Mystery Deepens as Guardians Empty Lockers of Stars Clase and Ortiz Amid Gambling Probe
Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase’s locker was empty the day after the MLB trade deadline, but not for the reason many expected this time last week.
With both Clase and teammate Luis Ortiz on paid leave amid an investigation into gambling allegations, the Guardians cleared out their lockers before Friday’s game, according to The Athletic’s Zack Meisel.

While no reason for the change was provided, it’s notable given that the Guardians have already played multiple home games since Clase was sidelined on Monday. Ortiz has also been on leave since July 3. Both players have reportedly had their leave extended through at least Aug. 31.
