Eligibility
Mike Clevinger pitched 4 2/3 innings, allowing one earned run on four hits with no walks and five strikeouts in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Guardians.
Fantasy Impact
Despite a solid outing where he managed to keep his walks down and strikeouts up, Clevinger's efforts translated into a no-decision. His season stats, including a high 5.40 ERA and 2.10 WHIP, suggest ongoing struggles, and his performance today, although improved, still reflects a pitcher trying to find his form. Fantasy managers should remain cautious, as his high ERA and WHIP are concerning, despite the decent strikeout numbers and improved control shown in this game.
Mike Clevinger had a rough outing in Monday's 8-2 loss to the Rays.
Fantasy Impact
He allowed three earned runs on six hits and four walks over just two innings, failing to strike out any batters. This performance has ballooned his ERA to 13.50 and WHIP to 5.00 early in the season, signaling major red flags for fantasy managers. With a non-existent strikeout-to-walk ratio and a high BABIP, Clevinger’s ability to contribute positively in fantasy formats is highly questionable. Managers should consider benching him until he shows signs of improvement, as his current form could be a liability.
The White Sox have recalled Mike Clevinger from Triple-A Charlotte.
Fantasy Impact
Clevinger signed with the White Sox at the beginning of April and has been with Charlotte getting ramped up. The veteran posted a 3.77 ERA in 24 starts last season.
Mike Clevinger is expected to make his season debut on Monday against the Rays.
Fantasy Impact
It is not confirmed, but what is expected barring a surprise. Clevinger has made two starts in Triple-A, so he may not be completely stretched out.
The Chicago White Sox are increasingly speaking about bringing back right-hander Mike Clevinger.
Fantasy Impact
Clevinger spent the 2023 season with the White Sox and worked to a solid 3.77 ERA across 24 starts, going 9-9- in that time. He had his club option declined by the team earlier in the offseason but it appears a reunion is possible with fellow righty Michael Kopech being moved to the bullpen.
