Ortiz was arrested in Boston earlier Sunday after he was indicted on charges related to a scheme to rig bets on pitches thrown in MLB games, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. Fellow Guardians pitcher Emmanuel Clase has also been indicted, though he has yet to be taken into police custody. Major League Baseball continues to conduct its own sports-betting investigation related to Ortiz, who was placed on administrative leave July 3. If MLB determines that Ortiz was an active participant in betting scheme, Ortiz's time in affiliated ball could be over.
