Not in Tuesday's lineup Ortega will sit Tuesday against the Pirates. Impact Ortega started the first three games of the season, appearing twice as the designated hitter and once in left field. All three of those starts came against righties, so the fact that he'll sit Tuesday against Jose Quintana, the first lefty the Cubs have faced this season, suggests he's likely in a platoon role. Ian Happ will be the left fielder Tuesday, while Clint Frazier serves as the designated hitter.
