Mike Clevinger is being stretched out as a starter in the minor leagues.
Looks like the whole Clevinger as a reliever experiment is over. The decision seemingly eliminates any path he would’ve had to fantasy relevance this season. The 34-year-old righty, who was removed earlier this week from Chicago’s 40-man roster, can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats until further notice.
White Sox sent RHP Mike Clevinger outright to Triple-A Charlotte.
It’s no surprise that a team wasn’t interested in Clevinger after he was designated for assignment. He can either report to Triple-A or elect free agency.
White Sox designated RHP Mike Clevinger for assignment.
Clevinger forged an ERA of 7.94 in his eight appearances with the White Sox. Chicago has seen enough, so Steven Wilson will take his place on the roster. It’s doubtful Clevinger will have interest on the waiver wire.
After entering a scoreless game in the ninth, Mike Clevinger gave up an infield single and then walked three straight batters to take a loss Tuesday against the Guardians.
Walks aren’t typically a major issue for Clevinger, but they have been this year; he’s issued seven to the 17 batters he’s faced. His velocity was also down significantly in this one, so it seems like something might be going on. Viewed as the favorite for saves in the White Sox pen, Clevinger has yet to actually receive a save chance, and this certainly won’t help his cause.
