Right-hander Luis Ortiz, acquired from the Pirates in December, has not had the best of springs for the Guardians.

Juan Brito and Austin Hedges hit back-to-back home runs, but Luis Ortiz walked six in Cleveland's spring training loss.

Ortiz allowed four runs on two hits and six walks while striking out two over four innings in Tuesday's spring start against the Rangers.

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.
