Cleveland Indians pitcher Mike Clevinger will start on Wednesday against the Minnesota Twins in his return after being sent to the team's alternate site for violating the team's code of conduct, according to Tom Withers of the Associated Press.
Clevinger and fellow pitcher Zach Plesac reportedly left the team hotel to have dinner in Detroit earlier this month, breaking the COVID-19 protocols. Clevinger reportedly also lied about going out before traveling on the team plane, risking exposing his teammates to the disease, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN.
