5 years agoCleveland Indians starting pitcher Mike Clevinger is set to return from his back injury on June 17 at the Texas Rangers. Clevinger had a breakout season in 2018 but only started two games in 2019 before suffering the injury. In those two games he allowed no runs and struck out 22 in 12 innings, so there's no reason to think his 2018 was a fluke. After such a long layoff Clevinger will return against a solid lineup at a big-time hitter's park, so caution may be somewhat warranted just for that first start, but it will be difficult to sit Clevinger in most fantasy leagues Monday.--Nathaniel Green
