The Chicago White Sox have designated Mike Clevinger for assignment after a rocky performance in a relief role. Manager Will Venable explained that as the team's bullpen settled in, they believed right-hander Steven Wilson would provide a better chance for success. Clevinger, who had previously shown promise with the team, struggled this season with an ERA of 7.94 over five relief outings. His return to the Sox followed a challenging 2023 season with injuries and surgeries, signaling a difficult transition from starting pitcher to relief specialist.
Clevinger's role shifted as the bullpen became more established, leading the White Sox to designate him for assignment in favor of the more effective Steven Wilson.
Manager Will Venable noted that with other players becoming more comfortable, Clevinger wasn't utilized as originally intended, aligning with the shifting dynamics of the team.
