Rest-of-Season Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
The White Sox made one of the first big splashes of the offseason, signing Clevinger to a one-year, $12 million deal. Clevinger's return from November 2020 Tommy John surgery was delayed by a sore knee and he would go on to miss additional time with a triceps strain, but the right-hander still took the mound 23 times for San Diego (22 starts) during the 2022 regular season. His fastball velocity was down more than a tick from the last time we saw him and his strikeout rate was nowhere close to where it was during his peak years with Cleveland (18.8 K% last season). His home-run rate shot up to a career-high 1.6 HR/9. It's tough to evaluate Clevinger for 2023 given the additional injuries on top of rehab from reconstructive elbow surgery. In theory, Clevinger should get closer to being himself the further he is removed from surgery, but he has totaled just 282 innings since the start of the 2019 season and should be projected conservatively.

Throwing bullpen session Saturday
Clevinger (wrist) is slated to throw a bullpen session Saturday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
ANALYSIS
If it goes well, he'll throw a live batting practice session a couple days after that. The goal is for Clevinger to skip a rehab assignment and be activated from the IL when first eligible June 2 to start against the Tigers. He's been dealing with right wrist inflammation.

Now 16 months removed from Tommy John surgery, Clevinger believes he's made a full recovery from the procedure. The reports on his progress have been encouraging and Clevinger thinks he will be ready to go for the start of the 2022 season. New Padres manager Bob Melvin made it clear that Clevinger will be in the rotation, though Melvin added the caveat, "if 100 percent healthy." The team is taking it slowly with Clevinger this spring, which makes sense even if Clevinger is near the back-end of the usual recovery window from TJS. He had a brilliant 2018 season with Cleveland when he posted a 3.02 ERA over 200 innings, but the right-hander has never reached 130 innings in any other big-league season. A bet on Clevinger is a leap of faith on the health. The skills we've seen in the past make it tempting to take that leap.
