Guardians pitcher Luis Ortiz placed on paid leave due to MLB investigation reportedly related to gambling
Luis Ortiz was supposed to start Thursday's game against the Cubs. (Photo by Frank Jansky/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) Cleveland Guardians pitcher Luis Ortiz was placed on leave Thursday amid an MLB investigation, the team announced. The team did not provide details on the investigation, saying it was "not permitted to comment further at this time." The investigation is believed to be related to gambling, multiple sources told Zack Meisel and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Advertisement Ortiz, 26, will go on paid leave through the All-Star break, per Meisel. The news comes just hours before Ortiz was expected to take the mound against the Chicago Cubs. With Ortiz on leave, the Guardians will turn to Joey Cantillo to start Thursday's game. After a promising season in 2024, in which Ortiz posted a 3.32 ERA over 37 appearances with the Pittsburgh Pirates, he was traded to the Guardians in December. He opened the season in Cleveland's rotation and has a 4.36 ERA over 88 2/3 innings. In 16 starts, Ortiz has a 4-9 record. His nine losses lead the American League. If gambling is at the center of the investigation, Ortiz could face a wide range of consequences from the league. MLB banned former infielder Tucupita Marcano for life in 2024 after it was determined he bet on his own team while he was injured. Four other players received one-year bans after it was determined they bet on baseball, though not on their own teams. Those four players were reinstated from their suspensions in June. Advertisement MLB players are not allowed to gamble on baseball or softball at any level, though can gamble on other sports. The news comes in the midst of a disappointing season for the Guardians. After entering the year with playoff aspirations, the team has a 40-44 record and sits in third place in the American League Central. Cleveland is on a six-game losing streak entering Thursday.

Red Sox Insider Provides Promising Update on Alex Bregman's Future in Boston
Red Sox Insider Provides Promising Update on Alex Bregman's Future in Boston originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Boston Red Sox made their big free agency splash this offseason on former Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman. The Red Sox signed the two-time All-Star to a three-year, $120 million contract with opt-outs included. Advertisement The addition has paid off so far for Boston as Bregman has a team-leading .299 BA and .913 OPS, along with 11 home runs and 35 RBI. Recently, the Red Sox got positive news on the likelihood that Bregman remains in Boston following the 2025 season. "Alex Bregman, the Red Sox' marquee offseason addition who is eligible to become a free agent again in four months, is all ears about a new contract — if there is anything to hear," Boston Globe's Tim Healey said (h/t SportsIllustrated). "That includes a potential extension before reaching the open market." Bregman waited deep into free agency to sign his contract with the Red Sox, and structured his contract so he had flexibility to re-negotiate a new deal based on his performance. Advertisement Boston Red Sox infielder Alex Bregman (2) connects with the ball for a Tilley-Imagn Images The star third baseman looks like he could be the Red Sox's centerpiece for the future now, after Boston traded away Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants. The Red Sox have already called up numerous young prospects, and Bregman would be the veteran staple at third base to lead Boston for the future. "I always tell the team — and Alex directs me to tell them — we're always open to any conversation,' Bregman's agent Scott Boras said to Healey (h/t SportsIllustrated). 'Any player who plays well somewhere, it's something that's important for the team and important for the player. It's an additive." Advertisement Bregman is currently on the injured list as he deals with a quad injury. He has not seen the field since May 23, yet still leads the team in BA and OPS. The Red Sox also got positive news about Bregman's potential return as Boston could see their third baseman return before the All-Star break, according to the latest reports. Bregman was off to a fantastic start in Boston, and his presence has been missed. The third baseman was on pace for one of the best seasons of his career. A return soon would bode well not only for the Red Sox but for Bregman's future contract negotiations. As for now, there's a lot of positivity in Boston around Bregman's likelihood to remain with the team for the future.

Guardians pitcher Luis Ortiz placed on paid leave amid MLB investigation
Cleveland Guardians pitcher Luis Ortiz was placed on non-disciplinary paid leave just hours before he was expected to take the mound against the Chicago Cubs on Thursday, MLB announced. The nature of the league's investigation was not immediately known. Ortiz, in his first season with the Guardians, will remain on paid leave through the end of the All-Star break due to an MLB investigation, the league said, adding that it will not comment further until their probe is complete. The Guardians also released a statement following MLB's announcement. "The Guardians have been notified by Major League Baseball that Luis Ortiz has been placed on leave per an agreement with the Players Association due to an ongoing league investigation. "The Guardians are not permitted to comment further at this time, and will respect the league's confidential investigative process." The 26-year-old right-handed pitcher was acquired by Cleveland in a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates that also included Michael Kennedy and Josh Hartle in exchange for Spencer Horwitz. In 16 starts with the Guardians, Ortiz is 4-9 with a 4.36 ERA and 96 strikeouts. His losses are tied for the most in the American League currently. After getting scratched from Thursday's lineup, Cleveland called up left-hander Joey Cantillo, who is 1-0 with one save and a 3.81 ERA in 21 appearances this season.
