MIKE CLEVINGER NEWS

Starting for Triple-A Charlotte Clevinger will start for Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday against Lehigh Valley, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact It will be Clevinger's first start with a minor-league affiliate, as he has been pitching in extended spring training games after re-signing with the White Sox on April 2. Manager Pedro Grifol said over the weekend that Clevinger remains on track to join the big league rotation at the beginning of May, although a specific date has not been revealed. The veteran right-hander seemingly will be asked to make at least a couple starts with Charlotte before joining the major league club.

'On schedule' for May debut White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said Saturday that Clevinger remains "on schedule" to join the big club at the beginning of May, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports....

Impact After he didn't sign a one-year deal with the White Sox until April 2 -- just under a week after the regular season began -- Clevinger has been going through his own version of spring training at the organization's complex in Arizona. The White Sox have yet to assign Clevinger to a minor-league affiliate for a rehab assignment, as it seems as though the organization is content to have him get ramped up in simulated games at extended spring training. More details regarding when Clevinger might be ready to make his White Sox debut could come during the upcoming week, but for now, the expectation remains that he'll be cleared to make his first start in the first or second week of May.

Season debut expected around May 1 White Sox general manager Chris Getz said Thursday that he expects Clevinger to make his season debut around May 1, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Clevinger's signing to a one-year, $3 million contract became official Thursday and he was optioned to the team's Arizona Complex League affiliate as he gets ramped up before appearing in a major-league game. The White Sox have been using four starters to this point and it sounds like that might continue until Clevinger is ready, with the club opting for some bullpen games when needed. Clevinger posted a 3.77 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 110:40 K:BB over 131.1 innings last season.

Signs with White Sox Clevinger agreed to a contract with the White Sox on Monday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Impact Chicago got in touch with Clevinger after trading Dylan Cease to the Padres, per Murray. The details of the contract are not yet known and the deal is pending a physical, but it appears a reunion is in place for Clevinger and the White Sox. The 33-year old right hander posted a 3.77 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 110:40 K:BB over 131.1 innings last season while going 9-9 over 24 starts with the White Sox last season.

Destroyed by San Diego Clevinger (9-9) took the loss Saturday, allowing six runs on seven hits and two walks over 1.2 innings against the Padres. He struck out two.

Impact Clevinger hadn't allowed more than six hits or two earned runs in any of his previous four starts but he yielded four runs in the first frame and two more in the second, giving up seven hits in his shortest outing of the season. The 32-year-old hurler had been on quite the run since returning from a biceps injury July 29, posting a 6-4 record with a 2.96 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 55:12 K:BB across 67 innings. However, Saturday's dud increased Clevinger's season-long ERA from 3.40 to 3.77 to go with his 1.23 WHIP and 110:40 K:BB across 131.1 innings - his highest total since 2018.

Earns win in rain-shortened outing Clevinger (9-8) earned the win Sunday, allowing two runs on five hits over six innings against the Red Sox. He didn't record a strikeout.

Impact While he failed to log a strikeout Sunday, Clevinger held the Red Sox to just two runs on a pair of solo homers, earning the win in a rain-shortened affair. The 32-year-old Clevinger has been pitching well recently, allowing two runs or fewer in each of his last four outings with a 1.61 ERA in that span (28 innings). He'll carry a 3.40 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 108 strikeouts into his final start this season, currently scheduled for next weekend against San Diego.

Tosses complete game Clevinger (8-8) allowed one run on six hits over nine innings Monday, striking out seven and earning a victory over Washington.

Impact Clevinger was one out away from a shutout but served up a solo shot to Dominic Smith. Since getting tagged with eight runs by the Tigers on Sep. 2, Clevinger has allowed just two runs over his last 22 innings. He's recorded a 21:0 K:BB while lowering his season ERA from 3.90 to 3.42 during that span. Clevinger is currently projected to start in Boston this weekend.

Takes loss in quality start Clevinger (7-8) allowed two runs on six hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over six innings, but he took the loss Wednesday versus the Royals.

Impact Clevinger limited the damage to a two-run home run from Michael Massey in the second inning. That was enough for the loss, as the White Sox were defeated 7-1. Clevinger has gone at least seven innings in four of his last six starts, allowing just three runs in those games, though he's given up 12 runs over nine innings in the two poorer outings in that span. The right-hander now has a 3.61 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 101:38 K:BB through 114.2 innings over 21 starts this season. He's projected for a road start versus the Nationals next week.

Rebounds against Tigers Clevinger (7-7) earned the win Friday, allowing three hits and zero walks over seven scoreless innings against Detroit. He struck out seven.

Impact Clevinger's one blip of trouble came in the second when he allowed an infield single and a double that were sandwiched around a double play. He only allowed a single and a hit batter the rest of his outing. This was a nice rebound from last weekend's matchup with the Tigers in which he allowed eight runs in four innings. Prior to that he had been sparkling from the start of June through August, allowing only 12 runs in 50.1 innings (2.15 ERA). Clevinger will take a season ERA of 3.64 into his next outing, likely to take place in a mid-week matchup at home against Kansas City.

Allows eight earned Clevinger (6-7) took the loss Saturday, allowing eight runs on 12 hits over four innings against Detroit. He struck out two and didn't issue a walk.

Impact Clevinger's first start since clearing waivers was undoubtedly his worst of the season, as the right-hander surrendered 12 hits and eight earned runs to a Detroit offense that ranks 29th in OPS across MLB. In his six previous starts after returning from injury, the 32-year-old posted a 2.31 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and 32:12 K:BB across 35 innings. After Saturday's dreadful outing, Clevinger's season-long ERA jumped from 3.32 to 3.90. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, which is slated to be a rematch with the Tigers next week.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Clears waivers Clevinger cleared waivers and will remain with the White Sox, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Clevinger has pitched pretty well since returning from a biceps injury a month ago, but contenders still didn't view him as enough of an upgrade to justify adding his salary. The right-hander remains on track to start this weekend against the Tigers.

AUGUST 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on waivers The White Sox placed Clevinger on waivers Tuesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Impact Clevinger has been solid through 18 starts for the White Sox this season, posting a 3.32 ERA and 1.23 WHIP across 97.2 innings. However, the White Sox will pass him through waivers -- likely in an effort to save money -- and Clevinger can now be picked up by any team looking to add to their rotation ahead of the postseason.

Excellent against Oakland Clevinger (6-6) allowed a run on one hit and two walks while striking out 10 over seven innings to earn the win Sunday over the Athletics.

Impact This was the second time in three starts Clevinger has gone seven innings. He's walked eight batters and struck out 21 while allowing five runs over 19 innings in that span. The right-hander is now at a 3.32 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 85:38 K:BB through 97.2 innings across 18 starts this season. Clevinger is projected to make his next start at home versus the Tigers.
