Chicago White Sox pitcher Mike Clevinger will not face discipline under Major League Baseball’s joint domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy, MLB announced Sunday.
“I am pleased that Major League Baseball has concluded its investigation. I had nothing to hide and cooperated fully with MLB. This situation has been stressful for my family, and I thank them for their strength and support,” Clevinger said in a statement through the Major League Baseball Players Association. “I asked everyone not to rush to judgment until MLB’s investigation was concluded, and I appreciate everyone who had faith in me, including the White Sox organization and my teammates.
General Manager Rick Hahn said earlier this year that the team did not know MLB was investigating allegations against Clevinger when it signed him to a $12 million deal in December. Under the joint policy, investigations are confidential. When he reported to White Sox camp in February, Clevinger told reporters he had been under investigation for seven months. The allegations resulted in a San Diego police report in June, according to a copy obtained by The Washington Post. But Clevinger was under no legal obligation to inform MLB teams about the allegations, so he kept them to himself.Hahn said the White Sox did find “immaturity issues” as they looked into Clevinger’s background.
Clevinger has been a full participant at White Sox spring training. He is projected to make their starting rotation.
