Right-hander Mike Clevinger struggled in his season debut, allowing four runs and six hits over two-plus innings, walking four and having no strikeouts, throwing 31 of 54 pitches for strikes.
Clevinger can earn an additional $3 million in bonuses for starts and innings, with incentives based on the number of starts and innings pitched.
Clevinger's history includes a 3.45 ERA in 128 starts and 24 relief appearances in eight seasons with various teams, missing the 2021 season due to Tommy John surgery.
Chicago also placed right-hander Dominic Leone on the 15-day injured list with lower back tightness.
