Overview
- The left side of Milwaukee’s infield was hit Saturday when Joey Ortiz aggravated a scapular muscle while swinging and exited that game, and Cooper Pratt reported a right-hamstring setback.
- Pratt was sent for an MRI on Sunday and was placed on the 10-day injured list after scans showed a hamstring strain, prompting the team to sit him rather than let him play through the issue.
- Ortiz remains listed day-to-day after imaging of his neck and upper back, and the Brewers have been using emergency shifts in the lineup with Andrew Vaughn starting at third and David Hamilton at shortstop.
- Milwaukee added Ji‑Hwan Bae as immediate infield insurance, signing him to join the taxi/active roster, and also moved to clear roster space for the transaction as the club reshuffles depth.
- Triple-A shortstop Jett Williams has wrist soreness and was sent to Arizona for specialist care, a development that raises broader organizational depth concerns as the division-leading Brewers push through a critical stretch.
