Jonatan Clase - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Heading to bench Monday Clase is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

Impact Clase will head to the bench Monday after he went 0-for-5 with a walk and three strikeouts while starting in two of the Blue Jays' three games against the White Sox over the weekend. Myles Straw will receive the nod in left field in the series opener, but Clase will likely rank as the Blue Jays' preferred option at the position until Jesus Sanchez (ankle) makes his return from the injured list.

Goes yard in Saturday's loss Clase went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, two walks and a second run scored in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Padres.

Impact Clase has two homers among his four hits over five games since joining the Blue Jays' big-league roster. He's added five RBI. Clase looks to be getting a chance at a starting role in left field -- he's started four straight games there, pushing Myles Straw into more of a reserve role. Clase is a switch hitter, so as long as his bat is hot, he should be able to avoid getting platooned, at least until Jesus Sanchez (ankle) is healthy again.

Knocks homer in first start Clase went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Giants.

Impact This was Clase's first start of the season since his call-up last Wednesday. The outfielder delivered a big hit early on, going deep off Trevor McDonald in the second inning. Clase potentially has a clearer path to playing time moving forward, as Yohendrick Pinango was demoted to Triple-A Buffalo ahead of Tuesday's contest. Clase could get a share of the playing time in left field while Jesus Sanchez (ankle) remains on the injured list.

Draws first call-up of 2026 The Blue Jays recalled Clase from Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.

Impact Clase received his first call-up of the season after the Blue Jays had a need for an extra bat while George Springer (personal) is on the paternity leave list. Springer is expected to be away from the team for just 1-to-3 days, so Clase's stay with the big club will likely be a brief one. The switch-hitting outfielder has produced a .223./321/.359 slash line with five home runs and 17 steals over 53 games at Triple-A this season.

Optioned to Triple-A The Blue Jays optioned Clase to Triple-A Buffalo on Monday.

Impact Clase was a longshot candidate to make the Blue Jays' Opening Day roster. The 23-year-old will start the season in the minors but would be a top candidate for a major-league call-up if Toronto requires additional depth in the outfield. Clase appeared in 34 regular-season games for the Blue Jays in 2025, with most of those appearances taking place between early May and late June. He posted a .588 OPS with three steals, two home runs and nine RBI in 112 major-league plate appearances last year.

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.
