US EditionBrewers Shortstop Joey Ortiz Goes on Injured List with Strained Hamstring
Ortiz, hitting .233 with a .612 OPS this season, left the game after a left hamstring injury sustained running to first base; MRI results pending for severity assessment.
- On Thursday, August 21, 2025, Joey Ortiz left the Milwaukee Brewers' 4-1 win versus the Chicago Cubs and is scheduled for an MRI on his left hamstring, with the Brewers placing him on the 10-day injured list Friday.
- After grounding out in the fifth inning, Joey Ortiz pulled up and immediately favored his left hamstring, a separate issue from his earlier right leg numbness at Wrigley Field on August 21, 2025.
- The 27-year-old Joey Ortiz had been heating up at the plate, batting.233 with seven homers, 43 RBIs, 11 steals in 125 games and surging to.343 with an.830 OPS in August.
- Brewers manager Pat Murphy said `We don't know yet` as the team awaits MRI results, named Andruw Monasterio primary shortstop, and described the injury as a low-grade strain without expecting a prolonged IL stay.
- With a seven-game NL Central cushion, the Brewers can rely on depth as Andruw Monasterio leads shortstop duties, Brice Turang stays at his position, and Caleb Durbin, Anthony Seigler, and Isaac Collins provide infield flexibility.
