Deniel Ortiz - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Beginning rehab assignment Ortiz (wrist) has been sent to the Cardinals' Florida Complex League affiliate to begin a rehab assignment.

Impact Ortiz went down with a wrist injury after just one game earlier this season with Double-A Springfield. He will likely play a few rehab contests with the FCL Cardinals before rejoining Springfield's active roster. Ortiz had a breakout in 2025 between Single-A Palm Beach and High-A Peoria, slashing .300/.416/.462 with 13 home runs, 39 stolen bases and a 67:117 BB:K.

Mashing for Peoria Ortiz is slashing .340/.443/.515 with three home runs, seven steals, a 13.9 percent walk rate and a 23 percent strikeout rate in 28 games for High-A Peoria.

Impact Ortiz, who has split time between third base and first base for Peoria, was promoted to the Midwest League on July 29 after slashing .285/.406/.446 with 10 home runs, 31 steals and a 27.5 percent strikeout rate in 77 games for Single-A Palm Beach. A 16th-round pick in 2024 out of community college, Ortiz is benefitting from a .444 BABIP at High-A, but he also has a 27 percent linedrive rate and a 44.6 percent flyball rate, so his batted-ball profile is ideal. Despite his stolen base totals, the righty-hitting Ortiz is listed at 6-foot-1, 230 pounds and grades as a below-average runner, so it will need to be his bat that carries him.
