Tampa St. Petersburg, FL, September 5, 2026 — The Tampa Bay Rays have announced a roster move involving pitcher Garrett Cleavinger.
Cleavinger has been placed on the 15-day injured list, a move attributed to forearm tightness. The duration of his absence is set for a minimum of 15 days, as dictated by the injury list designation.
Further details regarding the specific circumstances of the injury, the timeline of his recovery, or the potential impact on the team’s pitching rotation were not immediately available. The exact date Cleavinger last pitched or when the forearm tightness was first noted also has not been disclosed.
The team has not yet announced a corresponding roster move to fill Cleavinger’s spot on the active major league roster. Information regarding which pitcher will be called up or how the team plans to manage Cleavinger’s pitching duties in his absence is pending official announcements from the club.
Forearm tightness is a common ailment among pitchers and can range in severity. Players placed on the 15-day injured list are eligible to be activated by their team after 15 days have passed, provided they have recovered sufficiently. However, the return date for Cleavinger will depend on his medical assessment and rehabilitation progress. The club’s medical staff will be monitoring his condition closely.
