Jonatan Clase - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Dispatched to Buffalo The Blue Jays optioned Clase to Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday.

Impact Clase reached the big leagues for the first time last season and slashed .246/.303/.328 across 66 plate appearances between the Mariners and Blue Jays. His bat vanished in the Grapefruit League, however, as he only managed one hit in 14 at-bats. He'll attempt to right the ship in Triple-A, and a spot on Toronto's bench may be his down the line if he can rediscover his swing.

Ready for spring debut Clase (hamstring) is in the lineup for Saturday's Grapefruit League game against Atlanta.

Impact Assuming there are no further issues with his hamstring, Clase should be able to start the season on time. While he appears headed for a limited role after mostly struggling as a rookie between Seattle and Toronto, the 22-year-old Clase has shown offensive potential on the farm, and his sprint speed was elite last season at 30.0 ft/sec.

Impact Clase has been slowed early on in camp by a sore hamstring but appears to have made good progress of late. If healthy, the switch-hitting outfielder could break camp with the big club, particularly with Daulton Varsho (shoulder) expected to begin the season on the injured list.

Getting rest Saturday Clase isn't in the Blue Jays' lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.

Impact After going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts during Friday's game, Clase will get a day off Saturday while Joey Loperfido starts in center field and bats ninth.

Launches first big-league homer Clase went 3-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Red Sox.

Impact The 22-year-old ripped his first career homer in the seventh inning off Josh Winckowski by lofting a cutter over the fence in right field. Clase has looked good in his September cup of coffee with the Blue Jays, going 6-for-12, and he figures to head into spring training next year with a chance to win a regular spot in the outfield.

Joins big club The Blue Jays recalled Clase from Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact Clase was acquired from the Mariners in the Yimi Garcia trade and will be making his Blue Jays debut when he gets into a game. The 22-year-old outfielder should get some looks down the stretch in a Blue Jays outfield that recently lost Daulton Varsho (shoulder).

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

Impact Clase was acquired by Toronto on Friday as part of a package that sent Yimi Garcia to Seattle, and the 22-year-old Clase will now return to Triple-A to begin his tenure with the Blue Jays organization. He has slashed .274/.373/.483 with 10 homers and 34 RBI through 280 plate appearances in the minors this season and could earn a spot in Toronto's outfield unit if he continues to produce with Buffalo. Zach Pop was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

He has slashed .274/.373/.483 with 10 homers and 34 RBI through 280 plate appearances in the minors this season and could earn a spot in Toronto's outfield later in the year, especially if the Jays finally part ways with Kevin Kiermaier. Zach Pop was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Lands with Blue Jays The Blue Jays acquired Clase and Jacob Sharp from the Mariners in exchange for Yimi Garcia, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Clase, 22, has managed just a .452 OPS in 19 games with the Mariners this season but has slashed .274/.373/.483 with 10 home runs and 26 stolen bases at Triple-A Tacoma. He is capable of playing all three outfield spots and will be under team control for several years.

Lands with Blue Jays The Blue Jays acquired Clase and catcher Jacob Sharp from the Mariners on Friday in exchange for Yimi Garcia, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Clase, 22, has turned in a .452 OPS in 19 games with the Mariners this season but has slashed .274/.373/.483 with 10 home runs and 26 stolen bases at Triple-A Tacoma. He's capable of playing all three outfield spots and will be under team control for several years.

Singles in Monday's start Clase started in left field and went 1-for-3 in a loss to the Angels on Monday.

Impact The rookie was in the starting nine for the first time since July 11 -- the first appearance of his current big-league stint -- and as he did in that contest, he commemorated the opportunity with a single. Clase figures to continue seeing occasional opportunity in right field while Dominic Canzone (thigh) remains sidelined, but Monday's start saw him slot into left field as part of the domino effect of the absence of Julio Rodriguez (ankle), who is considered day-to-day.

Singles, scores in majors return Clase, recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday, went 1-for-4 with a run in a win over the Angels on Thursday.

Impact Clase didn't appear in Wednesday's series finale against the Padres, but he logged his first big-league plate appearances since May 27 in the lopsided victory. The promising prospect, who's helping fill in while Dominic Canzone (groin) is on the injured list, is looking to narrow the gulf between his performance at Triple-A and the big-league level after producing just a .176 average and .406 OPS in his first 15 games of major-league action prior to Thursday.

JULY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back in majors The Mariners recalled Clase from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

Impact He's taking the roster spot of the injured Dominic Canzone (groin) and could see some playing time in the outfield with Canzone banged up. Clase has struggled in his brief time with the big club, producing a .406 OPS over 35 plate appearances.

JULY 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

On bench again Clase is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

Impact Clase will take a seat for a third straight game while the Mariners roll with Luke Raley and Mitch Haniger as their starters in the corner-outfield spots. Since being called up from Triple-A Tacoma on April 15, Clase has appeared in six games and has gone 5-for-20 with three RBI, one run and two stolen bases. The speedy 21-year-old initially looked on track to handle a regular role in the outfield following Dominic Canzone's (shoulder) placement on the injured list, but Clase may instead be part of a timeshare with Raley in left field.

Will receive regular playing time Clase will start in left field and bat eighth in Monday's game versus the Reds.

Impact It will be the major-league debut of Clase, who was recalled earlier Monday to take Dominic Canzone's (shoulder) spot on the roster. According to Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM, Mariners manager Scott Servais said Monday that Clase will play while he's with the big club, so it sounds like he could see the lion's share of starts in left field while Canzone is out. The 21-year-old has slashed .311/.396/.622 with two homers, three steals and a 12:7 K:BB with Triple-A Tacoma this season and is worth a look in deeper fantasy leagues.
