Guardians fans won’t be seeing Emmanuel Clase nor Luis Ortiz anytime soon.

The two pitchers will remain on non-disciplinary paid leave “until further notice” as a gambling investigation remains ongoing, MLB announced on Sunday.

In the statement it says that the league and the players association have agreed to extend the absences of Clase and Ortiz while adding “We will not comment further until the investigation has been completed.” 3

The bet was on the first pitch thrown by Ortiz to be a ball or hitting a batter to start the second inning of a game against the Mariners on June 15.
