At 3:16 p.m. ET on April 26, just before he entered the game in the eighth inning, Cleveland Guardians reliever Emmanuel Clase texted an associate who was sitting in the stands at Progressive Field. The two then held a two-minute phone call despite MLB rules prohibiting players from using their phones during games.
