| 4/23/25 | Luis Ortiz spins out of control as Guardians fall to Yankees, 5-1. Luis Ortiz channeled his inner Danny Salazar on Wednesday afternoon in a busy, but uneven start against the Yankees at Progressive Field. With the Guardians needing a win to complete a three-game sweep of the Yankees for the first time since September 1970, when they were named the Indians, Ortiz was all over the place in a 5-1 loss. Ortiz struck out eight, walked five and allowed four earned runs and five hits in the loss. It was a definite flashback to Salazar's run in Cleveland as a hard-throwing strikeout pitcher, who didn't always know where the ball was going.

| 4/01/25 | Should The Guardians Be Concerned About Luis Ortiz's First Start?. The Cleveland Guardians went into the 2025 offseason with some clear areas that needed to be addressed, including their starting rotation. One of the front office's marquee moves to address this need was trading for Luis Ortiz from the Pittsburgh Pirates. Ortiz made his official Guardians debut in San Diego on Monday night, and things did not go well. This certainly wasn't the line Ortiz or the Guardians were hoping for during his first start of the season, but should the organization and fans be worried about his production moving forward?

| 3/14/25 | Guardians' Big Offseason Addition Raising Glaring Red Flags. The Cleveland Guardians knew they had to address their ailing starting rotation heading into the offseason, so they went out and swung a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates to acquire Luis Ortiz. The Guardians were generally lauded for their acquisition of Ortiz, a flamethrower who exhibited considerable potential with the Pirates last season. In four appearances in spring training, Ortiz has gone 0-3 and lays claim to a 12.66 ERA. While these are just exhibition games and it's a very small sample size, it's definitely not what the Guardians wanted to see out of Ortiz early on, especially with Shane Bieber sidelined while recovering from Tommy John surgery and major question marks throughout the rest of the pitching staff.

| 3/01/25 | Surprising Pitcher Emerging as Rotation Candidate for Guardians. The Cleveland Guardians' starting rotation is far from set heading into 2025, but it does seem like they have a general idea of who the main five will be. Luis Ortiz is a lock, and Ben Lively and Gavin Williams probably are, too. Now, with Bieber likely out for at least the first couple of months, that does leave one spot open, although you have to think that slot will likely go to either Triston McKenzie or Logan Allen.

| 2/22/25 | Analyst Sets Big Expectations for Enigmatic Guardians Pitcher. The Cleveland Guardians' starting rotation must be better this season if they want to make a serious push for a World Series. Yes, the Guardians were able to get by with a subpar pitching staff in 2024 thanks to a tremendous bullpen, but the chances of Cleveland being able to skate by with such poor starting pitching two years in a row seem slim. The Guardians did add Luis Ortiz to their rotation during the offseason, but they will mostly be relying on the same cast of characters as last season, hoping that they will be bounceback campaigns.

| 2/08/25 | Newest Cleveland Guardians Starter Showcases Pitch Sequence. Pitchers and catchers don't officially report to Spring Training until next week. One of those players is the newest Guardians starting pitcher, Luis Ortiz. Guardians Prospective on X posted a video of Ortiz on the mound, showcasing the 26-year-old's pitch mix. Adding an elite offspeed or breaking pitch can turn Ortiz into a quality middle-of-the-rotation starter, which the Guardians hope he will become during the 2025 season.

| 2/03/25 | Guardians Could Make Bold Move for Former Rival Pitcher. The Cleveland Guardians have been busy this offseason, but they really haven't improved the roster. The same holes the Guardians had this past year still exist, most notably in the starting rotation. Yes, Cleveland did swing a trade for Luis Ortiz, but he is largely unproven as a starter, and Shane Bieber's health remains a question mark.

| 1/30/25 | Cleveland Guardians Should Pursue Trade for Top Padres Pitcher. The Cleveland Guardians' biggest weakness heading into the offseason was their starting rotation. While the front office has added Luis Ortiz and has options throughout the organization, the Guardians could still benefit from adding another proven starting-caliber arm. One pitcher who reportedly could be available for trade and would fit perfectly on this Cleveland roster is Michael King, the current San Diego Padres pitcher. Per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Padres could be open to dealing King at some point this offseason. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/guardians/opinion/cleveland... |
| 1/28/25 | Cleveland Skipper Has High Praise For Newest Guardians Starter. You can say what you want about the Cleveland Guardians' offseason moves, but they entered the winter with a clear need and took action to address it. The Guardians desperately needed to add another arm to their rotation, so they traded for RHP Luis Ortiz from the Pittsburgh Pirates. Stephen Vogt was recently interviewed with the local news network Fox 8. Vogt is referring to the game on August 31, when Ortiz pitched 6.0 innings, gave up just one hit, struck out five batters, and issued just three walks against the Guardians.

| 1/06/25 | Pirates Predicted To Sign Former All-Star. The Pittsburgh Pirates entered the offseason with clear needs at first base and right field. Pittsburgh addressed first base when it traded a trio of pitchers, including right-handed starting pitcher Luis Ortiz to the Cleveland Guardians for Spencer Horwitz. If the Pirates decide to go outside of the organization to add a right fielder, their best bet would likely be hoping a player can return to form with Pittsburgh.
