The Tampa Bay Rays have sidelined left-handed reliever Garrett Cleavinger for at least 15 days due to tightness in his right calf, the team announced Friday.
The injury designation is effective as of Tuesday for the 31-year-old pitcher, who has posted a 1-1 record with a 7.71 earned run average through three outings this season.
Throughout his major league career spanning from 2020 to present, Cleavinger has compiled a 14-17 record with eight saves and a 3.25 ERA across 193 games with three different organizations, including one start.
To fill the vacant roster spot, Tampa Bay has promoted right-handed pitcher Hunter Bigge from their Triple-A affiliate in Durham.
The 27-year-old Bigge has appeared in two games for Durham’s bullpen this year, posting a 4.50 ERA without recording a win or loss.
