Joey Ortiz is pushing to be available for Milwaukee’s National League Division Series opener, though the Brewers are taking a cautious approach after the infielder underwent an MRI on his right knee last weekend.

Ortiz, 28, believes his knee is in good enough shape for him to play when Milwaukee opens its postseason series. The club has not rushed that decision, however, with the MRI examination still part of the recent picture.
The Brewers will continue to weigh Ortiz’s readiness as the NLDS opener approaches, balancing the player’s confidence with the need to protect an important infield piece in October.
