Ortega went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Nationals.
Getting the start in center field and hitting in the leadoff spot, Ortega capped a four-run fourth for the Cubs with his blast off Joe Ross. The 30-year-old outfielder has been on a tear since the All-Star break, slashing .378/.429/.578 through 16 games, and he should remain a lineup regular over the final two months despite his career .623 OPS in 565 big-league plate appearances given the Cubs' lack of credible options right now.
