weeks out from returning to the starting lineup. With Joey Ortiz (back) also dealing with an injury, David Hamilton and Ji Hwan Bae have seen an increase in playing time recently.

Brewers' Cooper Pratt: Heads to IL with hamstring strain
Rotowire
The Brewers placed Pratt on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a right hamstring strain.
Brewers manager Pat Murphy disclosed that Pratt was set to undergo an MRI on Sunday after experiencing hamstring discomfort during Saturday's 4-3 win over the Twins. While the results of Pratt's imaging aren't yet available, the Brewers determined that the rookie's hamstring injury was enough of a concern to keep him out for the next week and a half. David Hamilton will draw the start at shortstop in Sunday's series finale, and he and Joey Ortiz (neck) will likely serve as the Brewers' primary options at the position while Pratt is on the shelf.

Brewers' Cooper Pratt: Nursing hamstring issue
Rotowire
Manager Pat Murphy said Pratt, who is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins, is undergoing an MRI on his hamstring, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.
The rookie shortstop felt some discomfort during Saturday's contest and believes he could play Sunday, but the club will instead play it safe and send him for medical imaging. Pratt should be considered day-to-day as he continues to be evaluated. David Hamilton is shifting to shortstop Sunday while Andrew Vaughn receives a start at third base.

Pratt went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a stolen base in an 8-3 victory versus the Mets on Monday.

Brewers' Cooper Pratt: Officially called up for MLB debut
Rotowire
The Brewers recalled Pratt from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Word broke Sunday that Pratt was on his way to the big leagues, and his promotion is now official. The 21-year-old's .241/.349/.386 batting line at Nashville is underwhelming, but he's hit .281 with four home runs and six stolen bases over his last 25 games. Pratt is expected to take over as the Brewers' primary shortstop, leaving David Hamilton and Joey Ortiz to cover third base. He is starting at shortstop and batting eighth Tuesday against the Guardians in his major-league debut.
Pratt was removed Sunday from Triple-A Nashville's game against Durham prior to the sixth inning and will be recalled prior to the Brewers' next game Tuesday against the Guardians, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
The 21-year-old's eventual promotion to the majors seemed inevitable at some point in 2026, after he signed an eight-year, $50 million extension with Milwaukee in early April. Though Pratt has posted a modest .735 OPS at Triple-A this season, he's been running hot since mid-May, batting .281 with four home runs and six stolen bases while walking at a 10.1 percent clip over his last 25 games with Nashville. Pratt has played exclusively at shortstop since 2024, so the Brewers could have him displace Joey Ortiz (.561 OPS over 170 plate appearances on the season) as their primary option at the position.
Brewers' Cooper Pratt: No longer slowed by sore foot
Rotowire
