Clevenger was optioned to short-season Aberdeen on Sunday, Rich Dubroff of CSNBaltimore.com reports. The move is strictly procedural, as it allows the Orioles to call up Wei-Yin Chen from their Gulf Coast League affiliate to make the start Sunday against the Twins. Clevenger will be eligible to return to the Orioles on Tuesday, and is expected to provide the squad with depth at catcher and the corner infield during the season's final month.
