Mike Clevinger career

Los Angeles Angels

The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim selected Clevinger in the 4th round of the 2011 Major League Baseball draft. He spent 2011 with the rookie-level Orem Owlz, then was promoted to the Cedar Rapids Kernels the following year, pitching in 8 games. He had elbow reconstruction surgery, and as a result, only pitched in 3 total games in 2013.

Cleveland Indians

Following pitching for 2 separate minor league organizations for the Angels in 2014, on August 7 he was traded to the Cleveland Indians for Vinnie Pestano. Clevinger spent 2015 with the Double-A Akron RubberDucks, going 9–8 with a 2.73 received run average (ERA). The Indians added him to their 40-man roster following the season.

Clevinger was named up by the Indians on May 18, 2016, and made his major league debut that evening. He backed to the minor leagues following 3 starts, spending the next 3 months with the Columbus Clippers. Clevinger completes his time with Columbus with 11 wins, a loss, and a 3.00 ERA. He was named to return again on August 4, 2016, to start against the Minnesota Twins. He completed the season appearing in 17 games, 10 of them starting, going 3–3 in 53 innings. Following injuries to a few starters in 2017, Clevinger stepped into the rotation and proved to be an asset for the Indians going forward. He completed with a 12–6 record in 27 games, and 21 starts. He struck out 137 batters in 121+2⁄3 innings.

Clevinger and teammate Zach Plesac were placed on the restricted list by the Indians and sent home by the team following violating COVID-19 safety protocols on August 11, 2020. Clevinger and Plesac faced significant backlash from teammates over their behavior, with Óliver Pérez revealing that he would leave the team if they back to the roster. Teammates were also frustrated about potentially exposing Carlos Carrasco, who recently had leukemia, to the coronavirus.

San Diego Padres

The Indians traded Clevinger, along with Greg Allen and Matt Waldron to the San Diego Padres in exchange for Austin Hedges, Josh Naylor, Cal Quantrill, and minor league players Gabriel Arias, Owen Miller, and Joey Cantillo on August 31, 2020. Clevinger and the Padres agreed to a 2-year contract extension, with annual salaries of $2 million in 2021 and $6.5 million in 2022, with a $3 million signing bonus on November 15, 2020.
