Optioned to Triple-A
The Royals optioned Pratto to Triple-A Omaha on Friday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
If decisions were made strictly on spring performance, Pratto would have made the club, as he slashed a robust .421/.476/.816 with four home runs. First base, the corner outfield spots and designated hitter are spoken for with the Royals though, so he'll head back to Omaha where he'll play every day.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Everyday role likely secure
Pratto, who is starting at first base and batting leadoff Wednesday against the Reds, is a likely bet to operate as the Royals' primary first baseman for the foreseeable future after the club announced Vinnie Pasquantino will require shoulder labrum surgery and is likely to miss the rest of the season
ANALYSIS
Pratto's start at first base Wednesday is his fifth straight since Pasquantino landed on the shelf Saturday, and he should continue to be the main option at the position going forward. The 24-year-old Pratto received his first taste of the majors last year and had a .657 OPS in 49 games, but he's been more effective in 2023 with a .281/.367/.425 slash line in a similar sample size.

2018
As expected, Pratto had trouble hitting consistently against major-league arms, batting .184 with a .657 OPS across 182 plate appearances with the Royals. He was in a unique situation, sharing first base and designated hitter with fellow prospect Vinnie Pasquantino. While that's an acceptable short-term arrangement that could exist for part or all of 2023, the Royals' position-player prospects could eventually create a logjam in the majors that necessitates a deal. Pratto added seven homers in his first taste of the majors last year, but a 36.3 percent strikeout rate and a 10.7 percent walk rate were not the right mix for a three-true-outcomes hitter. He also didn't attempt a steal in the majors last year -- he didn't get on base enough to make an impact there. There's room for the 24-year-old to grow if he can break camp with the Royals, but there are enough red flags in his profile to make him risky even in AL-only formats, though his plus power could quickly nullify those concerns.
