Mike Clevinger (back) activated from IL to start Monday for Cleveland

Cleveland Indians pitcher Mike Clevinger (back) has been activated off the injured list and will start Monday against the Texas Rangers.

What It Means:

Clevinger has been out since April 7 with the back injury but after a few rehab appearances, he is ready to return to the big league rotation. Josh Smith was sent down to Triple-A in a corresponding move.
