The Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz are predicted to be out of MLB amid ongoing sports betting investigations.

Emmanuel Clase, the dominant closer in the American League for the last four years, was placed on non-disciplinary leave Monday. He joined Luis Ortiz, a member of the starting rotation, who was placed on leave July 3.

Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase has been placed on non-disciplinary paid leave as part of a Major League Baseball investigation into sports betting. Clase, a three-time All-Star, becomes the second Guardians pitcher to be placed on leave in connection with a sports gambling probe.

The Cleveland Guardians were on the verge of selling at the MLB trade deadline on Thursday, but instead, Cleveland held onto All-Star left fielder Steven Kwan.

CLEVELAND (WKBN) – Cleveland Guardians All-Star outfielder Steven Kwan was not dealt at the Major League Baseball trade deadline and is staying with the Guardians. Multiple published reports said that the Guardians received strong trade interest in Kwan from the Padres, Dodgers, and Astros, among other teams.

Teams have traded Paul Sewald at the deadline in two of the last three seasons. On both occasions, he was confident he wouldn’t be dealt.
