Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Likely out for regular-season finale
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said after Saturday's game that the MRI results on Ortiz's knee were "good" overall, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports. However, Ortiz likely won't play Sunday against the Cardinals.
While Ortiz avoided a major injury to his knee, he's also been dealing with abdominal and groin issues, including abdominal swelling. It sounds like Milwaukee will exercise caution and hold Ortiz out of the regular-season finale to ensure his availability for the start of the playoffs. David Hamilton figures to make another start at the hot corner in Ortiz's absence.

With the Brewers already having clinched home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, the team will give the 28-year-old a day off to recover, and he'll also undergo an MRI to determine the extent of his various injuries. David Hamilton will start at third base as a result and bat ninth.

Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Exits with injury
Ortiz was removed from Friday's game against the Cardinals with an apparent injury, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.
Ortiz appeared to tweak something while legging out an infield single in the second inning and was eventually taken out of the game in the eighth. The Brewers will likely provide an update on his status after the game once they take a closer look at him, but he could sit out the team's final two regular-season games as a precaution to keep him as healthy as possible for the postseason.

Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Nursing abdominal strain
Manager Pat Murphy said Tuesday that Ortiz has been dealing with an abdominal strain for the past few days, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Ortiz will get a day off Tuesday to recover from his injury, but Murphy noted that the 28-year-old would likely be playing if it were the postseason, so it doesn't seem like Ortiz is dealing with anything major.

Ortiz is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.
On the bench for the third time in six games, Ortiz has begun to find himself as the odd man out on the left side of the Milwaukee infield.

Ortiz produced a sizzling .293/.367/.488 slash line with two home runs, one steal, nine RBI and nine runs during that stretch, and the Brewers should continue to find ways to keep him in the starting nine while he's wielding a hot bat.

Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Making return from neck injury
Ortiz (neck) will start at third base and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Padres, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
After recently losing Cooper Pratt (hamstring) to the injured list, the Brewers look set to avoid another blow to the left side of the infield with Ortiz making his way back into the lineup. Ortiz had missed each of the last three games due to neck tightness, which flared up when he struck out during a plate appearance Saturday. Per MLB.com, Ortiz was able to do some running Monday and then incorporated more baseball activities into his workout Tuesday, with his neck apparently checking out fine afterward. He should be in good shape to hold down a near-everyday role at either third base or shortstop while Pratt is on the shelf.

Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Viewed as day-to-day
Ortiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins due to an upper-back injury and is considered day-to-day, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.
Ortiz was forced out of Saturday's 4-3 win due to the injury, but his back issue is considered less of a concern than the hamstring strain fellow infielder Cooper Pratt sustained in the same game. With the Brewers moving Pratt to the injured list Sunday, Ortiz could settle in as the primary option at shortstop once he's healthy. David Hamilton will cover shortstop Sunday while Andrew Vaughn makes his second career MLB start at third base.
