Denzel Clarke - Page 8 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Records first major-league RBI Clarke went 2-for-3 with an RBI single and two runs scored during Friday's 11-7 loss to Toronto.

Impact The game was already out of reach for the Athletics heading into the ninth inning, but Clarke gave the A's a bit of a spark with an RBI single before being brought home on a double by Lawrence Butler. It was Clarke's first RBI and multi-hit game of his major-league career. The 25-year-old outfielder has gone 3-for-22 over his first seven games with the Athletics, but he's still adjusting to major-league quality pitching as he's struck out 16 times in that span.

MAY 23, 2025 • BLUEJAYSNATION.COM

Set for promotion The A's are planning to promote Clarke to the majors on Friday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Clarke is among the A's top prospects and his status has risen quickly in the last year after he made a mechanical adjustment at the plate. While he's played in a very hitter-friendly environment with Triple-A Las Vegas this season, Clarke has struck out at a modest 22 percent clip while walking an impressive 18 percent of the time. His power may not immediately translate to the majors, but he has elite speed and is an above-average defender in center field -- the latter of which should afford him consistent playing time.

Heads to minor-league camp The Athletics optioned Clarke to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

Impact Clarke was one of 13 players the Athletics reassigned or optioned to minor-league camp Monday in the club's latest round of roster cuts. The Athletics added the 24-year-old outfielder to their 40-man roster in November following a 2024 season in which he slashed .269/.339/.445 with 13 home runs and 36 steals over 478 plate appearances at Double-A Midland. Clarke is likely to spend most of the upcoming season at Las Vegas but should have the opportunity to make his MLB debut at some point in 2025 if he shows he can handle pitching in the Pacific Coast League.

MARCH 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Gets 40-man roster spot The Athletics selected Clarke's contract from Double-A Midland on Tuesday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Clarke is now on the 40-man roster after slashing .269/.339/.446 with 13 homers and 36 stolen bases at Midland last season. The 24-year-old can play all three outfield spots and will likely begin the 2025 campaign at Triple-A Las Vegas.

Likely done for season Clarke, who was placed on Double-A Midland's 7-day injured list in late July with a left shoulder strain, was transferred to the 60-day IL on Tuesday, Melissa Lockard of The Athlet...

Impact Given that Clarke last played July 21, he won't be eligible for activation until late September, essentially spelling an end to his 2023 campaign. Lockard notes that Clarke missed the first three weeks of the season with a left shoulder strain, so he may have aggravated the injury to his non-throwing arm at some point after making his 2023 debut April 25. The 23-year-old outfielder will wrap up the campaign with a .261/.381/.496 slash line with 12 home runs and 11 stolen bases in 286 plate appearances.

Returns from Double-A injured list Clarke (shoulder) is slashing .382/.488/.941 with four home runs, 13 runs, 11 RBI and one stolen base in 43 plate appearances over his nine games since being activated from Double-...

Impact Clarke missed the first two and a half weeks of the minor-league season while recovering from a left shoulder strain, but he hasn't had any trouble tapping into power upon being activated from the IL. For all his success thus far, the 23-year-old outfielder is striking out at a 30.2 percent clip, so expect his production to drop off considerably once his .500 BABIP regresses to a normal level.
