Mike Clevinger To Throw Live Batting Practice Friday
6 months agoChicago White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said on Thursday that right-hander Mike Clevinger (elbow) will throw live batting practice on Friday and will eventually require a minor-league rehab start or two before the White Sox consider reinstating him from the 15-day injured list. Clevinger re-signed with the White Sox late and didn't make his first start until May before landing on the shelf on May 28 with right-elbow inflammation. The 33-year-old will likely take his time to build his arm back up this time around and may not be ready to return to the big leagues before the All-Star break in mid-July. Clevinger didn't really look good in his four starts this season, allowing 13 runs (12 earned) on 22 hits (four homers) while walking nine and striking out 15 in 16 innings. When he returns, Clevinger will be a low-upside, matchup-based streaming option in deeper fantasy leagues.
