Mike Clevinger Returns to White Sox for Season Debut Against Rays

After a brief stint in Triple-A, pitcher Mike Clevinger is set to start against Tampa Bay Rays, marking his return to Major League Baseball.

Clevinger, recently re-signed for $3 million, showcased a promising form in Triple-A with a 3.68 ERA over two starts.
The 33-year-old pitcher aims to replicate last season’s performance where he led the White Sox with a 3.77 ERA in 24 starts.
His contract includes potential bonuses, offering $100,000 for each game from his 11th to 25th start and additional innings pitched.
In a corresponding team adjustment, the White Sox placed right-hander Dominic Leone on the 15-day injured list due to lower back tightness.
Clevinger’s return is a strategic move as the White Sox look to bolster their pitching roster amidst the current season challenges.
