Mike Clevinger Expected To Return Friday
2 years agoChicago White Sox starting pitcher Mike Clevinger (wrist) is expected to return from the 15-day injured list on Friday and start against the visiting Detroit Tigers. Manager Pedro Grifol said the team could shave Clevinger's pitch count by around 10 pitches in his first start back, but otherwise he won't be limited in his return this weekend. Jesse Scholtens, who had been replacing Clevinger in the starting rotation, is likely headed back to the minors. In nine starts for the Pale Hose before his injury, Clevinger had gone 3-3 with a 4.56 ERA (5.10 FIP), 1.46 WHIP, 22 walks and 40 strikeouts in 47 1/3 innings pitched. He'll be returning to a friendly matchup against the Tigers in the start of a three-game series, but Clevinger still won't be all that attractive for streaming purposes in his first start back.
