The Chicago White Sox recalled starting pitcher Mike Clevinger, who will make his season debut on Monday night in a series opener at Tampa Bay.
The right-hander, who had re-signed with the White Sox on a one-year, $3 million contact on April 4, was pitching for Triple-A Charlotte. He allowed three runs, 10 hits and three walks with seven strikeouts in 7 1/3 innings for a 3.68 ERA over two starts.
Clevinger, 33, played his first season with Chicago in 2023, when he was 9-9 with a 3.77 ERA, 40 walks, 110 strikeouts and two complete games over 24 starts (131 1/3 innings). He led the team in wins and paced their starters in ERA.
In a corresponding move, the White Sox placed right-hander Dominic Leone on the 15-day injured list with lower back tightness. The move is retroactive to Sunday.
Leone, 32, is 0-1 with a 6.75 ERA, 11 walks and 14 strikeouts in 14 2/3 innings over 17 relief appearances.
