Ortiz (undisclosed) has gone 4-for-11 with a double, a walk, three RBI and three runs in three games for Single-A San Jose since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Wednesday.
Ortiz had been out of action for San Jose for over three months before he made his return to the lineup Thursday. The 20-year-old outfielder was cleared to join the Giants' California League affiliate after he completed two separate rehab assignments in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.

Single-A San Jose placed Ortiz on its 7-day injured list in April due to an unspecified injury.
Ortiz initially appeared to be in line for a brief stay on the shelf, as he was cleared to begin a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on May 13. The 20-year-old outfielder went 3-for-17 over five games in Arizona but hasn't played since May 20, which indicates that he experienced a setback at some point along the way.
