Luis Ortiz Stats

Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Luis Ortiz has been called up from the minors and will make his major league debut in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cincinnati Reds, according to manager Derek Shelton. Ortiz is the team's No. 30 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and went a combined 5-9 with a 4.56 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, 138 strikeouts and 38 walks in 124 1/3 innings over 26 appearances (25 starts) for Double-A Altoona and Triple-A Indianapolis this year. The 23-year-old can hit the upper-90s with his heater, but he typically sits in the mid-90s with his fastball. Ortiz generates a lot of swings and misses with his out pitch, a slider. Because of how hard he throws, he could eventually be an arm out of the bullpen in a worst-case scenario.

The Baltimore Orioles called up starting pitcher Luis Ortiz from Triple-A Norfolk in order to start against the Red Sox on Friday. Ortiz was 2-6 with a 7.01 ERA, 1.63 WHIP, 23 walks and 41 strikeouts in 52 2/3 innings over 11 starts for Norfolk this season, so fantasy owners should stay far away from the 23-year-old in what is likely to just be a spot start for the struggling Orioles rotation. Feel free to stack Red Sox hitters in DFS games in the very friendly matchup.
