Brewers Send Brandon Sproat to Triple-A for First Time This Season
Milwaukee optioned the 25-year-old righty after three straight losses and a near-12% walk rate raised command concerns.
The Brewers optioned Brandon Sproat to Triple-A Nashville ahead of their win over Pittsburgh. Sproat held a rotation spot since mid-April but struggled with command, walking 12 batters in 17.2 innings in July alone. His season ERA sits at 5.27 over 95.2 innings. He retains minor league options and could return in 15 days, though his playoff roster chances appear slim.
