Guardians Muddled by Gambling Scandals

The story of the summer in downtown Cleveland was that the Guardians lost two important pitchers, not to injury, but to an investigation by the MLB surrounding gambling.

Luis Ortiz and Emmanual Clase, both Dominican right-handers, were expected to have key roles in the Guardians' pitching plan this season under manager Stephen Vogt.
