Overview

  • Milwaukee placed Ortiz on the 10-day injured list Friday with a strained left hamstring, which Murphy characterized as low grade.
  • Monasterio will serve as the primary shortstop while Ortiz recovers, according to the manager.
  • The Brewers also reinstated Jake Bauers from the injured list and sent Jackson Chourio on a rehabilitation assignment to Triple-A Nashville.
  • Ortiz exited Thursday’s 4-1 win over the Cubs after injuring the hamstring while running out a grounder, and he had been hitting .343 in August.
  • Rhys Hoskins began a Triple-A rehab assignment this week after a left thumb sprain, and left-hander Robert Gasser reached 52 pitches in a four-inning scoreless rehab outing as the team evaluates his role.
