In 24 starts last season, Clevinger posted a 9-9 record with a 3.77 ERA with 110 strikeouts in 131.1 innings of work.
Clevinger started two games for the Triple-A Charlotte Knights before joining the big league roster, posting a 3.68 ERA and striking out seven batters in 7.1 innings.
Leone played in 17 games with the White Sox this season, with an 0-1 record and a 6.75 ERA. He struck out 14 batters and walked 11 in 14.2 innings of work.
The White Sox, fresh off their first road series victory of the season after winning two straight games against the St. Louis Cardinals, will face the Rays at 5:50 pm Central on Monday, with the game being broadcast on NBC Sports Chicago.
