The Chicago White Sox designated reliever Mike Clevinger for assignment Wednesday and promoted reliever Steven Wilson from Triple-A Charlotte.

The 34-year-old Clevinger signed a minor league deal in the offseason and claimed a spot in the bullpen coming out of spring training, but the Sox moved on after he posted an 0-2 record with a 7.94 ERA in eight appearances. The right-hander surrendered five hits and eight walks in 5 2/3 innings while fanning just three.

The 30-year-old Wilson, designated for assignment in February, rejoins the team after posting a 1.69 ERA and one save in five games for Charlotte. The right-hander allowed five hits and one walk in 5 1/3 innings and struck out 10.

In 2024, Wilson's first season with the Sox, he went 1-6 with a 5.71 ERA in 40 appearances. Between that and his two seasons in San Diego (2022-23), Wilson is 6-10 in 142 games (one start) with a 4.03 ERA and 9.2 strikeouts per nine innings.
