The Milwaukee Brewers option Brandon Sproat to Triple-A Nashville after acquiring veteran right-handed starter Dustin May at the trade deadline. Multiple reports say the move leaves Sproat as the odd man out of the Brewers’ rotation following May’s arrival. Sproat, a rookie right-hander, has appeared in 21 games for Milwaukee, making 19 starts, before being sent down after a recent inconsistent outing. The transaction also includes reliever JoJo Romero, who Milwaukee acquires from the St. Louis Cardinals along with May. May is scheduled to make his Brewers debut in the series finale against the Pittsburgh Pirates, with the start set for Thursday. The optioning occurs one day after Sproat’s latest start, indicating the team is reshaping its rotation immediately to incorporate May’s pitching. The reports present the move as a roster adjustment tied directly to the May acquisition rather than a change in May’s planned role or Sproat’s overall development timeline.
