ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Right-hander Mike Clevinger was recalled by the Chicago White Sox and allowed four runs and six hits over two-plus innings in his season debut on Monday night against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Clevinger walked four and had no strikeouts. He threw 31 of 54 pitches for strikes.
The 33-year-old made two starts for Triple-A Charlotte, allowing three runs and 10 hits, along with seven strikeouts over 7 1/3 innings.
The Rays loaded the bases with no outs in the second before scoring three times on Jonny DeLuca’s two-run opposite-field ground single to right and a run-scoring fielder’s choice grounder by Yandy Díaz.
Amed Rosario had a leadoff triple in the third and scored on Harold Ramírez's RBI single as the Rays went ahead 4-2. Clevinger was replaced by Jared Shuster after walking José Caballero that put runners on first and second with no outs.
Shuster retired all three hitters he faced in the third.
Clevinger can earn an additional $3 million in bonuses for starts and innings: $100,000 per start from 11-25 and $100,000 for 55 innings and each additional five through 125.
Clevinger went 9-9 with a 3.77 ERA and two complete games in 24 starts with the White Sox last season, then became a free agent.
He is 60-39 with a 3.45 ERA in 128 starts and 24 relief appearances in eight seasons with Cleveland (2016-20), San Diego (2020-22) and Chicago (2023). He missed the 2021 season after Tommy John surgery.
Chicago also placed right-hander Dominic Leone on the 15-day injured list with lower back tightness.
