Emmanuel Clase, the dominant closer in the American League for the last four years, was placed on non-disciplinary leave Monday. He joined Luis Ortiz, a member of the starting rotation, who was placed on leave July 3.

Guardians pitcher Luis Ortiz will remain on non-disciplinary leave through Aug. 31 while he is the subject of a Major League Baseball gambling investigation.

After winning 11 of 13 games to climb back into the playoff picture, the Guardians season took a huge hit with the loss of Emmanuel Clase to a Major League Baseball investigation into gambling, the second Cleveland pitcher to be placed on leave after Luis Ortiz.
