Emmanuel Clase is the second Guardians pitcher to be placed on paid leave during MLB's sports-betting investigation.
Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase — a rumored MLB trade deadline target — has been placed on paid leave in connection with a sports-gambling investigation, ESPN's Jeff Passan reported Monday. Clase is reportedly on leave through Aug. 31, per The Athletic's Zack Meisel.
What Gaddis and Clase did was pitch in both ends of Saturday’s day-night doubleheader against the Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Gaddis threw a scoreless ninth inning in the opener, a 5-3 loss in 10 innings. He came back with a scoreless eighth inning in the nightcap of the Guardians’ 6-4 win.
