Milwaukee Brewers dropped their last spring training match, single 16-9 On Saturday evening. Freddy Peralta was marked by 10 runs during the loss, but many fans were more concerned about the sudden departure of Shortstop Joey Ortiz from the game.
In the middle of the bat in the early rounds of the Ortiz competition he called Time and started the game.

This development caused panic among fans who saw several Brewers players already because of this spring injury.
As it turns out, there was nothing to worry about.
Milwaukee Brewers Manager Pat Murphy said Joey Ortiz had to buy
Ortiz has a great spring training, hitting. 389/.511/.806 with two races at home and nine RBI in 15 matches. Recently, he received the starting name Milwaukee for the 2025 season after fatigue of the Brice Turang shoulder.
It is understandable that the fans dealt with his early way.
But the manager Pat Murphy said that the reason for his trip was nothing more than a sudden accident in the bathroom:
Why did Joey Ortiz suddenly leave the game in the fourth round?

Of course, spring training matches are much more relaxed than the regular season matches, and Ortiz has nothing more to prove before the season begins with regard to where it fits the team.
Joey Ortiz was taken over by Milwaukee Brewers for Corbin Burnes last year
Of course, it is jocular that this instance came against Burnes and Diamondbacks, taking into account that Ortiz was one of the players whom Brewers acquired in exchange for the winner of the NL CY YOUNG 2021 award last year.
At that time, trade was not a surprise, taking into account the fact that the relationship between Milwaukee and Burres deteriorated after arbitration interrogations and the fact that they would never be able to pay him what he wanted when he hit a free agency.
In its first season with Brewers, Ortiz appeared as a daily third base, hitting .239/.329/.398 with 11 home runs, 60 RBI and 11 stolen bases. He also spent a lot of time during the season during exercises with the former acquired Willy Adams to improve his skills in this position.
And I hope it pays off when he is now a substitute for Adames.
