Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz under investigation for sports betting

• Emmanuel Clase received an administrative suspension due to an investigation into betting.
• Luis Ortiz has already been on a similar suspension for over a month.
• Both players are being investigated for possible connections to sports betting.

This was reported by NBC News, Marca.

The player from the "Cleveland Guardians" Emmanuel Clase received an administrative suspension with pay due to an investigation related to sports betting. Clase is the second pitcher from the team to come under investigation in this matter, following Luis Ortiz, who has already been suspended in a similar situation since September 31.

The club confirmed that they are not expecting any other players or staff to be under investigation. Clase does not receive his regular salary during the investigation. His performances this season, where he pitched 47 innings with an ERA of 3.23, did not meet his high standards.

The investigation concerns bets placed on two of Ortiz's pitches, during which there was unusually high betting activity. These incidents raised suspicion in the firm, which is engaged in ensuring the integrity of the game, and they were reported to MLB. At this moment, it is unknown whether the investigations of Clase and Ortiz are related.
