Mike Clevinger’s postseason with the Padres was cut short, but there is growing optimism that he’ll be 100 percent for next season.
A major question mark heading into the offseason was the health of the Padres‘ top two starters in Mike Clevinger and Dinelson Lamet. Both players had their 2020 regular seasons cut short with bicep tightness, but the former was able to return for Game 1 of the NLDS against the Dodgers.
