CHICAGO — Milwaukee Brewers<\/a> infielder Joey Ortiz<\/a> is scheduled to undergo an MRI on his left hamstring after leaving Thursday’s 4-1 win<\/a> against the Chicago Cubs<\/a> following a groundout in the fifth inning.<\/p>\n

“We don’t know yet,” Brewers manager Pat Murphy said. “We’re going to get it checked out.”<\/p>\n

Ortiz, 27, singled earlier in the game but came up lame after grounding out to third base in the top of the fifth inning. He was replaced by Andruw Monasterio<\/a> in the bottom of the inning.<\/p>\n

Ortiz has been a key member of the Brewers’ infield, taking over for former shortstop Willy Adames<\/a> this season after playing third base for much of 2024. Ortiz is hitting .233 with a .612 OPS in 125 games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jesse RogersAug 21, 2025, 06:44 PM ET CloseJesse joined ESPN Chicago in September 2009 and covers MLB for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":88771,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":["post-88770","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88770","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=88770"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88770\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/88771"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=88770"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=88770"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=88770"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
