PHOENIX — Milwaukee infielder Joey Ortiz will move over from third base to shortstop as the Brewers alter their infield following Willy Adames' departure. One of the Brewers' main concerns this spring was how they would handle the shortstop position. Adames had filled that role the last 3 1/2 seasons before signing a seven-year, $182 million contract with the San Francisco Giants. The Brewers were pondering whether to give the job to Ortiz or have Brice Turang move over from second base. Brewers manager Pat Murphy settled the matter Tuesday by telling reporters that Ortiz would be the shortstop.
