Latest news
The Rays have included Cleavinger on their World Series roster, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Cleavinger was on the ALDS roster but ceded his ALCS roster spot to Brody Hopkins, and the two hurlers have now flipped spots again. Neither Cleavinger nor Hopkins have made an appearance this postseason.

Cleavinger will not be on the Rays' ALCS roster, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.
Cleavinger returned from a forearm injury in time to be part of the ALDS roster, but the southpaw did not make an appearance against the Yankees. He's roster spot will be absorbed by Brody Hopkins.

Rays manager Kevin Cash said Friday that Cleavinger (forearm) has been cleared to be part of the ALDS roster, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Cleavinger was unavailable for almost all of September as he dealt with left forearm tightness, but he's been throwing for a couple weeks and will be available for the beginning of the Rays' playoff run. The veteran southpaw was officially reinstated from the injured list Monday after the completion of Tampa Bay's regular season. Cleavinger had an up-and-down 2026 campaign, finishing with a 4.79 ERA and 54:22 K:BB over 41.1 frames.

Cleavinger (forearm) is expected to resume mound work Saturday, MLB.com reports.
If all goes well, the hope is that Cleavinger will progress to bullpen sessions shortly thereafter. The Rays shut the southpaw down in early September due to left forearm tightness, but he should have a chance to rejoin the Tampa Bay bullpen either before the end of the regular season or at some point during the playoffs.

Cleavinger (forearm) has resumed playing catch but still doesn't have a timetable for a return from the 15-day injured list, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Cleavinger landed on the IL in early September with left forearm tightness. A timeline for the reliever's return won't come into focus until he's throwing off the mound, and it's unclear when he'll be cleared for that. Cleavinger has logged a 4.79 ERA and 54:22 K:BB over 41.1 frames in 2026.

The Rays placed Cleavinger on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to left forearm tightness, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
The 32-year-old southpaw may have picked up the injury during Friday's outing against the Rangers, when he allowed two runs on two hits (including a home run) and a walk while failing to record an out. He's eligible to return from the IL on Sept. 20, and he expressed confidence Saturday that he would pitch again this season, per Ryan Bass of Rays.tv. Right-hander Ty Johnson had his contract selected from Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move.
