Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase has been placed on non-disciplinary paid leave as part of an MLB investigation into sports betting.

Cleveland's star closer Emmanuel Clase joins teammate Luis Ortiz on the non-disciplinary paid leave list due to MLB's ongoing sports-betting investigation.

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.”
