Denzel Clarke Fantasy Stats

Athletics outfielder Denzel Clarke (adductor) is improving and has "made progress," but the 25-year-old is not currently running or hitting. He still seems to be a ways away from a possible return before the end of the season. The rookie made a splash with an impressive highlight reel in center field over his 47 games in the majors and hit .230 with three homers, 18 runs scored, and six stolen bases. He landed on the injured list with a Grade 2 adductor strain just after the All-Star break and was diagnosed with the same injury in a slightly different location from the original one in mid-August. It's good news that he's progressing, but he may be running out of time to fully rehab the injury and return before the end of the season. He's still a huge part of the A's future, though, so keep a close eye out for further injury updates the rest of the season, especially for dynasty league purposes.

Athletics outfielder Denzel Clarke (hip) has been diagnosed with a new Grade 2 right adductor strain, per MLB's Martin Gallegos. Clarke was placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to July 21 with a right adductor strain and suffered another adductor strain in a slightly different location on August 16 while rehabbing with Triple-A Las Vegas. The 25-year-old does not currently have a timetable to return to baseball activities. This is unfortunate for Clarke and the Athletics, for while Clarke had not provided a ton of offensive production, he is one of baseball's most electric defensive players.

Athletics outfielder Denzel Clarke (hip) suffered a setback while on a rehab assignment on Friday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. The Athletics will re-evaluate Clarke, who had just begun his Triple-A rehab on Friday. The 25-year-old landed on the 10-day injured list with a right adductor strain on July 21, and this setback should keep him out beyond the one-month mark. A rookie defensive standout, Clarke has hit .230/.274/.372 with three homers, eight RBI, 18 runs, and six steals over 47 games and 159 plate appearances.

Athletics outfielder Denzel Clarke (hip) is expected to start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday. The 25-year-old rookie has been on the 10-day injured list with a right adductor strain since July 21. While Clarke is known for his defensive wizardry, he was on a hot streak at the plate before he landed on the shelf. Over 14 games in July, Clarke slashed .298/.340/.574 with nine extra-base hits (six doubles, two triples, and a homer), two RBI, and eight runs scored. Clarke has appeared in 47 games overall and struggled to a .230/.274/.372 line with three homers, eight RBI, 18 runs, six stolen bases, and a 38.4% strikeout rate in 159 plate appearances.

Athletics outfielder Denzel Clarke (hip) is close to returning from the injured list, reports Jessica Kleinschmidt of Baseball America. General manager David Forst stated that he "is close to going out and playing", although he didn't clarify if a rehab assignment would be needed. Clarke has been out since July 20 with a right adductor strain. While he hit for just a .230 batting average and .274 on-base percentage, the 25-year-old did impress with three home runs, six stolen bases, and several defensive gems in 47 games so far in 2025. His defense alone should get him back into the lineup in center field once he is healthy.

Athletics outfield prospect Denzel Clarke (hip) has begun a hitting and running progression. The 25-year-old has been sidelined with a Grade 2 adductor strain since July 22. However, seeing Clarke already begin participating in baseball activities suggests he could be in the mix to return in the near future. Earlier this season, Clarke made his MLB debut and posted a .230/.274/.372 slash line with eight doubles, three home runs, and six stolen bases. While he generated a modest .258 xwOBA in the batter's box, Clarke flashed immense upside as a defender. During his small taste of the majors, Clarke placed in the 98th percentile in Range and 97th percentile in sprint speed. While he remains on the sidelines, fantasy managers should expect Lawrence Butler to see most of the opportunities in the center field.

Athletics outfielder Denzel Clarke (groin) is doing limited baseball activities as he is recovering from a Grade 2 adductor strain. The speedy 25-year-old injured himself while running the bases in a game at Cleveland this past weekend. It is somewhat encouraging that he has been able to participate in limited workouts thus far. However, he still has a long way to go before returning to the Athletics' outfield. The rookie has been a highlight reel with his glove, making outstanding defensive plays in his short time with the big-league club. He is also helping out at the plate with three home runs and six stolen bases in 44 games played. There is no timetable for his return, but it is believed that Clarke will come back before the end of the season.

Athletics rookie outfielder Denzel Clarke (groin) will be placed on the 10-day injured list with a Grade 2 adductor strain, reports Martin Gallegos of MLB.com. There hasn't been an official timeline released, but the injury is expected to sideline him for at least a couple of weeks. The official transaction with a corresponding move is expected to come on Tuesday. The rookie center fielder was showcasing an exciting start to his career, making it a habit of making extraordinary catches in the outfield. The 25-year-old also showcased his combination of power and speed, hitting three home runs and stealing six bases in 47 games.

Athletics outfielder Denzel Clarke (hip) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Texas Rangers. This doesn't come as a surprise after Clarke was forced to make an early exit from Sunday's game. He exited the contest with left hip discomfort and will sit out this game with the same issue. For now, fantasy managers should consider Clarke as day-to-day. Lawrence Butler will take over in center field while Miguel Andujar moves over to right field versus right-hander Jack Leiter on Monday.

Athletics outfielder Denzel Clarke is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Houston Astros. Clarke will head to the bench after starting in each of the last three games. During that span, Clarke went 3-for-12 with a double, a stolen base, and one run scored. His defensive skills have been great, but Clarke isn't bringing much to the table with his bat right now. That being said, Clarke isn't worth rostering in most fantasy formats until he starts hitting better. In his absence, JJ Bleday will cover center field and bat seventh versus right-hander Ryan Gusto.
