Impact Clarke missed three days while tending to a personal matter. He's now back with the Diamondbacks' bullpen, and lefty reliever Philip Abner was optioned to Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move.

Returning Sunday Manager Torey Lovullo revealed that Clarke is expected to return from the bereavement list Sunday versus the Nationals, Jose M. Romero of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact With the right-hander returning Sunday, he will have missed the minimum three games. Kade Strowd or Philip Abner are likely candidates to be sent down to make room for Clarke since they both joined the big club as part of the corresponding moves.

JANUARY 15 • MLB.COM

Reunites with Diamondbacks The Diamondbacks signed Clarke to a one-year contract Thursday.

Impact It's a homecoming for Clarke, who was drafted by the Diamondbacks and initially broke into the majors with Arizona. The right-handed reliever spent the 2025 campaign with the Royals, collecting a 3.25 ERA and 44:9 K:BB across 55.1 frames. Clarke has eight career saves and the Diamondbacks have an unsettled bullpen, but it would still be a surprise if he sees many, if any, save opportunities in the desert.

Parts ways with Royals The Royals non-tendered Clarke on Friday.

Impact Clarke enjoyed the best season of his MLB career in 2025, turning in a 3.25 ERA and 0.85 WHIP alongside a 44:9 K:BB across 55.1 innings. Despite his success, the Royals will elect to let the 32-year-old righty enter free agency, where his breakout campaign is likely to draw some interest from bullpen-needy teams.

Secures fifth hold Clarke allowed no hits and a walk with no strikeouts over a scoreless inning Saturday against the Blue Jays.

Impact The 32-year-old was trusted with the eighth inning of a one-run game Saturday and came through, issuing only a harmless two-out walk before handing the ball off for Carlos Estevez to close. Clarke hasn't been a fixture in high-leverage spots this year, but he's been excellent in the second half, compiling a 1.98 ERA and 0.77 WHIP over 26 outings and 27.1 innings since the All-Star break.

Tagged for four runs Clarke allowed four runs on five hits and one walk with no strikeouts over one-third of an inning in Tuesday's 10-2 loss against the Yankees.

Impact The right-hander entered in relief of Noah Cameron with two outs and a runner on in the sixth inning, but he quickly unraveled, surrendering a flurry of hits that allowed the inherited runner to score along with four more runs of his own. Clarke entered Tuesday with a stellar 1.29 ERA and 0.43 WHIP, but those marks ballooned to 3.77 and 0.84, respectively, after the rough outing.
