Clevinger will move to a bullpen role Wednesday and he is a candidate to be optioned later in the week to clear space on the roster for Carlos Carrasco, Paul Hoynes of Cleveland.com reports.
Clevinger has officially lost his spot in the rotation for the time being after making a trio of underwhelming starts. He lasted just four innings in his most recent outing, allowing four earned runs on four hits while walking three batters. He'll work out of the bullpen for now, but he could be heading back to Triple-A Columbus on Thursday if the Indians choose to option him when they activate Carrasco.
