Luis F. Ortiz

Luis Ortiz (ankle/shoulder) is starting a rehab assignment with Double-A Reading.

Fantasy Impact

Ortiz will embark on his second rehab assignment, after having his first one paused in late April with inflammation in his right shoulder. He will likely require a lengthy rehab assignment before being activated from the injured list.

Ortiz pitched three innings, allowing four hits and two earned runs with no strikeouts and no walks in the Phillies' 15-3 victory over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the lack of strikeouts, Ortiz managed to earn his first save of the season. The outing was a bit of a mixed bag for Ortiz, who allowed a couple of runs but did not issue any free passes. Overall, he has been a solid contributor out of the bullpen this season, posting a 3.46 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP over nine appearances.

Luis Ortiz left Friday's game against the White Sox with an injured left hamstring, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

Fantasy Impact

The severity of the injury isn't known just yet, but Ortiz will likely undergo an MRI on Saturday to determine the extent of the damage. Ortiz should only be owned in deep AL-only formats and those owners can move on from the pitcher if there is a better option on the wire.
