Ortiz makes NLDS roster; Crew goes with 13-man pitching staff
MILWAUKEE – Joey Ortiz is a go for the Brewers for the National League Division Series.
So are a pair of starters who struggled down the stretch.
The Brewers set a 26-man roster for the NLDS on Saturday morning, and it includes 13 pitchers and 13 position players, including the hot-hitting Ortiz, who was a question mark going into the playoffs because of abdominal, groin and right knee injuries. He injured the knee banging into the wall in foul ground during the Brewers’ final road series in Philadelphia and sat out the final weekend of the regular season against the Cardinals.
But if the Brewers can get Ortiz healthy enough, he’s a big boost going into October because of his elite defense and a bat that came around after the Brewers bumped him off shortstop in favor of rookie Cooper Pratt in June. Ortiz hit .341 with an .884 OPS from Aug. 2 through the end of the season and solidified third base for the Brewers, though they still use left-handed-hitting speedster David Hamilton at that position against certain pitchers.
