Cleavinger was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
Cleavinger was traded from the Dodgers to the Rays at the beginning of August, and he posted a 1.00 ERA and 0.56 WHIP in nine innings over nine relief appearances at Durham over the last several weeks. The southpaw should serve mainly as a middle reliever with the major-league club.
