Clevinger joined the White Sox on a one-year $8 million deal this offseason. The righty has spent seven years in the majors, albeit missing the entire 2021 campaign following Tommy John surgery. 

The surgery may have impacted his effectiveness on the mound, as Clevinger put up the fewest strikeouts per nine innings of his career last year. Further, he put up the highest ERA since his rookie campaign.

Still, Clevinger should stabilize the bottom half of the White Sox rotation. 

Chicago is looking to rebound after last season’s disappointing finish. They enter 2023 with the third-best odds to win the AL Central and are priced at +3000 on the World Series futures board at FanDuel Sportsbook.
