Garrett Cleavinger Earns Third Save Saturday Afternoon

Veteran lefthander Garrett Cleavinger earned his third save on Saturday, closing out the Toronto Blue Jays in a 5-4 victory. Closer Pete Fairbanks is back from the IL, but Cleavinger got the call to face the lefty portion of the Toronto lineup. He has been excellent for the Rays this year, going 3-0 with the aforementioned three saves, four holds, a 1.53 ERA, and a 1.25 WHIP in 17 innings in 2024. Fairbanks should get the bulk of the save opportunities, but Cleavinger could vulture some when the Rays have to face lefties in the ninth, or when Fairbanks needs a night off.

Garrett Cleavinger Records Second Save Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays reliever Garrett Cleavinger picked up his second save in four days in Wednesday's 7-5 victory over the Tigers. With closer Pete Fairbanks on the IL, Cleavinger has been used to close out games and has been successful so far in doing so. It was thought that this would be a closer-by-committee situation, but Jason Adam was used in the seventh and eighth innings in Wednesday's game, while Colin Poche blew a save opportunity on Tuesday, so Cleavinger might be the front runner for save opportunities at this point. These two saves were Cleavinger's first two of his career, so he has no prior experience in the role, but has a solid 2.53 ERA so far on the season and has struck out 14 batters in 10 2/3 IP. The command could use some work, as he's walked nine batters thus far including one in the ninth inning on Wednesday, but so far it hasn't been a real problem for him. The 30-year-old could get a handful more save opportunities with Fairbanks on the shelf, and could be picked up in most leagues for managers in need of saves.

No Restrictions For Garrett Cleavinger

Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash said that left-hander Garrett Cleavinger (knee) is considered fully healthy and won't have any restrictions in spring training. Cleavinger underwent ACL and meniscus surgery on his right knee in May of last year but is good to go for the 2024 campaign. The 29-year-old southpaw made 15 relief appearances for the Rays in 2023 before his injury, allowing five runs (four earned) on six hits (two homers) while walking six and striking out 14 in 12 innings. He should return to a high-leverage role in the back of Tampa's bullpen this year if he can stay healthy. Cleavinger doesn't have any career saves or holds, but he should at least get some holds under his belt this year.

Garrett Cleavinger Likely Out For The Season

Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Garrett Cleavinger (knee) is dealing with a torn right ACL in his knee and is likely out for the rest of the season. Cleavinger collided with New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks in the game on Sunday and will now face a long rehab. The 29-year-old southpaw was proving to be a key piece of Tampa's bullpen so far this year, posting a 3.00 ERA (4.94 FIP), 1.00 WHIP, six walks and 14 strikeouts in 12 innings over his 15 relief appearances. He was even better in 13 relief outings for the Rays in 2022 with a 2.41 ERA (1.77 FIP), 0.64 WHIP, four walks and 25 strikeouts in 18 2/3 innings pitched.

Garrett Cleavinger Placed On IL Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Garrett Cleavinger (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday with an oblique injury, according to Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register. To replace him on the active roster, the Dodgers recalled pitcher Justin Bruihl from Triple-A Oklahoma City. Cleavinger has had a solid year out of the bullpen, going 2-4 with a 3.00 ERA, 1.778 WHIP and 25 percent strikeout rate over 18 innings of work. However he hasn't been an option in SV/HLD formats, as he has no saves or holds over 22 appearances this season. He can safely be left on the waiver wire in all formats.

Garrett Cleavinger Activated From IL Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Garrett Cleavinger (forearm) was activated from the injured list on Thursday, according to Juan Toribio of MLB.com. Cleavinger had made eight appearances this season before being sidelined with left forearm inflammation, allowing six runs three earned on eight hits and four walks while striking out nine over six innings of work. He's shown in the minors that he can be a high strikeout reliever (30.4 K% over six seasons), and he could be a decent option in deeper SV/HLD formats going forward.

Garrett Cleavinger Looks Sharp During Rehab Outing

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Garrett Cleavinger (forearm) threw one scoreless inning during his first rehab appearance in Triple-A on Monday. He has been sidelined for a few weeks due to left forearm inflammation. Cleavinger only saw six innings of work with the Dodgers before going down due to injury. Hopefully, Cleavinger will be back with the team by the end of the month. Sadly, it's unlikely that Cleavinger offers much fantasy value since he won't be pitching in high leverage spots.
