GLENDALE, Ariz. — Saying a weight was lifted and that he is happy he can devote all his focus to baseball, White Sox right-hander Mike Clevinger spoke for the first time Tuesday after Major League Baseball ruled he would not face discipline stemming from allegations of domestic abuse by Olivia Finestead.

“I’m just thankful for the due process playing out the way it is, and you know, the truth getting out there,” Clevinger said at the team’s spring training complex.
