Right-hander pitcher Mike Clevinger flew home with his teammates Sunday despite knowing he had broken the club’s COVID-19 protocols by going out in Chicago with right-hander Zach Plesac during Cleveland’s weekend trip, according to a person familiar with the situation.

Clevinger did not admit that he had violated the rules during a team meeting Sunday to discuss Plesac being sent home by the team, said the person who spoke Monday night to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.
Clevinger will not make his scheduled start Tuesday as he undergoes testing and heads into quarantine.
Clevinger, who is 1-1 with a 3.24 ERA, and Plesac will have to test negative for COVID-19 twice in 72 hours before they'll be allowed to rejoin any team activities.
Plesac and Clevinger’s actions particularly jeopardized the health of fellow pitcher Carlos Carrasco, who was recently diagnosed with leukemia last year. It is unclear if the pitchers will face punishment from the team.
Both players are being counted on as part of a strong Cleveland pitching staff that has carried the club through 17 games.
