Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase has been placed on non-disciplinary paid leave as part of a Major League Baseball investigation into sports betting.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — MLB has placed Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase on a non-disciplinary leave of absence through Aug. 31 in connection with the same betting investigation involving teammate Luis Ortiz. Ortiz is on leave of absence through Aug. 31.

Clase is the second Guardians pitcher to be placed on leave. In July, Luis Ortiz was alleged to have wagered on MLB games after an alert from IC360 “referenced action on Ortiz’s first pitches in select innings to be a ball or a hit batsman in two games: June 15 against the Seattle Mariners and June 27 against the St. Louis Cardinals.”
