"MLB stated, 'As the legal proceedings involving Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz continue to move forward, MLB and the MLBPA have agreed that both players will remain on non-disciplinary leave from the Club without pay until further notice.'"
"The indictment alleges that Clase threw rigged pitches in nine games, while Ortiz's attorney claims the government is accusing Clase of manipulating his performance."
Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz have been placed on unpaid non-disciplinary leave following an agreement between Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association. Both players face multiple conspiracy charges related to an alleged pitch-rigging scheme and have pleaded not guilty. MLB stated that this leave is not an admission of wrongdoing. The trial is set for the fall, with jury selection beginning on November 2, and the top charges could lead to significant prison time.
