Emmanuel Clase, Luis Ortiz Remain on Leave Amid Gambling Probe

Cleveland's Clase and Ortiz will stay on administrative leave as MLB’s gambling investigation continues, per Bob Nightengale. Initially set to expire, it was extended with union approval. Ortiz was flagged in July after suspicious pitches coincided with betting spikes; Clase followed weeks later. MLB Rule 21 allows permanent bans, with recent cases drawing harsh suspensions.
