MLB has no update on Guardians gambling probe as World Series approaches

Major League Baseball placed Luis Ortiz on non-disciplinary paid leave due to a gambling probe July 3. Roughly 3½ weeks later, two-time American League Reliever of the Year Emmanuel Clase joined him.

Despite the devastating blows to the pitching staff, the Cleveland Guardians rallied to win the American League Central, overcoming a double-digit game deficit in the month of September.

The Detroit Tigers got the last laugh, eliminating Cleveland in a Wild Card Series and forcing the Guardians to look to 2026.
