The Brewers have set their National League Division Series roster for Saturday night’s opener against the Padres at American Family Field, and Joey Ortiz is on it after an uneasy finish to the regular season.
Ortiz battled abdominal and right knee issues during the season’s final week, but Milwaukee included the infielder among its six infielders for the best-of-five series. The Brewers will carry 13 pitchers, two catchers, six infielders and five outfielders into Game 1.
First pitch is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET, 7:30 p.m. local time in Milwaukee, with FS1, FOX Deportes and FOX One carrying the game.
