    • Joey Ortiz walks three times in return to lineup
      Joey Ortiz (hamstring) went 0-for-2 with an RBI and also walked three times on Friday in his return to the lineup.

      Advice: Ortiz was back at third base and batting seventh on Friday night agains the Reds following a two-game absence due to right hamstring soreness. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern moving forward for the 25-year-old infielder, who is in the midst of a true breakout season in his Brewers debut. Rotoworld 13 minutes ago

    • Batting seventh in return

    • Clubs sixth homer
      Burger went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Mets.

      Advice: The third baseman appears to be breaking out of his early-season slump. Burger has hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games, slashing .333/.373/.479 over that stretch and going yard twice in the last four contests. His 31.4 percent strikeout rate during that time is still a concern, however. On the season, the 28-year-old is batting .228 with only six homers in 47 games, a far cry from the 34 in 141 games he slugged in 2023. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:40 am
       
    • Burger blasts sixth home run Thursday
      Jake Burger went 1-for-3 with a walk and a home run against the Mets on Thursday.

      Advice: Burger’s home run was just his sixth of the season in 47 games after homering 34 times in 141 games last year. His .128 ISO isn’t even half of the .268 ISO he had last year. On the bright side, he’s 21-for-64 (.328) with three home runs in his last 16 games to bring his average up to .222. Rotoworld Thursday, 7:00 pm

    • Joey Ortiz day-to-day with hamstring injury
      Joey Ortiz is not in the Brewers’ lineup on Tuesday as he is undergoing testing on his hamstring.

      Advice: Ortiz is being examined today after missing yesterday’s game with a sore right hamstring. Since the Brewers have an off day tomorrow, Ortiz being on the bench on Wednesday allows him to have more rest. We’ll likely know more about his status after the game today. Oliver Dunn is starting at third base for Ortiz on Wednesday and batting eighth. Rotoworld Wednesday, 9:18 am

    • Scratched with sore hamstring
      Ortiz was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays due to right hamstring soreness, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The third baseman was penciled in atop the order with lefty Yusei Kikuchi pitching for Toronto but will instead be held out due to the hamstring issue. Andruw Monasterio replaced him at third base and the leadoff spot. Ortiz should be considered day-to-day heading into Wednesday's series finale versus the Blue Jays. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 3:48 pm

    • Joey Ortiz scratched Tuesday with hamstring injury
      Joey Ortiz has been scratched from Tuesday’s lineup due to right hamstring soreness.

      Advice: Not great. Ortiz has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball over the last few weeks, batting .298 (31-for-104) with four homers, 15 RBI and three steals over his last 30 games. The hope here is that his absence for Tuesday’s contest against the Blue Jays is merely out of an abundance of caution. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.
