Ortiz (hamstring) said Thursday that he's running at close to 100 percent and is on track for activation from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Monday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. It's not clear whether Ortiz will be asked to go out on a brief rehab assignment prior to being activated, but either way, he appears set to rejoin the big club for the start of its series next week against the Phillies. The shortstop has missed the last week of action with a left hamstring strain, with Andruw Monasterio stepping in as his primary replacement in the everyday 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.
