30-Year-Old PitcherRP
Tampa Bay Rays
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Cleavinger, who underwent surgery in May to repair a torn ACL and meniscus in his right knee, is expected to be fully healthy for spring training. Prior to the injury, the southpaw was expected to secure a high-leverage role in the Rays' bullpen and compiled a respectable 3.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 14:6 K:BB ratio over 12 innings. The 29-year-old has not tallied any saves or holds through 55 career appearances, but that should change in 2024 if health permits and he keeps his walks (11 percent for his career) down.

Notches save Thursday
PTampa Bay Rays
September 19, 2024
Cleavinger earned a save against the Red Sox on Thursday, striking out two batters in a perfect inning of work.
ANALYSIS
Cleavinger threw 15 of 19 pitches for strikes and recorded multiple punchouts for the first time since Aug. 14. The save was his second of September and his sixth overall this season. The last three Rays saves have been claimed by three different relievers, so it's clear that the team prefers a committee approach to the closer role.
