Guardians’ Luis Ortiz Placed On Leave Due To “Ongoing League Investigation”

By Steve Adams | July 3, 2025 at 11:00am CDT

11:00am: Zack Meisel and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic report that the investigation pertains to gambling.

9:35am: Guardians right-hander Luis Ortiz has been placed on non-disciplinary paid  leave through the All-Star break due to an “ongoing league investigation,” according to announcements from both the team and the league. The leave was jointly agreed upon by the league and the Players Association. The Guardians’ statement noted that they are not permitted to comment further at this time. Neither the league nor the team provided specific details on the nature of the investigation.

Ortiz, 26, is in his first season with Cleveland after coming over from the Pirates in exchange for first baseman Spencer Horwitz. He stepped right into the Guardians’ rotation and has started 16 games, tossing 88 2/3 innings with a 4.36 ERA, a 25.1% strikeout rate and an 11% walk rate.

Ortiz had been slated to start tonight’s game for Cleveland, but left-hander Joey Cantillo will make that start instead. He’ll join a rotation also including Tanner Bibee, Gavin Williams, Logan Allen and Slade Cecconi. The Guardians lost righty Ben Lively to Tommy John surgery earlier this season, while longtime ace Shane Bieber’s return from last year’s Tommy John procedure was slowed by a minor setback. Bieber recently resumed throwing.

      Careful. It’s all conjecture at this point, but it’s possible that Fanduel and/or Draftkings ALERTED MLB of some betting irregularities, which led to this investigation.
      Had sports betting not been legal, the problem (if there is one) might not have been brought to light at all.

        The problem isn’t that it’s legal or not, it’s that Ortiz couldn’t follow a league rule that EVERYONE has driven into their heads from day one.

        You’re just hoping the services called it in, but honestly it’s almost impossible for them to make a call like that without a lot of doubt. All a player needs to do is create a hotmail.com email address and bill back to paypal. And even if Ortiz didn’t those few things it’s still pretty easy for most players to say “Must be some other Luis Ortiz” since most names are not that unique. Ohtani and Funderburk aside, you need to either submit a ton of names or be very certain for this to be usefull.

          @crise A gambling house is who clued FBI to Malik Beasley of the Pistons. They recognized unusually high betting on Beasley rebound props. Then even after odds adjusted and lowered the unusually high action continued.

          Sportsbooks stay in business based off #s and predicting odds. Catching such anomalies like Beasley is right in line with what they do for every game.

          Nobody is using anonymous names either. Sportsbooks want ID, SSN, etc before they ll pay out to anyone. They were legalized by States to create tax revenue. State and Federal government are not letting anyone get away with not paying taxes. Software is going to flag te abnormal action, from there all they have to do is look for most suspect bets on said anomaly.

      I’m sure more people bet due to legalized gambling, but it wasnt exactly difficult to place a bet before. If a player is placing bets with an illegal bookie, it would be difficult for the league to find out, whereas on DK, Fanduel, etc its only a matter of time.

        Russ – So you’re saying it’s harder to place bets and transfer/receive funds anonymously online than it is in person? Finding a friend or distant relative to set up an online account for you under their name is difficult to do and easy for LE to find and prove?

        Gee, then I wonder why I’ve been asked so many times by gamblers to be online runners for them.

        Wasn’t Ohtani …. err, I mean his translator busted only because the illegal bookie he was using was being investigated?

        Sorry dude, if you’re a bookie I’m not trying to take away your business ….I’m just giving it straight.

      If you think these things weren’t happening prior to legalized gambling, you need to get out and see the sunshine. Bookies ran wild, and most of it was done undetected. At least now, with legalized gambling platforms, if players choose to that this route instead of the one in darkness, it can be properly investigated.

      Pete Rose gambled undetected for years because so much of it was off the books and unseen. He’d have been caught much quicker using todays tracking methods – methods which are now able to be used, and legal, because of the change in legislation. Many fans can’t get their head around that though – they’re too busy making lazy takes on message boards.

        I agree with your basic premise, but young men walking around with more computing power in their pockets than the Apollo missions is a game changer. It’s much easier to place a sports bet than ever before.
        There are studies regarding the wealth transfer from 18-35 men that is staggering. It’s having a significant negative effect on savings and 401k contributions.

    Legalizing gambling makes it legitimate which makes it harder to convince those in the game that it’s “wrong”. When your games are on FanDuel with pitching changes brought to you by BetMGM with inning by inning lines updated by Bet365, the message of the danger gets lost.

    If it was FanDuel, MLB will say that was okay.

    And Denny McLain will be unsuspended.
    And Pete Rose will be exhumed to give a HOF acceptance speech.

    MLB and its support of gambling as long as it was financiers and big Wall Street brokerages doing it is so very sad. And they got into the ticket scalping business, too, in that very same way.

      Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker helped to rig at least one game, and they’re both in the Hall of Fame. Why? Because good ol’ Commissioner Landis covered it up. This stuff has run rampant throughout the history of sports, but some of you still believe that only a handful of players have been involved.

    Realistically, MLB is so intertwined with the gambling industry, it brings in so much money, that they will never go back. So moral high ground isn’t something that MLB can ever occupy. It’s simply a matter of what they can tolerate from players, some of whom will have a problem controlling themselves.

      Players in the early 1900’s were throwing way more games than these guys today are. Ever hear of Hal Chase? And MLB was not intertwined with the gambling industry back then.

    Bottom line is no matter if it’s legal or not, the player still has a choice to participate or not and if he did, he violated the policy. Personal responsibility is a thing.

        This scenario wouldnt have happened if you couldn’t legally vote for thr first pitch being a ball/strike on draftkings.

    All he has to do is say his translator screwed up (Hi Shoei) and he’ll get off with just a slap on the wrist.

      What did this “Shoei” do? Who even is that? Are you talking about the motorcycle helmet brand?

    Going by Passan’s article, this seems like a massive overreaction. He threw two balls too far out of the strikezone and they think he was doing it on purpose to win money for somebody?

      Reading the Athletic article, it appears that there may have been unusually high betting on those particular batters or pitches. And possibly from specific bettors.

      You need to do a little more research. MLB wouldn’t take this step without some evidence. Not a peep from the union. That’s very telling.

    With the way every sports station (I.e. Fan Duel Detroit broadcasts the Tigers game) and announcers promote gambling and player props hundreds of times a game why are the Leagues themselves surprised when one of their players is involved with gambling? Can’t believe they’re that ignorant, but they’re certainly blind as bats! Reminds me of the steroid era in the late 90’s and how players like Bonds, Clemens, Sosa & McGuire are banned from the Hall of Fame for doing what the owners wanted them to do. It’s mind boggling!!

        They always love a good scapegoat, though. Like banning Shoeless Joe and the Black Sox when the whole league was rife with shady players throwing games.

    These Sh”@stains make more money in one year than I’ll see in maybe 10-15 and they have to bet on the game by throwing a first pitch strike. They should be banned forever and be made to donate their career earnings to a reputable charity in the community
