Mike Clevinger Stats

Chicago White Sox right-hander Mike Clevinger (illness) was dealing with a sinus infection during Wednesday's start against the Texas Rangers. Clevinger's fastball sat around 92-94 mph and noted that he was missing an "extra gear" throughout his start. Despite the decreased velocity in his fastball, Clevinger tossed five clean innings despite yielding a solo shot to outfielder Clint Frazier. He struck out three batters and granted just one walk. Clevinger avoided serious repercussions after reported allegations of abuse, but the 32-year-old will not serve a suspension. He signed with the White Sox on a one-year, $8 million deal in the offseason, and is expected to play a vital role in the team's rotation. In 2022, he posted a 4.33 ERA across 22 starts with the San Diego Padres and hopes to turn things around in 2023.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Mike Clevinger said he will make his Cactus League debut on Saturday against his former team, the San Diego Padres. The league was investigating Clevinger after domestic-violence chargers were made against him, but MLB has decided not to discipline him this season. It's good news for his fantasy value in 2023, but the 32-year-old right-hander still isn't all that attractive after going 7-7 with a 4.33 ERA (4.97 FIP), 1.19 WHIP and career-low 18.8 percent strikeout rate in 114 1/3 innings over 23 outings (22 starts) for the Friars in 2022. Clevinger will need to rediscover some velocity if he wants to improve his K rate, and home runs could continue to be a problem. Injuries have been an issue as well, so fantasy managers should project a low ceiling in his first year in the American League Central.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Mike Clevinger is not expected to face any disciplinary action from the MLB following their investigation. The 32-year-old was under investigation for domestic violence and child abuse. The right-hander has agreed to all evaluations from the league and will comply with any recommendations from the MLB. Clevinger has already been throwing this spring, so his Cactus League debut might not be too far away. He posted an underwhelming 4.33 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and a 91/35 K/BB ratio over 22 starts with the San Diego Padres last season. Possibly, a chance of scenery will help Clevinger, but his fantasy value is certainly shaky heading into the season.
