Guardians News and Notes: The early struggles continue for Luis Ortiz

By no means is it time to start worrying about Luis Ortiz, spring training is not about results, it’s about working on specific areas that will help you be ready for the start of the season. The stat line for Ortiz in the Guardians loss to the Padres sure looked ugly yesterday, 4 earned runs in 2.2 innings pitched, but he also had 5 strikeouts and 8 swings and misses, which is big for him. I don’t think he pitched as bad as that line would indicate, but regardless this has been a rocky start to spring training for him.
