The leave will extend through the All-Star break, and obviously his absence away from the club will be considerably higher — if not permanent — if he’s found to have violated the league’s policy. There should be considerably more details in the coming days, but don’t expect to see Ortiz on the mound soon.

The Guardians needed to clear a spot on their active roster for some fresh arms that can cover multiple innings on Thursday and unfortunately Allard was the odd man out this time around. The 27-year-old left-hander posted a 2.55 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and a 16/8 K/BB ratio over 35 1/3 innings in 16 appearances with the Guardians. Given the overall lack of quality pitching depth around the league, he could attract interest on waivers.

The 25-year-old left-hander will start in place of Luis Ortiz on Thursday after the right-hander was placed on the restricted list. Cantillo has done a decent job out of the Guardians’ bullpen this season — posting a 3.81 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 36/14 K/BB ratio over 28 1/3 innings — before he was sent down at the end of May to get stretched back out as a starter. It’s unclear how many innings he’ll handle against the Cubs on Thursday but Doug Nikhazy was promoted as well to add some length to the Guardians’ bullpen.

The 25-year-old southpaw was hit hard in his lone appearance with the Guardians this season, giving up six runs on five hits over his three innings of work. He’ll provide length out of the team’s bullpen with Joey Cantillo starting in place of Luis Ortiz on Thursday evening.
