Chicago White Sox pitcher Mike Clevinger will not face any discipline following MLB’s investigation into allegations of domestic violence and child abuse, according to ESPN’s Jesse Rogers.
Clevinger, 32, will voluntarily submit to evaluations by MLB and MLBPA joint treatment boards which cover domestic violence and “drugs of abuse” and has agreed to comply with any recommendations that board makes, per Rogers.
MLB released a statement on the decision:
This marks the close of the investigation.
The right-hander had been under investigation by MLB dating back to last summer while a member of the San Diego Padres but the probe first became public in January after a report in The Athletic detailed the accusations against him made by Olivia Finestead, the mother of one of his children.
Finestead posted a photo on Instagram on Jan. 24 that showed marks on her body which she alleged was from “when he threw an iPad at me pregnant” and “finally left when he strangled me.”
She also accused the pitcher of illegal drug use and that he once “threw chew spit on our baby.”
Clevinger, who signed a one-year, $12 million deal with the White Sox this past winter, reported to spring training last month and denied the allegations, pleading the public to wait before rushing to judgment.
MLB’s decision came after Clevinger had pitched in a spring training B game against the Dodgers on Sunday.
The pitcher also released a statement via the MLBPA:
