Ernie Clement Injury News & Updates
Sep 20, 2023
Sent down to Triple-A
Clement was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Cam Eden is coming up to absorb Clement's spot on the Blue Jays' roster. Clement boasts an .885 OPS in 52 plate appearances in the majors this season, but his opportunities have been few and far between.
Sep 14, 2023
Moves into utility role
Clement is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers.
ANALYSIS
Though he drew the start at shortstop in Wednesday's 10-0 loss to Texas, Clement has moved back into a utility role since Bo Bichette was reinstated from the 10-day injured list last Friday. Clement is now on the bench for the third time in four games and is expected to see few opportunities moving forward now that Toronto has recently welcomed back both of its regular starters on the left side of the infield (Bichette and Matt Chapman) back from the IL.
Sep 3, 2023
Extends hitting streak to three
Clement went 1-for-3 with a base hit and a run scored in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Rockies.
ANALYSIS
Clement committed two errors in the field, but he was able to produce at the plate once again Saturday after he providing a home run and a triple in Friday's series-opening win. The 27-year-old will receive the starting nod at shortstop and will bat seventh Sunday, but his run as the Blue Jays' primary option at the position could end as soon as next Friday, when Bo Bichette (quadricep) could be ready to return from the 10-day injured list.
Aug 30, 2023
Nabs third straight start
Clement will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
ANALYSIS
He'll man shortstop for the third game in a row after going 2-for-7 at the dish between the first two contests of the series with Washington. The Blue Jays seem content to go with Clement as their primary option at shortstop until Bo Bichette (quadricep) is cleared to return from the 10-day injured list.
Aug 28, 2023
Returns to majors
Clement was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday, Ben Wagner of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Clement will provide some infield depth while Matt Chapman (finger) is out and Bo Bichette (quad) is banged up. The 27-year-old has a career .542 OPS over parts of three big-league seasons.
Aug 4, 2023
Optioned back to Triple-A
Toronto optioned Clement to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Clement drew only one plate appearance during his brief stay on the Blue Jays' major-league roster. The 27-year-old infielder has posted an excellent .352/.417/.543 batting line in 52 games this season at the Triple-A level.
Aug 1, 2023
Rejoins big club
Clement was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
It'll likely be a short stay in the big leagues for the 27-year-old since trade-acquisition Paul DeJong should soon join his new team. Clement has played in just 12 MLB games this season and is 3-for-7 with a stolen base, two RBI and three runs.
Jul 11, 2023
Sent down to Triple-A
Clement was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Clement has had a couple stints with the Blue Jays this season but hasn't played much. He'll return to a utility role at Buffalo.
Jun 13, 2023
Recalled from Triple-A
Clement was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Clement is 2-for-5 at the dish during his brief time in the majors this season. He'll provide depth along the infield for the Blue Jays.
Jun 6, 2023
Optioned to Triple-A
Clement was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Clement was up with the big club for a couple weeks but managed to accrue just six plate appearances, reaching base twice. He'll return to Buffalo and hope to get another call from the big club.
May 23, 2023
Added to roster
The Blue Jays selected Clement's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Clement was batting .328/.408/.512 with five homers and six steals at Buffalo. He'll give the Jays some positional versatility while Santiago Espinal (hamstring) is out.
Mar 20, 2023
Reassigned to minor-league camp
Clement was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Blue Jays on Monday, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Clement was signed to a minor-league deal last week, and the former Cleveland and Oakland infielder will provide organizational depth for the Blue Jays; likely at the Triple-A level.
Mar 14, 2023
Inks minors deal with Toronto
Clement signed a minor-league contract Tuesday with the Blue Jays.
ANALYSIS
Clement struggled to attract interest all winter after batting just .184/.243/.209 over 179 major-league plate appearances last season between the Guardians and Athletics. The soon-to-be 27-year-old will function as organizational infield depth for Toronto heading into the 2023 campaign.
Mar 12, 2023
Released by Oakland
Clement was released by the Athletics on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Clement was designated for assignment by Oakland last weekend, and he'll become a free agent as part of a series of roster cuts Sunday. The 26-year-old played in 70 games between the Guardians and Athletics last year and hit .184 with 19 runs and six RBI.
Dec 13, 2022
Designated for assignment
Clement was designated for assignment by the Athletics, the team announced Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
The club needed to clear spots on the 40-man roster for Aledmys Diaz and Jace Peterson. Clement was a waiver claim by the A's in September and will now go through that process again.
Oct 5, 2022
Returns to bench
Clement is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Clement started each of the Athletics' last three games, going 1-for-12 with a double and a run. He's produced just one hit in 17 at-bats since being activated by the Athletics on Sept. 24 after the team claimed him off waivers from Cleveland.
Sep 24, 2022
Activated by Athletics
Clement was added to the Athletics' active roster Saturday.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old was claimed off waivers by Oakland on Friday and will join the active roster a day later after Sheldon Neuse was designated for assignment. Clement hit .200 with 18 runs and six RBI over 64 games with the Guardians earlier in the year, and he should serve as a utility man with his new club.
Sep 23, 2022
Claimed by A's
Clement was claimed off waivers by the Athletics on Friday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Guardians designated Clement for assignment earlier this week, but Oakland, an organization with much less depth than Cleveland, added him to the 40-man roster. Clement hit .200 with zero home runs and zero steals in 145 at-bats. His defensive versatility is one of the main appeals from a real-life perspective.
Sep 21, 2022
Cast off 40-man roster
The Guardians designated Clement for assignment Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Clement was moved off the 40-man roster in order for the Guardians to clear up a spot for rookie outfielder Will Brennan, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Columbus. While filling a utility role for Cleveland this season, Clement had seen action in 64 games and produced a .200/.264/.221 slash line over 161 plate appearances.
Sep 1, 2022
Recalled by Cleveland
Clement was recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Thursday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Clement was demoted to Columbus in early August and will return to Cleveland with big-league rosters expanding to 28 players. The 26-year-old has a .492 OPS in 158 plate appearances this season and should fill a utility role while up in the majors.
Aug 3, 2022
Heads to minors
The Guardians optioned Clement to Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Clement will surrender his role as the Guardians' top utility infielder to Tyler Freeman, who was called up from Columbus in a corresponding move. The 26-year-old Clement had seen scarce playing time at the big-league level this season, with most of his opportunities coming against left-handed pitching. He hit just .203 with three extra-base hits -- all doubles -- in 158 plate appearances with Cleveland.
Jul 17, 2022
Better hitting in July
Clement has gone 7-for-22 (.318) through nine games in July.
ANALYSIS
Clement hit safely in five straight games before going 0-for-1 off the bench against the Tigers on Saturday. Andres Gimenez (foot) left the contest in the fifth inning, and if he misses time, Clement could see a corresponding uptick in opportunities. The 26-year-old utility man is slashing just .211/.271/.234 with five RBI, 14 runs scored and three doubles through 141 plate appearances. Owen Miller could also pick up time at the keystone, which makes it unclear if Clement will see that much of a boost if Gimenez if out beyond the All-Star break.
Jun 21, 2022
Back on bench Tuesday
Clement is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.
ANALYSIS
Clement made two straight starts at third base to close out the Guardians' weekend series with the Dodgers, but he'll move back into his usual reserve role Tuesday with Jose Ramirez (thumb) ready to go after a brief absence. Along with Ramirez, designated hitter Franmil Reyes (hamstring) is back in action Tuesday, putting the Guardians lineup back at full strength. As a result, Clement is expected to see limited opportunities moving forward, with most of the starts he receives likely to come against left-handed pitching.
Jun 12, 2022
Playing time still limited
Clement has started four of the Guardians' 11 games in June.
ANALYSIS
He's started to mix into the lineup with a little more frequency, but Clement remains without a clear path to at-bats. He's gone 2-for-14 with three strikeouts and a walk through five contests in June, dropping his season slash line to .214/.275/.250 in 92 plate appearances.
May 24, 2022
Rarely playing in May
Clement is 3-for-10 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored across eight games in May.
ANALYSIS
With the Guardians' infield fully healthy, there hasn't been much of an opportunity for Clement to start. He'll likely see most of his limited playing time at second base if Owen Miller's hitting form starts to slip, but it's unlikely Clement sees much more than a bench role in the immediate future. Clement has a .204/.283/.259 slash line with three doubles, seven runs scored and three RBI through 61 plate appearances.
May 1, 2022
Back on bench after three starts
Clement is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
ANALYSIS
Clement started each of the last three games at either second or third base, going 1-for-11 over that stretch. Though he's out of the lineup Sunday, Clement has indirectly benefited from the absence of Amed Rosario (wrist), who is also on the bench after missing the previous two contests. The Guardians believe Rosario's injury isn't a long-term concern, so Clement's playing time should begin to trend down once Rosario checks back into the lineup.
Apr 13, 2022
Getting second start
Clement will start at second base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Reds, Joe Noga of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
He'll be filling in at the keystone for the lefty-hitting Andres Gimenez, who is getting a breather with southpaw Nick Lodolo on the hill. Gimenez isn't part of a strict platoon, but the righty-hitting Clement's ability to play multiple infield and outfield spots could allow him to pick up steady starts against southpaws, especially while he's performing well. Through three games, Clement has gone 4-for-8 with two walks, three runs and an RBI.
Apr 2, 2022
Slated to begin year in majors
Clement has made the Guardians' Opening Day roster, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
Clement secured a reserve role with the major-league club after he hit .455 with two home runs, three doubles, eight RBI, five runs and four strikeouts across 10 Cactus League appearances this spring. He slashed .231/.285/.339 with three homers, 16 runs and nine RBI across 40 appearances with Cleveland last year.
Sep 24, 2021
Dropped from active roster
Clement was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Friday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Clement gave Cleveland extra infield depth with Amed Rosario away on bereavement leave, but he's no longer needed now that Rosario has gone through COVID-19 protocols and is back with the team. Clement went 3-for-11 with a homer during his brief time with the team but still owns a .624 OPS through 40 games thus far in his rookie season.
Sep 21, 2021
Leaves yard in win
Clement went 2-for-3 with a solo home run during Tuesday's win over the Royals.
ANALYSIS
Clement took Daniel Lynch deep with a 396-foot blast in the third inning. The long ball accounted for his first hit in three games since getting recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday. Overall this season, the 25-year-old is batting .227/.276/.336 with three homers across 39 games.
Sep 15, 2021
Called up from Triple-A
Cleveland recalled Clement from Triple-A Columbus ahead of Wednesday's game against the Twins.
ANALYSIS
He'll join Cleveland as a replacement on the active roster for Amed Rosario (personal), who was placed on the bereavement list. Andres Gimenez will start at shortstop Wednesday and is expected to serve as the primary option at the position while Rosario is away from the team, but Clement could push Owen Miller and Yu Chang for work at second base in the short term.
Sep 7, 2021
Reinstated, sent down
Clement (undisclosed) was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list and optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Clement had been on the injured list since Aug. 26, but he began a rehab assignment at Double-A Akron on Saturday. He went 1-for-7 with three strikeouts across his two appearances and will remain in the minors at Triple-A Columbus after right-hander Aaron Civale (finger) was reinstated from the 60-day IL on Tuesday.
Sep 6, 2021
Begins rehabbing at Double-A
Clement (undisclosed) began a rehab assignment at Double-A Akron on Saturday and has appeared in two games, going 1-for-7 with a double and three strikeouts between those contests.
ANALYSIS
Cleveland didn't provide an explanation behind Clement's placement on the injured list Aug. 26, but the transaction was presumably the result of COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Now that he's playing in rehab games, Clement looks to be on the cusp of rejoining Cleveland's active roster. He'll serve as a utility infielder once he's formally reinstated.
Aug 26, 2021
Moves to injured list
Clement was placed on the injured list with an undisclosed injury Thursday, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
The roster move didn't include an injury designation, so Clement may have been placed on the COVID-19 IL. If that's the case he'll be eligible to rejoin the active roster once he clears the health and safety protocols.
Aug 22, 2021
Losing work to Gimenez
Clement is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.
ANALYSIS
Clement is on the bench for the second time in three games and looks set to see his playing time decline after Cleveland recently called up Andres Gimenez from Triple-A Columbus. Expect the righty-hitting Clement to fill the short side of a platoon at second base with the lefty-hitting Gimenez.
Aug 14, 2021
Goes yard twice Friday
Clement went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Friday's 7-4 win over the Tigers.
ANALYSIS
Getting the start at second base and batting ninth, Clement was able to launch the first two homers of his brief big-league career. The 25-year-old has seen his playing time fall with Andres Gimenez back on the Cleveland roster, and even after Friday's power display, Clement's .250/.296/.359 slash line in 31 games doesn't make a strong case for a regular role.
Aug 12, 2021
Remains on bench
Clement isn't starting Thursday's game against the Athletics.
ANALYSIS
Clement appears to have lost his hold on the starting job at second base, as he'll be out of the lineup for the third time in the last four games. Andres Gimenez will remain at the keystone and bat ninth.
Aug 11, 2021
Heads back to bench
Clement isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Oakland.
ANALYSIS
Clement went 0-for-3 with a run Tuesday, and he'll be out of the lineup for the second time in the last three games. Andres Gimenez will start at the keystone and bat seventh.
Aug 9, 2021
Not in Monday's lineup
Clement isn't starting Monday's game against the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Clement had recorded hits in each of the last three games, and he went 6-for-11 with two doubles, two runs, an RBI, a walk and two strikeouts during that time. Andres Gimenez will start at the keystone and bat ninth.
Aug 9, 2021
Not in Monday's lineup
Clement isn't starting Monday's game against the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Clement had recorded hits in each of the last three games, and he went 6-for-11 with two doubles, two runs, an RBI, a walk and two strikeouts during that time. Andres Gimenez will start at the keystone and bat ninth.
Aug 7, 2021
Three hits, two runs in win
Clement went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Friday's 6-1 win over Detroit.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old got a start at third base to help Jose Ramirez avoid extra wear and tear on his sore elbow. Clement was solid from the bottom of the order, posting his first career three-hit game. The infielder has a modest .231/.277/.269 slash line with four RBI, 11 runs scored and three doubles through 86 plate appearances. He's a pure contact hitter, as he's striking out only 12.8 percent and walking just 3.7 percent of the time.
Aug 4, 2021
Takes seat Wednesday
Clement isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.
ANALYSIS
Clement went just 1-for-9 across the last three games, and he'll get a chance to reset Wednesday. Owen Miller will start at the keystone and bat eighth.
Jul 31, 2021
Resting Saturday
Clement is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.
ANALYSIS
Clement had started each of the last two games and went 1-for-6 with a run. Owen Miller will start at the keystone and bat seventh.
Jul 22, 2021
Drives in three in win
Clement went 2-for-3 with a double and three RBI in Wednesday's 5-4 win over Houston.
ANALYSIS
Clement knocked in more than half of Cleveland's runs with his three-run double in the sixth inning. The 25-year-old has seen a small uptick in playing time at third base lately with Jose Ramirez still battling elbow soreness. A timeshare over the next few weeks is possible until Ramirez is back to 100 percent. Clement is slashing .245/.302/.286 with four RBI and eight runs scored through 55 plate appearances.
Jul 21, 2021
Reaches base three times in loss
Clement went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's 9-3 loss to the Astros.
ANALYSIS
Clement has played sparingly since being called up to the squad June 13. He hadn't recorded a hit in five games since July 3 and hadn't posted a multi-hit effort since July 28. The 25-year-old has appeared in just eight games this month and will continue to hold a reserve role. He has 10 hits, an RBI, eight runs scored and a 3:7 BB:K over 51 plate appearances this season.
Jul 18, 2021
Back in reserve role
Clement will start at second base and bat ninth Sunday against the Athletics.
ANALYSIS
Clement picked up five consecutive starts between June 30 and July 4, but he's since moved into a full-time utility role. He'll fill in for a resting Cesar Hernandez on Sunday in what will be Clement's second start in nine games. The lack of consistent playing time makes Clement a tough option to roster, even in AL-only leagues.
Jul 1, 2021
Picks up another start
Clement will start at shortstop and bat seventh Thursday against the Astros.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old will remain in the starting nine for the fourth time in five games, and he looks like he could be the main beneficiary of extra opportunities following Josh Naylor's (ankle) recent placement on the injured list. Clement has gone 3-for-11 with four runs over his previous three starts.
Jun 29, 2021
Scores three times Monday
Clement went 2-for-4 with three runs scored in Monday's 13-5 win over the Tigers.
ANALYSIS
Clement had his first multi-hit game since he was recalled June 13. He notched two singles but also reached base on a fielder's choice and scored all three times. The 25-year-old is slashing .286/.348/.333 with six hits, an RBI and six runs scored in his first 23 plate appearances and should maintain his stay at the major league level while Cleveland waits to get some guys healthy again.
Jun 13, 2021
Recalled Sunday
Clement was recalled to the 26-man roster prior to Sunday's game against the Mariners, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Clement was recalled to the big club May 30, but did not appear in a game before being sent back to Triple-A Columbus on June 1. The infielder will rejoin Cleveland on Sunday and will look to make his major-league debut at some point in the coming days. Triston McKenzie was optioned to Columbus in a corresponding roster move.
Jun 1, 2021
Demoted to minors
Cleveland optioned Clement to Triple-A Columbus on Monday.
ANALYSIS
After a one-day stint with the big club, Clement was sent back to Triple-A to make room on the active roster for pitcher Triston McKenzie, who started the first game of Monday's doubleheader with the White Sox.
May 30, 2021
Recalled for twin bill
Clement was recalled from Triple-A Columbus for Sunday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old is looking to make his big-league debut before likely returning to the minors after the doubleheader. Clement has a .353/.389/.618 slash line through 10 games at Triple-A this season.
