Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz had their paid leaves extended indefinitely on Sunday as Major League Baseball continues an investigation to gauge their possible involvement in gambling during games.
Clase and Ortiz were initially set to be sidelined until at least Aug. 31. MLB and the players’ union said in a news release they have agreed to extend the nondisciplinary paid leave “until further notice.”
The Guardians are not commenting until the investigation is completed.
It’s possible the pitchers will be out at least until the end of the regular season, which concludes Sept. 28. The Guardians recently cleared out their lockers, a sign Clase and Ortiz were unlikely to return in the final month.
Ortiz, who was acquired by Cleveland in an offseason trade from Pittsburgh, was placed on paid leave on July 3, the same day he was scheduled to start against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.

MLB reportedly was looking into to whether Ortiz was influencing prop bets in games he pitched. His leave was supposed to end on July 17 but was later extended.
The 26-year-old Ortiz was 4-9 with a 4.36 ERA in 16 starts before his ban.
One of baseball’s top closers, Clase joined Ortiz on the sideline July 28 when MLB announced it had broadened its query to include the three-time All-Star.
Clase’s departure came just before the trade deadline. The Guardians were expected to receive numerous offers for the right-hander, who led the AL with 47 saves last season.
Clase had 24 saves and was 5-3 with a 3.23 ERA this season.
Cleveland has managed to hang around in the wild-card race despite losing Clase. Cade Smith has assumed the closer duties.
The inquiry into the actions of the Cleveland pitchers comes after MLB suspended five players for gambling in June 2024, including a lifetime ban for San Diego Padres infielder Tucupita Marcano.

‘Hard-done-by’ Bateson gets his chance against Conlan
Jack Bateson would be forgiven for comparing Michael Conlan's career bitterly with his own.Conlan was an outstanding amateur, a two-time Olympian and a World Championship gold medallist. He turned professional to great fanfare at the Madison Square Garden Theater. He has had title opportunities against Leigh Wood and Luis Alberto Lopez, although was defeated in them both. A few months after Conlan made his pro debut in New York, Bateson had his. Even though Bateson had been a top international amateur himself, he began his professional career at a banqueting suite in Elland Road. He has operated largely on the small-hall circuit, despite winning multiple national titles as an amateur and a European Championship medal.

OFFENSEQuarterback: Jayden Daniels, Washington Commanders The 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year quickly joined the top-five quarterback conversation after surprisingly guiding the Commanders to the NFC Championship Game. After a series of offseason moves designed to upgrade the playmakers around the second-year pro, Daniels could put up ridiculous numbers, while guiding his squad to back-to-back playoff berths on the strength of a high-powered offense that leaves defenders dazed and confused by his wizardry in the backfield. Running back: Josh Jacobs, Green Bay PackersThe former NFL rushing champion could add another crown to the trophy […]
