Hopes to return when first eligible
Ortiz (hamstring) fielded grounders Monday and hopes to be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Sept. 1, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Ortiz suffered a left hamstring strain last Thursday and was placed on the IL on Friday. He'll have to show he can ramp up his running without issue before convincing the Brewers he'll need only a minimum-length absence, but Ortiz seems to be doing well during the early stages of his recovery.

Hits IL
The Brewers placed Ortiz (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left hamstring strain, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Ortiz left Thursday's game against the Cubs after grabbing at his hamstring while running out a groundball, and further testing revealed he's dealing with a strain. Per McCalvy, it's a low-grade strain. The 26-year-old shortstop's spot on the 26-man roster will go to Jake Bauers (shoulder), who's being activated from the injured list in a corresponding move. Look for Andruw Monasterio and Brice Turang to handle most of the action at shortstop while Ortiz is idle.

Dealing with hamstring injury
Ortiz has been diagnosed with a left hamstring injury after exiting Thursday's win over the Cubs in the fifth inning, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis
The severity of the injury isn't yet known, but Ortiz will presumably undergo further testing. His status for Friday's series opener against the Giants is uncertain. Andruw Monasterio filled in at shortstop in place of Ortiz on Thursday and would be the logical candidate to step in at the position if Ortiz needs to miss time.

Departs with apparent injury
Ortiz exited Thursday's game against the Cubs in the bottom of the fifth inning with an apparent left leg injury, Sophia Minnaert of FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin reports.
Analysis
Ortiz grounded out to third in the top of the fifth and was grabbing at his left leg. He fouled a pitch off his left knee Tuesday, but it's unclear if the two issues are related. Andruw Monasterio has replaced Ortiz at shortstop for Milwaukee.

Playing Wednesday after all
Ortiz (knee) is starting at shortstop and batting ninth against the Cubs on Wednesday.
Analysis
Ortiz was originally slated to miss Wednesday's contest after fouling a pitch off his knee during Tuesday's game against the Cubs, but the issue is apparently minor given his presence in the lineup. Ortiz has logged at least two hits in five of his last 10 games, going 13-for-35 (.371) with one steal, two doubles and six RBI over that span.

Will not play Wednesday
Ortiz exited Tuesday night's game against the Cubs after fouling a pitch off his knee, and manager Pat Murphy said Ortiz won't play Wednesday versus Chicago, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
X-rays on Ortiz's knee came back negative, so he should be considered day-to-day. On top of the knee issue, Ortiz was also dealing with a stomach bug Tuesday. Andruw Monasterio could fill in at shortstop in place of Ortiz on Wednesday.
