Mike Clevinger Avoids Structural Damage, IL Stint Still Likely
2 years agoChicago White Sox starting pitcher Mike Clevinger (biceps) said he doesn't have structural damage in his shoulder or elbow, but he's dealing with fluid in his biceps after being forced from his start early on Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Clevinger called it the "best news possible." However, an injured-list stint seems likely. The White Sox haven't made an official move, but fantasy managers should prepare for one in the coming days. The 32-year-old right-hander has already spent time on the IL this year, but he's been solid when healthy, going 3-4 with a 3.88 ERA (4.89 FIP), 1.36 WHIP, 26 walks and 53 strikeouts in 62 2/3 innings in his 12 starts. Still, fantasy managers in deep-mixed leagues won't feel compelled to hang onto Clevinger after his latest injury setback.
