Guardians Pitcher Luis L. Ortiz's Locker Cleared as Gambling Probe Continues Over Suspicious Pitches

Cleveland Guardians pitcher Luis L. Ortiz had his locker cleared out by the team while remaining on paid leave through at least August 31, in connection with an MLB gambling investigation. Ortiz is facing scrutiny over two specific pitches from June 15 and June 27 that were flagged for suspicious betting activity. Following these incidents, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has advocated for the removal of such prop bets from the state's sportsbooks.
