Garrett Cleavinger remains sidelined with forearm tightness during the season's final stretch

Cleavinger has not pitched over the last two weeks after landing on the 15-day injured list on September 5 due to left forearm tightness. Prior to the injury, the left-hander scuffled across six appearances over the last 30 days, logging a 16.36 ERA and 2.73 WHIP across 3.3 frames. His absence tests depth for the first-place Rays, who sit atop the AL East at 95-60 riding a two-game winning streak.

Cleavinger’s 2026 campaign has been a turbulent regression from his previous form, posting a 5.58 ERA and 1.66 WHIP despite securing 23 holds and 54 strikeouts across 35.5 innings. While our projections anticipated a 3.46 ERA, severe command issues and elevated walks repeatedly put him in jeopardy. With a forearm ailment lingering late in September, a meaningful recovery before the regular season wraps looks improbable.

Tampa Bay embarks on a seven-game road trip against the Yankees and Phillies, but Cleavinger will not be on the active roster to provide holds. Fantasy managers navigating finals matchups cannot afford to roster an injured reliever with no confirmed return date. Sit.
