Excerpt from MSJ article today:
Joey Ortiz out of the lineup again
Infielder Joey Ortiz has been one of the Brewers’ better bats this year but hasn’t been in any of Murphy’s three lineups this weekend.
The reasoning for that, Murphy said, is that he wanted to get at least one more look at what Oliver Dunn could do as the team weighed whether he would remain in the majors or get optioned.
“Ortiz, I consider him a starter,” Murphy said. “I’ve given Dunn this opportunity here because I want to find out about him. It seemed to be trending the other way and maybe he needs some more seasoning. And he’s kind of stepped up both offensively, defensively, and baserunning.”
