There’s plenty of time for the Sox to turn things around and have the kind of fun that goes hand-in-hand with winning, writes PWSullivan.
Eloy Jiménez was back in the Chicago White Sox lineup as the designated hitter Friday, returning from a hamstring injury that caused more anguish on the South Side than a block full of potholes.
It was a curious selection for Clevinger, whom MLB investigated for several months over allegations of domestic abuse made by the mother of one of his children. In March the commissioner’s office released a statement saying it would not impose discipline on Clevinger “in connection with these allegations.”
The Sox made Clevinger the No. 4 starter in the rotation over Michael Kopech, assuring he would not pitch in the home opener. He dominated the Orioles over six shutout innings Friday, allowing one hit while striking out five and walking five.

Moncada was not made available to the media, but general manager Rick Hahn said it was “manageable” and despite “slow progress” would eventually heal.
“We’re disappointed in how the start has gone thus far,” he said. “There have been times when the starting pitching was probably the culprit for keeping us out of games. There have been times when the bullpen . “When I came up, I talked to and had a role set,” Burger said Friday. “It was going to be Sheets and I platooning in the DH role. Unfortunately, Yoán has an injury. You never want to see anyone get hurt. I’m just going to fill in in that spot. I feel good over there.”
