Cleveland Guardians pitcher Luis Ortiz was supposed to start against the Chicago Cubs on Thursday in the middle of what's been an up-and-down season for the SP acquired in December in the Spencer Horwitz trade. But news broke on Thursday that the starter had been placed on "non-disciplinary paid leave." What's going on there?

The Cleveland pitcher joins a growing list of professional athletes facing gambling-related scrutiny since sports betting became more accessible in 2018.

Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Luis Ortiz has been placed on paid leave over a reported MLB investigation into gambling. Ortiz was scheduled to start the Guardians' game Thursday night against the Cubs, but instead it'll be Joey Cantillo taking the ball for Cleveland.
