Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Reaches four times in win
Ortiz went 3-for-3 with a triple, a double, two runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Mets.
Ortiz filled the stat sheet Wednesday while ultimately coming a homer shy of a cycle. He put the Brewers ahead in the second inning with a two-run, two-out triple, his first three-bagger this season. Ortiz has been hot since the All-Star break, going 7-for-17 with two homers, four extra-base hits, six RBI and three steals in six games. He's now slashing .239/.310/.352 with five homers, eight steals, 29 runs scored and 28 RBI across 262 plate appearances this season.

Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Belts three-run homer in win
Ortiz went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 8-3 victory versus the Mets.
Ortiz capped the Brewers' scoring in the contest with a three-run blast to left field in the sixth inning. After going deep just once over his first 68 contests of the campaign, the infielder has displayed more power since late June, swatting four homers across his past 19 games. Ortiz's production has been helped by more playing time, as he's become an everyday part of Milwaukee's lineup since David Hamilton (hamstring) landed on the injured list July 7. However, Hamilton is reportedly close to beginning a rehab assignment, and Ortiz's opportunities may shrink a bit upon Hamilton's return.

Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Makes impact in twin bill
Ortiz went 5-for-9 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI across both ends of Tuesday's doubleheader sweep of the Cardinals.
Getting the start at third base and batting ninth in both games, Ortiz banged out three hits in the matinee before launching a solo shot off Jared Shuster in the seventh inning of the nightcap. With David Hamilton (hamstring) having been placed on the IL earlier in the day, Ortiz could be in for an extended run at the hot corner. Over his last 10 games, the 27-year-old infielder is batting .355 (11-for-31) with two of his three homers on the season, along with four runs and seven RBI.

Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Blasts key homer in Monday's win
Ortiz went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 5-3 win over Cincinnati.
Ortiz's lone hit was a big one, as he belted a two-run homer in the eighth inning to break a 3-3 tie and give Milwaukee a lead it wouldn't relinquish. The 27-year-old got the start at third base, where he has split time with David Hamilton since top prospect Cooper Pratt was promoted to play shortstop June 16. Ortiz has had a limited offensive impact this season, slashing .201/.281/.266 with two homers, 17 RBI, 20 runs and five stolen bases across 69 appearances.

Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Back to bench with righty starting
Ortiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
Ortiz had started at third base in each of the last three games while the Brewers went up against lefties, but he'll hit the bench Sunday while right-hander Bryce Elder toes the rubber for Atlanta. The 27-year-old looks as though he'll have to settle for the short side of a platoon with David Hamilton following the recent promotion of shortstop Cooper Pratt from Triple-A Nashville.

Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Sitting in second straight game
Ortiz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.
Ortiz had made four consecutive starts to close out the past week, but he looks like he'll have to settle for a utility role after the Brewers promoted one of their top prospects (Cooper Pratt) from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday. Milwaukee will keep Ortiz on the bench for a second straight night while Pratt gets another look as the team's starting shortstop.

Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Playing time trending up
Ortiz will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Phillies.
Ortiz will stick in the starting nine for the seventh time in eight games while he's maintained a serviceable .280/.357/.400 slash line thus far in June. With Ortiz's playing time on the upswing, Luis Rengifo has been the odd man out on the left side of the infield.

Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Idle again Wednesday
Ortiz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
Ortiz will be on the bench for a second straight game while the Brewers once again go with Luis Rengifo and David Hamilton as their starters on the left side of the infield. Neither Ortiz (57 wRC+), Rengifo (52 wRC+) nor Hamilton (73 wRC+) have been productive at the plate this season, so manager Pat Murphy could continue to mix and match at third base and shortstop rather than committing to any of the three in an everyday role.

Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Hitting bench Tuesday
Ortiz is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cardinals.
Though he'll head to the bench Tuesday, Ortiz may have recaptured a regular role on the left side of the Milwaukee infield. He occupied shortstop in each of the last five games, going just 2-for-14 but drawing four walks during that stretch. Ortiz will take a seat in favor of Luis Rengifo, who will enter the starting nine at third base while David Hamilton slides over to shortstop.

Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Settling back into everyday role
Ortiz will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Dodgers.
Dating back to May 12, Ortiz has produced a .798 OPS on the back of a stellar 25 percent walk rate. His improved production at the dish has allowed him to reclaim a regular spot on the left side of the infield, as he'll draw a fourth consecutive start Sunday. Luis Rengifo is on the bench for the third time in four games and appears to have fallen into a utility role.

Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Goes deep Tuesday
Ortiz went 2-for-3 with a home run and an additional RBI in Tuesday's 6-4 victory versus the Padres.
Ortiz opened the scoring in the contest with a solo homer in the third inning. The infielder added an RBI on a sacrifice fly in the fourth. Ortiz badly needed this positive performance, as he entered Tuesday with no long balls and a .181 batting average through 94 plate appearances on the season. He's seen his playing time fluctuate but has started four of the Brewers' past five contests.

Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Role diminishing
Ortiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
After starting at shortstop in 14 of Milwaukee's first 18 games of the season, Ortiz is on the bench Sunday for the fifth time in the past nine contests. David Hamilton has seen more action at shortstop as a result, creating more opportunities at third base for Luis Rengifo. Ortiz had a .593 OPS in 149 regular-season games last year and has a .180/.265/.180 slash line through 70 plate appearances this season, and that lack of offensive production is affecting his playing time.

Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Sitting down Friday
Ortiz isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates.
Ortiz will get a day to rest after snapping his six-game hitless streak with his single against the Tigers on Thursday. David Hamilton will start at shortstop Friday while Luis Rengifo mans the hot corner.

Brewers' Joey Ortiz: Heading to bench Sunday
Ortiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.
Ortiz will hit the bench for the second time in the series while Milwaukee clears a spot for Luis Rengifo on the left side of its infield. Though Ortiz offers a reliable glove at shortstop, he's provided a weak .196/.268/.196 slash line to begin the season. The lack of production at the plate looks like it could be starting to cost Ortiz some playing time.

Ortiz started five of Milwaukee's first six games but will take a seat for the series opener in Kansas City.

David Hamilton is receiving a look at shortstop Friday while batting ninth.
