Clevinger is joining the Indians and will make his first big-league start of the season Sunday in Kansas City, Paul Hoynes of Cleveland.com reports.
The move comes as expected, but a little later than originally thought. Thursday's rainout against Detroit gave the Tribe an extra day to get by without pushing Clevinger off his schedule at Triple-A Columbus. The right-hander made his MLB debut with the Indians last year, going 3-3 with a 5.26 ERA in 17 games, including 10 starts.
