Christian Yelich, who just homered off a sinker, entered today batting .473 on fastballs since May 22. I'd maybe try throwing him a different pitch.

I'm already irrationally upset about the fact somebody is going to inexplicably not vote for Clayton Kershaw on a Hall of Fame ballot a few years from now

Luis Ortiz has been placed on "non-disciplinary paid leave" through the All-Star break due to an MLB investigation. Joey Cantillo is expected to start Thursday in Chicago in place of Ortiz.

Cleveland Guardians right-hander Luis Ortiz is under investigation for gambling, a source confirms to ESPN. Ortiz was placed on paid leave by MLB earlier today amid a league investigation into gambling activities. First on the news of gambling were Ken Rosenthal and Zack Meisel.

The Guardians seem content with the belief that their lineup as is will eventually get going. The problem is most of the players who are struggling right now are not doing so uncharacteristically.

If you were wondering… Last player to homer in a game he pitched on his birthday: 8/22/02 Randy Wolf Only Dodger to do so: 7/23/65 Don Drysdale

The Guardians have been held to one run or fewer in six of their past nine games. In that time, they’ve fallen from 0.5 games to 5.5 games out of the last Wild Card spot. If this isn’t the breaking point to make lineup changes, it’s really hard to imagine what is.
