Jonatan Clase - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Demoted to Triple-A The Blue Jays optioned Clase to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

Impact Clase had been seeing fairly steady playing time in the Toronto outfield since being promoted from Triple-A on May 7, but he slashed a dismal .219/.299/.313 with two home runs and three stolen bases in 34 games. In a corresponding move, Toronto recalled Leo Jimenez to provide depth in the middle infield while shortstop Bo Bichette is day-to-day with a knee injury, but Myles Straw, Davis Schneider and Will Wagner may be more likely candidates to benefit from added opportunities in the outfield or at designated hitter now that Clase is out of the mix.

Late addition to Monday's lineup Clase will start in left field and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Yankees.

Impact Clase had been on track to open Monday's contest in a reserve role, but he'll end up starting as a result of the lineup reshuffling that was created by Bo Bichette (knee) being scratched. The 23-year-old will pick up his fourth start in five games, but he'll likely see his opportunities dwindle once one or both of Daulton Varsho (hamstring) or Anthony Santander (shoulder) return from the injured list.

Getting night off Clase is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

Impact The switch-hitting Clase had started in three of the past four games, but he'll hit the bench Monday while Davis Schneider replaces him in left field as the Yankees send southpaw Carlos Rodon to the bump. Though injuries to Daulton Varsho (hamstring) and Anthony Santander (shoulder) have cleared the way for Clase to earn more playing time in the outfield, the 23-year-old hasn't been able to capitalize on the opportunities. He's hitting just .155/.234/.259 over 21 games in June.

Sitting against RHP again Clase is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Clase had mostly been occupying the strong side of a platoon in center field since Daulton Varsho (hamstring) landed on the injured list June 1, but Myles Straw will stick in the lineup for a second straight matchup versus a right-handed pitcher (Adrian Houser). Clase has produced a .464 OPS in June, and though Straw hasn't been any better at the plate over that stretch (.433 OPS), his superior defense may be tipping the scales in his favor.

Sitting against RHP again Clase is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Clase had mostly been occupying the strong side of a platoon with Myles Straw in center field since Daulton Varsho (hamstring) landed on the injured list June 1, but Straw will stick in the lineup for a second straight matchup versus a right-handed pitcher (Adrian Houser) while Clase remains on the bench. Dating back to the beginning of the month, Clase has produced a .464 OPS, and though Straw hasn't been any better over that stretch (.433 OPS), the Blue Jays may place more value in the superior defense Straw brings in center field.

Goes yard in Thursday's loss Clase went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to Arizona.

Impact The 23-year-old took Anthony DeSclafani deep in the eighth inning as the Blue Jays tried to mount a late comeback from a 9-1 deficit. Clase has seen regular action in June due to all the injuries in the Toronto outfield, but he largely hasn't been able to take advantage, slashing .146/.205/.293 over 44 plate appearances on the month with two solo homers, two additional runs scored and a 31.8 percent strikeout rate.

Returns to lineup Clase (knee) will start in center field and bat ninth in Thursday's game versus the Diamondbacks.

Impact Clase didn't play Wednesday after departing Tuesday's contest when he was hit by a pitch on the right knee. After the day off, Clase has apparently made enough progress in his recovery from the bruised knee to give it a go Thursday. Clase will likely serve as the Blue Jays' primary option in center field until Daulton Varsho (hamstring) is ready to come off the injured list.

Returns to lineup Clase (knee) will start in center field and bat ninth in Thursday's game versus the Diamondbacks.

Impact Clase didn't play Wednesday after departing Tuesday's contest following a hit-by-pitch on the right knee. He's feeling well enough to give it a go Thursday as the Blue Jays go for the sweep.

Sitting after getting hurt Tuesday Clase (knee) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Clase was one of two Blue Jays center fielders who exited in the fifth inning of Tuesday's 5-4 win, with Myles Straw also checking out of the game due to an ankle sprain. Neither Clase nor Straw is ready to play Wednesday, so the Blue Jays will turn to George Springer to man center field. Consider both Clase and Straw as day-to-day until the Blue Jays provide further updates on their statuses.

Exits with bruised knee Clase was removed from Tuesday's game due to a right knee contusion.

Impact Clase took a 93-mph sinker off his knee in the fourth inning of Tuesday's contest and was replaced on defense for the start of the fifth. The fact that he was able to run for himself is a positive sign that he avoided a serious injury, though he may still need a day or two off to recover.

Taking seat Friday Clase is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Clase is absent from the starting nine Friday after making three consecutive starts, two at left field, one at center field. In the wake of his absence, Davis Schneider, Myles Straw and Addison Barger will fill the outfield from left to right.

Connects on clutch homer Clase went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 5-4 win in 10 innings against St. Louis on Monday.

Impact Clase came through when Toronto needed him most, smashing a 415-foot solo homer with one out in the ninth inning to tie the game. The long ball was his first of the campaign over 69 plate appearances and just the second of his major-league career. Clase's big performance was sorely needed, as he entered Monday having gone 0-for-14 over his previous four games.
