Briefly

The Opener: Sproat, Brewers, Jays, Yankees
"A second-rounder in the 2023 draft, Sproat made it all the way to Triple-A during his first pro season last year and this year has spent the entire season at the level. In 26 appearances (25 starts) with Syracuse this year, he's posted a 4.24 ERA with a 22.1% strikeout rate across 121 innings of work. Sproat joins Nolan McLean and as pitching prospects who have come up to help impact the club down the stretch."
"The Brewers are set to place one of their relief pitchers on the injured list, according to a report from MLB.com's Adam McCalvy. Manager Pat Murphy declined to say who that was they'd be placing on the shelf, but he did describe him as a "significant" reliever. McCalvy went on to note that both Abner Uribe and Jared Koenig warmed up during yesterday's loss to the Phillies, which would suggest that neither of them is currently injured."
Brandon Sproat is expected to be promoted to the Mets and is scheduled to start Sunday against the Reds in Cincinnati. Sproat, a 2023 second-round pick, reached Triple-A in his first pro season and has spent this year at Syracuse. In 26 appearances (25 starts) he has a 4.24 ERA and a 22.1% strikeout rate across 121 innings. The Mets have six rotation pitchers and could ask Kodai Senga to accept an option to Triple-A to open a spot; Senga could refuse. A 40-man roster move will be required to add Sproat. The Brewers plan to place a significant reliever on the injured list; the manager did not name the player. Abner Uribe and Jared Koenig warmed up during the recent loss, suggesting neither is injured. The Brewers will make a roster move before today's game, with Robert Gasser and Chad Patrick among potential call-ups to fill the vacancy.
