Mike Clevinger Could Continue Build-Up In Big-League Rotation
5 months agoChicago White Sox right-hander Mike Clevinger (elbow) threw 61 pitches in 2 2/3 innings during his minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday night. Manager Pedro Grifol said the team will find out how Clevinger is feeling on Wednesday. If he's healthy, it's possible he could be built back up on the fly in the big leagues with him making shorter starts in the White Sox's rotation. At best, the 33-year-old will be a matchup-based streamer for those in deeper fantasy leagues, but not until the second half of the season when his arm is built up more to go deeper into games. Clevinger has been sidelined since late May with right-elbow inflammation after getting a late start to the season, and he also suffered a setback due to a neck issue. He didn't look good in his first four starts before landing on the injured list, posting a 6.75 ERA.
