Cleveland Guardians pitcher Luis Ortiz has been placed on paid leave until the All-Star break due to an ongoing MLB investigation. The investigation, reportedly related to gambling, involves a joint agreement between the league and the Players Association. The Guardians are unable to comment further. Ortiz, 26, joined the team this season and has started 16 games. His absence will necessitate a pitching rotation adjustment with Joey Cantillo replacing him for tonight's game.
