Mike Clevinger abuse allegations

Weeks after Mike Clevinger signed with the White Sox, the mother of one of his children, Olivia Finestead, accused him of domestic violence and child abuse. Finestead alleged via her Instagram account that Clevinger had repeatedly beaten her as well as used chewing tobacco on their child. Major League Baseball announced that Clevinger was under investigation for these charges, with the White Sox adding that they had no knowledge of the investigation prior to signing Clevinger.^[10] Clevinger was ultimately not disciplined for these accusations, with the league adding in a statement that the pitcher had agreed to voluntarily submit himself to evaluations by the joint treatment boards.^[11]

Liam Hendriks announces he has cancer

On January 8, 2023, White Sox closer Liam Hendriks announced that he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and was beginning treatment.^[12] Many former and current players, other teams, and personnel around Major League Baseball came out and showed their support for Liam. On April 3, just before the start in the White Sox Opening Day game against the San Francisco Giants, Hendriks appeared on the Guaranteed Rate Field video board stating that he was starting his last round of chemotherapy and was hoping to get back playing again soon.^[13] Two days after that announcement, Hendriks announced on his Instagram that he has finished chemotherapy.^[14]
