Luis L. Ortiz Placed On Restricted List For Cleveland Guardians

Luis L. Ortiz has been a key pitcher for the Cleveland Guardians this season, appearing in 16 games, all starts. He has pitched 88 2/3 innings with a 4.37 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP. Ortiz has struck out 96 batters, with a K/9 of 9.7, while walking 42 batters.

In recent weeks, the Guardians have managed other player absences, but Ortiz's leave will further impact the team's depth. In his last game, Ortiz pitched against the St. Louis Cardinals and allowed four earned runs in 7 innings. The Guardians lost that game 5-0. This performance followed a win against the Athletics where Ortiz allowed no earned runs over 6 innings, striking out 10.
