Milwaukee Brewers Cautious With Joey Ortiz's Right Knee

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Joey Ortiz believes he is healthy enough to play in the NL Division Series opener, but the team is remaining careful after he underwent an MRI on his right knee. Ortiz suffered the injury attempting to play a foul ball in Philadelphia and missed the final two regular-season games. Despite early-year struggles, he emerged as a vital hitter, batting .270 with nine homers and 47 RBIs in 134 games while providing elite defense at third and short.
