Mike Clevinger - Battles sinus infection WednesdayClevinger said he was dealing with a sinus infection during his Cactus League start Wednesday against the Rangers, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
ImpactThere was a concerning dip in his velocity readings, and Clevinger blamed it on the illness, saying he struggled to find an "extra gear" with his fastball. Still, the 32-year-old right-hander managed to induce a bevy of groundouts as he turned in five innings of one-run ball versus Texas. He should be in the clear to open the 2023 regular season as a starter for the White Sox.

Christian Yelich - Leading off regularlyYelich is 7-for-26 (.269) with two home runs, two doubles and a 3:6 BB:K through 10 appearances this spring.
ImpactThe seven hits are not a lot, but four of them have gone for extra bases, and he owns both a .345 OBP and .922 OPS during the exhibition season. Yelich has hit leadoff in each game he has appeared in this spring, so all signs point to him occupying the top spot in the batting order when the regular season gets underway next week.

Aaron Bummer - Scheduled to pitch FridayBummer (lat) is scheduled to appear in Friday's Cactus League game against the Athletics, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
ImpactBummer will be making his Cactus League debut against Oakland after missing the start of the year with soreness in his right lat. The right-hander isn't a lock to make the Opening Day roster because of how much time he'll have missed, but his stint on the injured list would likely be short if he isn't available for the beginning of the year. Bummer could be in line for save chances for the White Sox at some point in 2023 with no defined closer for Chicago to begin the campaign.

Eloy Jiménez - Back in action in Cactus LeagueJimenez (calf) will serve as the White Sox's designated hitter and cleanup batter in Wednesday's split-squad Cactus League game against the Royals, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicag...
ImpactJimenez exited early in Monday's game against the Diamondbacks due to what the White Sox labeled as right calf camping, and fortunately for the 26-year-old, the issue wasn't anything more severe than that. After getting Tuesday off to rest and rehydrate, Jimenez is good to go one day later. In an effort to keep Jimenez healthy following consecutive injury-riddled campaigns, the White Sox could have him see an even larger share of his work out of the DH spot rather than the corner outfield in 2023. Jimenez made 50 starts as a DH and 30 as a left fielder last season.
