Texas Rangers infield/outfield prospect Abimelec Ortiz went 2-for-4 with a home run during their contest against Double-A Amarillo on Tuesday evening. Entering this contest, the No. 13-ranked prospect in the system was in a bit of a slump at the plate. Over his last five contests, he went 1-for-18 at the plate with an 8:2 K:BB. However, before this slump, Ortiz posted an impressive .425/.511/.750 slash line with three long balls over his last 10 contests. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the 23-year-old's progression as he will likely be in the mix to earn a promotion to Triple-A later this season. However, he will likely not reach the majors until the 2026 campaign. Through 41 games at Double-A, Ortiz has held a .250/.341/.438 line.
Texas Rangers first base prospect Abimelec Ortiz went 2-for-4 with a home run on Wednesday evening. Through his first look at Double-A pitching this season, the 22-year-old has struggled to find consistency with a .211/.282/.341 slash line, just six home runs, and 31 RBI. However, in his past nine games, the infielder has begun to heat up with an excellent .400/.447/.571 line, three doubles, five RBI, and a 3:8 BB:K ratio. Ortiz is considered the 11th-best prospect in the Texas pipeline on MLB.com and should see most of next season at Triple-A.
