Ernie Clement Fantasy Stats

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Ernie Clement is quickly becoming one of the most underrated contributors in the team's historic postseason run. The 29-year-old has carried over his strong regular season, hitting an astounding .429 with a 1.063 OPS through 42 at-bats. Clement has recorded 18 hits and delivered six multi-hit performances across 11 games, establishing himself as the team's everyday third baseman. His elite contact skills and Gold Glove-caliber defense have made him a steady force on both sides of the ball. During the regular season, Clement slashed .277/.313/.711, marking the most productive full season of his career.

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Ernie Clement (finger, shin) is starting at third base and will hit sixth for Sunday's series finale against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers and right-hander Brandon Woodruff at the Rogers Centre. Clement suffered a hairline fracture in his finger and needed stitches to close a cut on his left shin after a collision at third base earlier this week, but after missing a couple of games, he's back in Toronto's starting nine. Addison Barger, who had been playing third with Clement sidelined a few games, will shift to right field on Sunday and will hit second. The 29-year-old Clement makes a lot of contact and is hitting a respectable .273 (126-for-461) on the year, but he has minimal power (nine home runs) and speed (four stolen bases), leaving him little fantasy upside. Clement has never faced Woodruff in his career.

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Ernie Clement (finger, shin) is out of the lineup again on Saturday against the Milwaukee Brewers. Addison Barger will handle the hot corner in place of Clement and hit second in a meeting with right-hander Quinn Priester. Clement hasn't played since he was involved in a collision at third base on Tuesday. He suffered a hairline fracture in his middle finger and required 10 stitches, and he has been considered day-to-day since. The versatile 29-year-old has hit .274/.310/.396 with nine homers, 40 RBI, 66 runs scored, and four stolen bases over 131 games and 497 plate appearances.

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Ernie Clement (finger, shin) remains out of action for Friday's series opener against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers. Addison Barger will make another start at the hot corner and will hit second against Brewers right-hander Freddy Peralta. Clement was involved in a collision at third base in Tuesday's game. He suffered a hairline fracture in his left middle finger and also needed 10 stitches in his left shin. The 29-year-old didn't play on Wednesday and won't be available to start the weekend series at the Rogers Centre, although he's being considered day-to-day for now. Barger should continue to play third base for Toronto while Clement heals up. Barger has plenty of power with 18 long balls on the year in 379 at-bats, and he's also contributed 61 RBI and 55 runs scored. He has never faced Peralta in his career.

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Ernie Clement (finger) underwent a CT scan of his left hand on Tuesday that showed a small hairline fracture at the bottom of his middle finger, according to Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet. Clement also had 10 stitches in his left shin after a collision at third base on Tuesday, but he's considered day-to-day as of now and is expected to avoid the injured list. He is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest against the visiting Minnesota Twins. For however long the 29-year-old remains out, expect Addison Barger to handle third base duties in Toronto. Clement doesn't have much power or speed to speak of (nine homers, four steals in 460 at-bats), but he is a key role player for the first-place Blue Jays and is hitting a strong .274 (126 hits) with his contact-oriented approach at the plate.

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Ernie Clement (lower body) suffered what appeared to be a left-knee injury in the eighth inning in Wednesday's win over the St. Louis Cardinals while diving for a ground ball at third base and left the game, but he said he's OK. Manager John Schneider also said that Clement is fine. "They just forced me to come out - just precautionary because we have the off day tomorrow," Clement said. The 29-year-old had a big game before exiting, recording three hits, including his fourth home run of the year, as the Blue Jays swept the Cardinals in St. Louis. With a day off coming on Thursday, it's possible that Clement will be ready to roll for Friday's series opener in Philadelphia against the Phillies. Clement makes a lot of contact at the plate but is primarily an AL-only asset in fantasy because he lacks considerable power and speed.

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Ernie Clement stayed hot on Friday, going 4-for-5 with a homer and a double in an 11-7 win over the Athletics. Clement has had quite a series so far, going 7-for-10 with two homers, two doubles, and six RBI in the first two games. It is also worth noting that Clement is absolutely torching left-handed pitching this year, as he was batting .362 with a 1.043 OPS and two homers against them coming into this one before homering and doubling off lefty Jeffrey Springs. All that said, he still hasn't provided much for fantasy and is likely just on a mini-hot streak right now. Outside of the deepest of leagues, Clement can be left on the waiver wire.

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Ernie Clement went 3-for-5 with a home run and five RBI in Thursday's 12-0 win against the visiting Athletics. The former fourth-round pick added a single and a double to notch his third three-hit performance of the month. It didn't take long for Clement (or Toronto's lineup) to get going -- driving in the Jays' first three runs of the game with his second dinger of the season off A's pitcher Jacob Lopez in the bottom of the second. Later in the inning, he knocked in two more with a screamer of a double to cap off an eight-run outburst. He's boosted his average exit velocity a bit in 2025, though it still puts him in the bottom 13% of batters (87.0 MPH). As of now, it doesn't appear that he'll challenge the career-high of 12 homers he set last year.

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Ernie Clement (face) will cover third base and bat in the seven-hole against the Boston Red Sox on Thursday afternoon. Clement has been sidelined since Monday after being hit by a pitch. Clement avoided any significant injuries and only sustained a lip laceration and contusion. Seeing that he is back in the lineup suggests this injury was minor and he will not face any limitations by Opening Day. Last season, the 28-year-old logged a career-high 139 contests with the Blue Jays. He held a .263/.284/.408 slash line with 12 home runs and 12 stolen bases. He showed an elite eye at the plate as he only struck out at a 9.1 percent rate. However, he only generated hard contact at a 24.9 percent rate. Fantasy managers should expect Clement to continue to compete for the starting job at the hot corner alongside Addison Barger. If he does win the job, he will carry value in deeper points leagues given his excellent strikeout rate.

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Ernie Clement (mouth) is progressing and could return to the team's Grapefruit League lineup as early as Thursday, according to manager John Schneider. Clement was hit in the face by a pitch in Monday's spring training against the Detroit Tigers. The 28-year-old thankfully was able to escape with only a cut on his lip and avoided a concussion. Clement will be ready in plenty of time for Opening Day at the end of March, and as of right now, he's considered the favorite to see the majority of playing time at third base. The 28-year-old still needs to earn the starting job, though, and he'll need to continue to play well in 2025 to hold off others at the position. The former fourth-round pick by the Cleveland Guardians in 2017 out of the University of Virginia makes elite contact and slashed .263/.284/.408 with 12 homers, 51 RBI and 12 steals in 139 games in his first full season in the big leagues in 2024.
