The Brewers have announced that they have promoted Brandon Sproat to their major league roster from Triple-A Nashville. In addition, Milwaukee shared that pitcher Grant Anderson has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to right biceps inflammation.

Sproat landing this call-up to Milwaukee’s major league roster comes a month after he was optioned to Triple-A Nashville by the NL Central club. Now, Sproat will be looking to impress after getting another chance on Milwaukee’s major league roster.

Sproat has appeared in 21 games this season with the Brewers, where he has posted a 3-7 record, a 5.27 ERA, and 100 strikeouts. This is after he posted a 0-2 record, a 4.79 ERA, and 17 strikeouts in his first four career MLB games last season with the New York Mets.

Down with Triple-A Nashville, Sproat has posted a 0-1 record, a 4.00 ERA, and 27 strikeouts this season. Overall, he has had some success after being sent down to Triple-A Nashville. Now, he will be looking to prove that he belongs in the majors after landing this latest call-up to Milwaukee’s roster.
