Latest news
Ortiz isn't in the lineup for Game 4 of the NLCS against the Dodgers on Thursday.
Ortiz has gone just 2-for-17 in the postseason while playing through multiple lingering injuries, so the Brewers will move him to the bench Thursday while David Hamilton starts at third base, batting ninth.

Ortiz is out of the lineup for Game 2 of the NLDS against the Padres on Sunday.
Ortiz sat out the final two games of the regular season while nursing multiple injuries, but he started at third base in Game 1 of the NLDS on Saturday, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. David Hamilton will step in at the hot corner Sunday for Milwaukee versus San Diego ace Michael King.

Ortiz (knee/abdomen/groin) will start at third base and bat ninth Saturday against the Padres in Game 1 of the NLDS.
Ortiz sat out the Brewers' final two regular-season contests to recover from an assortment of injuries, and after also getting extra time to heal thanks to a first-round bye, he is on the NLDS roster and in the lineup to begin Milwaukee's postseason run. The 28-year-old infielder has been one of the most consistent hitters in baseball since the All-Star break, slashing .329/.379/.532 across 174 plate appearances during the second half.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Friday that Ortiz (knee/abdomen) is "progressing in the right direction" and is expected to be on the NLDS roster, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Ortiz was banged up down the stretch of the regular season, nursing knee, abdominal and groin issues. It's a fair assumption that the infielder isn't 100 percent, but he's evidently doing well enough to play in the Division Series. Ortiz should be the Brewers' primary third baseman during the postseason as long as he holds up physically.

Ortiz (knee) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Ortiz is banged up, primarily nursing a knee injury in addition to abdominal and groin issues. He'll sit out Sunday's finale in hopes that he'll be as close to 100 percent as possible for the NLDS. David Hamilton will handle third base for the Brewers on Sunday.
RotoWire via ESPN · Sep 27
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said after Saturday's game that the MRI results on Ortiz's knee were "good" overall, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports. However, Ortiz likely won't play Sunday against the Cardinals.
While Ortiz avoided a major injury to his knee, he's also been dealing with abdominal and groin issues, including abdominal swelling. It sounds like Milwaukee will exercise caution and hold Ortiz out of the regular-season finale to ensure his availability for the start of the playoffs. David Hamilton figures to make another start at the hot corner in Ortiz's absence.
