  The White Sox transferred Clevinger (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Saturday. Clevinger underwent season-ending disc replacement surgery Aug. 1. His move to the 60-day IL opened a spot on the 40-man roster, which will go to waiver pickup Enyel De Los Santos.

• White Sox's Mike Clevinger: Undergoing season-ending surgery

  07/27/2024 • By RotoWire

  Clevinger (elbow) will undergo disc replacement surgery on his neck Aug. 1 and miss the remainder of the 2024 season, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports. Clevinger paused his rehab assignment temporarily in June while recovering from elbow inflammation due to neck pain and logged two starts before being pulled off his assignment again July 23. After being returned, further testing revealed that the neck issue would require surgery. The 33-year-old will finish the 2024 season having made merely four MLB starts, logging a 6.75 ERA and 1.94 WHIP in 16 innings. It's unclear if Clevinger's recovery will linger into spring training.

• White Sox's Mike Clevinger: Pulled off rehab assignment

  07/23/2024 • By RotoWire

  The White Sox returned Clevinger (elbow/neck) from his rehab assignment Monday, and he's no longer scheduled to start for Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday as originally planned, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. "We'll reevaluate as we go," Grifol said of Clevinger's status. Grifol's comments don't offer much clarity regarding why Clevinger's rehab assignment was halted, but the right-hander presumably didn't bounce back well from his latest start with Charlotte on July 14, when he struck out three and allowed one earned run over four innings. Clevinger had already stretched out to 71 pitches over the course of his four rehab starts, so if he's not dealing with a major setback and is able to resume ramping up quickly, he could still have a chance at making it back from the 15-day injured list before the end of the month or early August. Clevinger was placed on the IL on May 28 with right elbow inflammation and also had his rehab program slowed down in late June due to a stiff neck.

• White Sox's Mike Clevinger: Hits four innings in rehab start

  07/15/2024 • By RotoWire

  Clevinger (elbow/neck) struck out three over four innings in his rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Charlotte, giving up one earned run on three hits and one walk. Clevinger tossed 51 pitches (35 strikes) in his fourth rehab outing with Charlotte and his second since he resumed his assignment after he was briefly shut down with neck stiffness. The White Sox will reassess Clevinger on Monday before determining what's next for him. Considering that manager Pedro Grifol told MLB.com on Friday that the right-hander was "a ways away from taking the ball and going six innings," it's possible the White Sox will want Clevinger to increase his pitch count in one more rehab start with Charlotte before he returns from the 15-day injured list. Clevinger was initially placed on the shelf May 28 with right elbow inflammation.

• White Sox's Mike Clevinger: Set for another rehab outing

  07/14/2024 • By RotoWire

  Clevinger (elbow) will make another rehab start with Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday, MLB.com reports. The White Sox had considered bringing Clevinger back before he was fully built up, though they'll opt to give him a second start on his most recent rehab assignment. He'll remain on the injured list through the All-Star break at least, and the team has not committed to immediately activating him when games start back up.
