Ortega filled in well for the Halos when Daniel Nava went down. In 14 games this year he is hitting .294 and has 4 RBI’s.

Ortega was playing well for the club and will certainly be back up sooner rather than later. With all the injuries this team is dealing with it’s only a matter of time.

With the Angels sitting at 13-16 on the season they can use all the help they can get.

The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim will continue their series with the Tampa Bay Rays tonight a 6:05 p.m. PST.
