Returns from IL The Brewers reinstated Ortiz (neck) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Impact Neck inflammation has plagued Ortiz since late June, though he didn't land on the injured list until July 3. He went 0-for-2 with a walk during his lone rehab game with High-A Wisconsin on Thursday and will now reclaim his role as Milwaukee's everyday third baseman. Vinny Capra was optioned to Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move.

JULY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Beginning assignment Thursday Ortiz (neck) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Wisconsin on Thursday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Neck inflammation has kept Ortiz on the injured list since July 3, though his battles against neck problems can be traced back to late June. The Brewers haven't officially stated how many games they plan on having the third baseman play in the minors, though the fact he's headed to High-A Wisconsin may indicate the team wants to keep him nearby for activation once he's eligible to return Friday.

JULY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hits injured list The Brewers placed Ortiz on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with neck inflammation, retroactive to Tuesday.

Impact Neck problems have caused Ortiz to be in and out of the Brewers' lineup over the past week, and he'll now officially be shut down in order to properly address the issue. Vinny Capra was recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move, but Andruw Monasterio has been seeing regular time at third base when Ortiz sits and should continue to do so going forward.

JULY 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Idle Tuesday Ortiz isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Tuesday's game versus Colorado.

Impact Ortiz was held hitless in five at-bats during his return to the lineup Monday after missing the Brewers' last three games due to a neck injury. He'll get a day to regroup Tuesday while Andruw Monasterio starts at the hot corner and bats ninth.

JULY 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returning to Milwaukee lineup Ortiz (neck) will start at third base and bat leadoff in Monday's game in Colorado.

JULY 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched with neck soreness Ortiz was scratched from the Brewers' lineup ahead of Saturday's game versus the Cubs due to neck soreness.

Impact Ortiz was originally in line to make his return to Milwaukee's lineup after neck problems kept him from playing Friday, but he'll instead require another day to rest up. As a result, Andruw Monasterio will pick up another start at third base and bat ninth.

JUNE 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

In Saturday's lineup Ortiz (neck) will start at third base and bat leadoff Saturday against the Cubs.

Impact Ortiz made an early exit from Wednesday's game versus the Rangers and sat out Friday's series opener due to neck problems, but he's evidently feeling well enough to play Saturday. The 25-year-old has found a good amount of success at the plate recently, going 5-for-14 with a solo home run over his last five games.

JUNE 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Managing neck issue Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Ortiz was removed from Wednesday's win over the Rangers due to a neck injury, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinelreports.

Impact The injury apparently surfaced during last week's series against the Angels, and it prompted his removal from Wednesday's contest in the sixth inning after going 0-for-2. Ortiz's ability to play through the issue indicates it isn't a serious concern, so he could be back in action Friday versus the Cubs following Thursday's team off day.

JUNE 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves with apparent injury Ortiz was removed from Wednesday's game versus the Rangers with an apparent injury, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Ortiz ran into the tarp while chasing after a pop-up in the top of the sixth inning and was then removed in favor of a pinch hitter in the bottom of the frame. It's not clear yet what injury Ortiz might be dealing with, but the Brewers should offer more clarity soon.

Impact Ortiz has drawn a walk in three straight games. His steal Wednesday was his second of the year, which has come on four attempts.

Launches third home run Ortiz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Ortiz has now homered in consecutive games and has registered an extra-base hit in five of his last eight contests. He continues to crush right-handed pitching this season, slashing .327/.424/.618 in that split with three home runs, eight runs scored and 10 RBI in 66 plate appearances. The 25-year-old will continue to jockey with Oliver Dunn for playing time at the hot corner, but Ortiz's recent hot streak could give him the upper hand.

MAY 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sits in fourth straight Ortiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

Impact Ortiz finds himself on the bench for the fourth game in a row, a surprising development considering that he's maintaining an excellent .388 on-base percentage and .827 OPS through 80 plate appearances on the season. According to Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Ortiz's benching isn't disciplinary in nature or due to any dissatisfaction of his performance. Instead, manager Pat Murphy expressed a desire to take a longer look at rookie Oliver Dunn, who hadn't gotten to play much over the past few weeks once Ortiz emerged as the superior option at third base. Dunn will start his fourth straight game Sunday, and Murphy said the Brewers are using the run of extended action to evaluate whether it's worthwhile to keep Dunn in a utility role with the big club or to have him play more frequently in the minors.
