Belts fifth homer
Ortiz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Mets.
Analisi
The rookie first baseman continues to shine, taking Christian Scott deep in the third inning for his fourth homer in the last seven games. Since rejoining the big-league roster in early August, seemingly for good, Ortiz has hit .289 (11-for-38) with five home runs, six runs and nine RBI in 13 contests.

Homers again Thursday
Ortiz went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's 7-0 win over the Cubs.
Analisi
Ortiz delivered the biggest blow of Washington's five-run fifth inning, taking Kevin Gausman deep for a three-run homer. The rookie has wasted little time making an impact since his call-up, going deep four times in just 10 games. During that stretch, Ortiz is batting 9-for-28 (.321) with eight RBI, providing an immediate source of power in what was already baseball's top scoring lineup.

Pops homer off bench
Ortiz went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Cubs.
Analisi
Andres Chaparro got the start at first base against southpaw David Peterson, but Ortiz came off the bench in the sixth inning and took Javier Assad deep. It was Ortiz's third homer in nine games since getting called up after the trade deadline, a stretch in which he's batting .292 (7-for-24) with five RBI while handling the strong side of a platoon at first base.

Taking seat against lefty
Ortiz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
Analisi
The Nationals will keep the left-handed-hitting Ortiz on the bench for the second day in a row while the Cubs send another lefty (David Peterson) to the hill. Andres Chaparro will spell Ortiz at first base and will bat second.
