MLB Roster Moves & Legal Action

The Guardians placed pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz on unpaid non-disciplinary leave Friday as the two await trial regarding an alleged pitch-rigging scheme, a significant administrative move by the club following league review. In personnel updates, the Minnesota Twins released veteran right-hander Liam Hendriks from his minor league contract, signaling the end of his attempted comeback bid with the organization. Separately, the legal proceedings surrounding former Yankees player Brett Gardner intensified, as his family initiated a wrongful death lawsuit against the Costa Rican resort where his 14-year-old son, Miller, tragically died from carbon monoxide poisoning.
