With righty Danny Salazar (right shoulder) starting the season on the DL, Clevinger will get a chance to start the year in Cleveland's rotation. Clevinger quietly had a strong showing (12-6, 3.11 ERA) in 2017.
Ramirez will make his season debut in the Angels' home opener against the Indians. The 29-year-old right-hander logged a 4.15 ERA over a career-high 147 1/3 innings for the Angels in 2017 in his first Major League season as a starter.
