Ortiz (wrist) has been sent to the Cardinals' Florida Complex League affiliate to begin a rehab assignment.
Ortiz went down with a wrist injury after just one game earlier this season with Double-A Springfield. He will likely play a few rehab contests with the FCL Cardinals before rejoining Springfield's active roster. Ortiz had a breakout in 2025 between Single-A Palm Beach and High-A Peoria, slashing .300/.416/.462 with 13 home runs, 39 stolen bases and a 67:117 BB:K.
