So is Ortio going to be up here for almost the rest of the year?

There's not enough information to gauge the seriousness of it.
If it is a Grade 3 injury (MCL tear typically), then yes it is serious and at least 6 weeks to heal from surgery and probably another month of conditioning.
If it is a Grade 1 injury (MCL sprain), it's probably 2-3 weeks of rest and icing and stretching.
If it's a Grade 2 injury (severe MCL sprain), you are looking at a month.
