Nick Pratto Stats

Kansas City Royals infielder Nick Pratto has been optioned to Triple-A Omaha on Saturday. The team had to make room for Edward Olivares, who was just activated from the 60-day injured list. Pratto mostly struggled when he was up in the majors, slashing .184/.271/.386 with seven home runs and 20 RBI over 158 at-bats. He'll compete for a roster spot with the Royals in spring training but he'll head to the minors to hone his craft for now.

The Kansas City Royals have called up eight players from the minor leagues to take eight of the 10 roster spots that were vacated by the team's unvaccinated players who were placed on the restricted list on Thursday. The Royals stated that they anticipate adding two more players during the team's series against the Toronto Blue Jays this weekend. The most notable call-up is infielder Nick Pratto, who is currently ranked as the team's No. 2 overall prospect on MLB Pipeline. This is Pratto's first call-up to the majors. The 23-year-old has hit 17 homers at Triple-A this year while slashing .240/.374/.484. The other most notable call-ups include left-handed pitcher Angel Zerpa, second baseman Michael Massey and shortstop Maikel Garcia.

The Kansas City Royals made a number of moves to cut down the team's roster on Monday. Most notably, the team optioned catcher MJ Melendez and infielder Nick Pratto to Triple-A. Melendez is ranked as the team's No. 2 overall prospect on MLB Pipeline while Pratto is ranked right behind him at No. 3. Both players have a good shot at making their MLB debuts this year, but we now know they won't be part of the Opening Day roster. One potentially significant development from these roster moves is that the league's No. 1 overall prospect Bobby Witt Jr. remains with the big league club. There will certainly be more moves to follow, but it's a good sign for Witt that he's made it past this round of cuts.
