The Chicago White Sox and right-hander Mike Clevinger have agreed to a one-year deal, a source told ESPN confirming multiple reports.
Clevinger, 33, is 60-39 with a 3.45 ERA in 788 innings across seven seasons in the big leagues, including a 9-9 stint with the White Sox last season.
A fourth-round pick by the Los Angeles Angels in 2011, Clevinger established himself as a front-of-the-rotation starter with the Cleveland Guardians, where he posted a 2.96 ERA and averaged 149 innings from 2017 to 2019.
The San Diego Padres acquired Clevinger as part of a nine-player trade in August 2020, but he sustained what was diagnosed as a right elbow impingement in late September and underwent Tommy John surgery early in the ensuing offseason before missing all of 2021.
