Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Luis Ortiz has been placed on paid leave, per multiple reports, and will not make his scheduled start for Cleveland this evening. Per Jeff Passan, Ortiz is being investigated for gambling.
I will note that this is not former Texas Rangers first round draft pick Luis Ortiz, who has spent parts of the last seven seasons in the majors (nor is it former Rangers third baseman Luis Ortiz, who is a hitting coach for the Guardians currently). This Ortiz was originally with the Pittsburgh Pirates, and spent parts of the 2022-24 seasons in the majors for Pittsburgh.
