29-Year-Old PitcherRP
Tampa Bay Rays
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Cleavinger, who underwent surgery in May to repair a torn ACL and meniscus in his right knee, is expected to be fully healthy for spring training. Prior to the injury, the southpaw was expected to secure a high-leverage role in the Rays' bullpen and compiled a respectable 3.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 14:6 K:BB ratio over 12 innings. The 29-year-old has not tallied any saves or holds through 55 career appearances, but that should change in 2024 if health permits and he keeps his walks (11 percent for his career) down.

No restrictions in spring training
PTampa Bay Rays
February 13, 2024
Cleavinger (knee) will not have any restrictions during spring training, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Cleavinger had ACL and meniscus surgery on his right knee last May but has made a full recovery. The left-hander boasts a 2.64 ERA and 39:10 K:BB over 30.2 innings during his time with the Rays and should work his way back into a high-leverage bullpen role.
