Report: Brewers calling up OF prospect Lara
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Milwaukee Brewers are calling up outfield prospect Luis Lara, who has performed impressively in Triple-A with a .321/.423/.470 slash line, nine home runs, 67 runs scored, and 24 stolen bases in 78 games.
- Lara, 21, is ranked as the 67th-best prospect in baseball by MLB Pipeline and recently signed a seven-year, $31 million extension with the Brewers, indicating he is a key part of the team's future plans.
- The Brewers have eight games this week, including a doubleheader, but it is unclear how Lara will be used, as there is currently no obvious outfield spot for him.
- Potential roster adjustments could involve Sal Frelick shifting to third base or David Hamilton possibly going on the injured list due to a hamstring issue.
- Fantasy players are advised to wait for more clarity on Lara’s role before adding him to their teams.
