Ortiz went 2-for-3 with a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's loss to Cincinnati. Ortiz did a little bit of everything Sunday, scoring two of Milwaukee's three runs and belting his 20th double of the season. Ortiz is looking to rebound from a rough August in which he slashed .195/.290/.345 with two home runs, 13 RBI and nine runs scored in 28 games. Overall, the 26-year-old owns a .732 OPS with nine home runs, 45 RBI, 47 runs scored and eight stolen bases in 418 plate appearances.

Ortiz is absent from the starting lineup for the second game of a doubleheader against the Reds on Friday. Ortiz started at third base and went 0-for-3 at the plate during the matinee. He'll retreat to the bench for the nightcap as Andruw Monasterio handles the hot corner.

Ortiz went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Reds. Ortiz got the scoring started Sunday, tagging Nick Lodolo for a two-run homer in the second inning. The long ball was Ortiz's eighth of the season, and the third baseman appears to finally be breaking out of his slump, going 9-for-24 with four extra-base hits during his last six games.

Ortiz went 3-for-4 with two doubles, one walk, two RBI and one run scored in Wednesday's 8-5 win over Atlanta. This was Ortiz's second multi-hit effort in a row after he went a mere 7-for-50 (.140) over his first 14 games of the second half. The infielder also logged multiple RBI in a game for the first time since June 15. Despite his struggles at the plate, Ortiz has maintained steady playing time at third base. He's now at a .253/.353/.404 slash line with seven home runs, six stolen bases, 35 RBI, 39 runs scored, 16 doubles and three triples over 93 contests this year.

The Brewers reinstated Ortiz (neck) from the 10-day injured list Friday. Neck inflammation has plagued Ortiz since late June, though he didn't land on the injured list until July 3. He went 0-for-2 with a walk during his lone rehab game with High-A Wisconsin on Thursday and will now reclaim his role as Milwaukee's everyday third baseman. Vinny Capra was optioned to Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move.
