Jun 28 2025Clemens is not in the Twins' starting lineup against the Tigers on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clemens will hit the bench after starting in the Twins' last six games, going 3-for-18 (.167) with four runs scored and two solo homers over that span. Willi Castro will shift to the keystone while Trevor Larnach, Harrison Bader and Matt Wallner start in the outfield from left to right.
Jun 25 2025Clemens went 1-for-1 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clemens got the Twins on the board with a solo blast off Luis Castillo in the third inning. Clemens has picked up three consecutive starts at second base, and he could be in store for regular opportunities against right-handed pitching while the absence of Royce Lewis (hamstring) creates an opening in the infield.
Jun 19 2025Clemens went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored during Thursday's 12-5 win over Cincinnati. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clemens launched his seventh home run of the season, tagging Nick Martinez for a two-run homer that plated Ryan Jeffers. Clemens came into Thursday's contest hitless in his last 11 at-bats and without a multi-hit game since May 19. On the year, Clemens is slashing .219/.317/.486 in 121 plate appearances.
Jun 12 2025Clemens is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though he'll take a seat with southpaw Patrick Corbin on the bump for Texas, the left-handed-hitting Clemens had started at second base in five of the previous six games. Clemens went just 2-for-17 with a home run and two walks in that six-game stretch, however, and with Royce Lewis finally beginning to break out of his extended slump at the plate, Clemens could end up losing out on more opportunities to play against right-handers in the near future.
Jun 1 2025Clemens will start at second base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Earlier this weekend, the Twins got Harrison Bader back from a four-game absence due to a finger injury and Byron Buxton and Matt Wallner from stints on the injured list, but their returns haven't yet had a negative effect on Clemens' playing time. Clemens will start at his third different position of the series and will pick up his sixth consecutive start overall, with manager Rocco Baldelli getting creative in finding ways to keep the 29-year-old's bat in the lineup. Since being acquired from the Phillies on April 25, Clemens has produced a monstrous .957 OPS, though he's begun to cool down a bit with a .158/.238/.316 slash line over his last six games. In the long term, Clemens will likely struggle to hold down a regular spot in the Minnesota lineup, especially if the struggling Royce Lewis eventually breaks out of his extended slump at the plate.
May 24 2025Clemens went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 29-year-old took Michael Wacha deep to lead off the bottom of the sixth inning and chase the righty from the game. Clemens has hit safely in each of his last six games and has an extra-base hit in five straight, and since May 11 he's batting .406 (13-for-32) with four doubles, a triple, three homers, six runs and nine RBI in 10 contests. The Twins' infield is nearly at full strength following the return of Carlos Correa from the concussion IL on Friday, but Clemens -- who has seen action at first base, second base, and both outfield corners in 2025 -- will be hard to dislodge from his strong-side platoon role given his current form.
May 19 2025Clemens is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though he'll exit the lineup with southpaw Logan Allen taking the hill for Cleveland, the left-handed-hitting Clemens appears to have temporarily settled into a regular starting role versus righties while injuries have begun to mount for Minnesota. Clemens started in each of the Twins' last five games, going 8-for-19 with two home runs, one double, two walks, six RBI and an additional run.
May 17 2025Clemens went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a 7-0 win against Milwaukee on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clemens collected his first three-hit performance of the campaign, with one of his knocks being a solo homer in the fifth inning. The 29-year-old began the campaign with just three hits over his first 24 at-bats, but he's picked things up of late. Over his past four contests, Clemens has recorded three multi-hit efforts while going 7-for-15 with two long balls and six RBI.
May 14 2025Clemens went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader sweep of the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old utility player played hero in the nightcap, taking Yannier Cano deep for a three-run homer in the eighth inning that flipped the script on a 6-5 deficit. Clemens is batting .227 (5-for-22) with two home runs and six RBI in 11 games since joining the Twins, but he could he in line for more playing time if Ty France, who left the first game of the twin bill with a foot injury and sat out the second, is sidelined for additional time.
May 3 2025Clemens went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over Boston. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clemens, who started at second base and batted seventh, gave the Twins a two-run lead in the sixth inning, when he took Hunter Dobbins deep to right field for a two-run homer. It was Clemens' first home run of the season, and he's started in three of the Twins' last four games due to injuries to Willi Castro (oblique), Matt Wallner (hamstring), Luke Keaschall (forearm) and Royce Lewis (hamstring).
Mar 24 2025The Phillies informed Clemens on Monday that he has made the Opening Day roster, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clemens nabbed the final bench spot over Buddy Kennedy after posting an .857 OPS with two home runs this spring. He will be used mostly in a pinch-hitting role while providing backup at multiple positions.
Sep 15 2024Clemens is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clemens had started nine of the Phillies' last 10 games, going 7-for-34 (.206 average) with a home run, three doubles, six RBI and five runs. His starting opportunities will likely be few and far between moving forward, however, as Alec Bohm (hand) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Sunday and will slot back in as the Phillies' everyday third baseman.
Sep 9 2024Clemens will start at third base and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clemens will pick up a sixth consecutive start at the hot corner after going 5-for-21 with a home run, two doubles, one walk and five RBI over the previous five contests. While Alec Bohm (hand) and Edmundo Sosa (back) are on the injured list, Clemens looks like he'll have a clear path to a regular role at third base.
Sep 5 2024Clemens went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clemens put the Phillies ahead for good in the second inning with a two-run blast off Bowden Francis, his fourth long ball of the year. Since he was recalled Sep. 1, the 28-year-old Clemens has gone 2-for-8 with three runs scored and three RBI. Overall, he's slashing .243/.274/.529 with 11 runs scored and 13 RBI in 73 plate appearances. While Clemens has primarily filled a bench role for the Phillies, he could see more playing time down the stretch with both Alec Bohm (hand) and Bryce Harper (elbow) nursing injuries.
Sep 1 2024The Phillies recalled Clemens from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clemens will provide an extra left-handed bat for the Philadelphia infield, but he won't enter the lineup Sunday against Atlanta right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach, even with everyday third baseman Alec Bohm (hand) out of the lineup for the third game in a row. The Phillies will go with Edmundo Sosa at third base, but both he and Clemens are likely to serve as bench players for the foreseeable future, as Bohm worked out on the field Sunday and could be ready to return to the lineup following Monday's team off day. Over his previous two stints with the big club this season, Clemens hit .242 with three home runs, 10 RBI and eight runs over 65 plate appearances.
Jul 9 2024The Phillies optioned Clemens to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clemens got some run at first base while Bryce Harper (hamstring) was on the injured list, but Clemens will head back to the minors after Harper was reinstated ahead of Tuesday's series opener versus the Dodgers. In 24 contests with the Phillies this season, Clemens has slashed .242/.277/.500 with three home runs.
Jul 5 2024Clemens is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clemens will dodge a matchup with southpaw Max Fried on Friday, giving way to Alec Bohm at first base. Clemens is batting 4-for-14 with a pair of doubles across his last four games.
Jun 30 2024Clemens will start at first base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Bryce Harper (hamstring) landing on the injured list, Clemens looks to have settled in as the Phillies' primary first baseman, at least against right-handed pitching. He'll make a third straight start Sunday after going 1-for-6 with a double in his first two games following his return from a stint on the IL due to a back issue.
Jun 28 2024The Phillies activated Clemens (back) from the 10-day injured list Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clemens has missed most of June with back spasms but is ready to go following a six-game rehab stint which included a pair of home runs. He will give the Phillies an option both at first base and designated hitter while Bryce Harper (hamstring) and Kyle Schwarber (groin) are out.
Jun 19 2024Clemens (back) will begin a rehab assignment later this week, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Gelb notes that Clemens is set to receive regular reps in left field while on his rehab assignment. It's a position he's played a little bit both in the majors and minors, and it now looks like his best path to playing time in the majors with Brandon Marsh slated to see most of his starts in center field following Johan Rojas' demotion to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Clemens has been out since early June with lower-back spasms.
Jun 18 2024Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Clemens (back) is "getting pretty close" to a return from the 10-day injured list after taking batting practice Monday, MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clemens has been on the shelf since June 3, one day after being scratched from the lineup ahead of the Phillies' game against the Cardinals after his bat locked up on him during batting practice. He could go out on a brief minor-league rehab assignment prior to being activated from the IL.
Jun 3 2024The Phillies placed Clemens on the 10-day injured list Monday with lower-back spasms, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clemens had been set to return to action Sunday against the Cardinals before being scratched from the lineup. The Phillies have ultimately opted to give him extra time to heal from the back injury. He should have a chance to return from the IL next week when first eligible.
Jun 2 2024Clemens was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Cardinals due to back spasms, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clemens was set to start at second base and bat seventh against St. Louis, but he'll now take a seat with his ailing back. Whit Merrifield will replace him in the lineup.
May 18 2024Clemens went 2-for-2 with a solo home run Saturday in a 4-3 extra-inning victory over Washington. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clemens came on as a pinch hitter for Edmundo Sosa in the seventh inning and singled in his first at-bat. His second time up to the plate was much more dramatic, as he belted a game-tying solo shot to center field with two outs in the bottom of the ninth frame. Clemens' playing time has been sporadic, but he's been productive when given an opportunity, as he's slashing .304/.333/.826 with three homers and eight RBI over just 24 plate appearances.
May 8 2024Clemens went 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI and two runs scored during Tuesday's 10-1 win over Toronto. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clemens' two-run shot off Jose Berrios in the second inning allowed the Phillies to take a 3-0 lead, and his fourth-inning triple plated another run before he came in to score thanks to a Bryce Harper grand slam. Clemens has played in just three games in the majors this year, though he's made the most of his time in the big leagues, going 4-for-9 with two homers and seven RBI.
May 4 2024The Phillies recalled Clemens from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The move corresponds with the Phillies placing Trea Turner on the 10-day IL due to a left hamstring strain. Clemens was called up to the majors in April while Bryce Harper was on paternity leave. Clemens appeared in one game, going 2-for-4 with a three-home run against the Reds on April 22. He's slashing .247/.327/.419 with five doubles, three home runs and 16 RBI over 104 plate appearances in Triple-A.
Apr 25 2024The Phillies optioned Clemens to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He was up with the big club for three games while Bryce Harper was on paternity leave, but he'll now head back to Lehigh Valley as Harper rejoins the club ahead of Thursday's game in Cincinnati. Clemens went 2-for-4 with a home run in his lone start this week.
Apr 22 2024Clemens went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a double during Monday's 7-0 win over the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clemens filled the role of Bryce Harper (personal) rather admirably, earning the start at first base and contributing two extra-base hits. Following his double in the fourth, Clemens capped his day with a three-run homer over the wall in right center on a full count offering in the ninth to help rubber stamp the Phillies' win. Despite the performance, Clemens is not expected to remain in Philly for too much longer as Harper should return from the paternity list in a few days, likely signaling Clemens' return to Triple-A.
Mar 24 2024The Phillies optioned Clemens to minor-league camp Sunday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 27-year-old was in the running for a bench spot on Philadelphia's Opening Day roster, but he'll end up missing out despite posting a 1.244 OPS during spring training. Clemens should receive a look with the Phillies at some point in 2024, but he'll begin the campaign back at Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
Mar 10 2024Clemens (illness) is starting at third base and batting sixth in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clemens has been sidelined the past few days by an illness but will return to the lineup for Sunday's contest. The 27-year-old has a .429/.556/.571 slash line through 18 plate appearances in Grapefruit League play as he attempts to earn a place on the Opening Day roster.
Mar 5 2024Clemens was scratched from the Phillies' Grapefruit League lineup Tuesday due to illness, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He should be fine in a day or two. Jake Cave will move to first base and Cam Gallagher will enter the lineup at designated hitter.
Jul 2 2023The Phillies optioned Clemens to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clemens had been handling a strong-side platoon role in the corner infield for the past six weeks, but after falling into a 5-for-39 slump at the plate over his past 13 games, he'll lose his spot on the 26-man active roster. In a corresponding move, the Phillies recalled first baseman/designated hitter Darick Hall from Triple-A.
Jul 1 2023Clemens will sit Saturday against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clemens hits the bench against lefty MacKenzie Gore. Outside of a four-game stretch in the first half of June, Clemens has sat against every lefty the Phillies have faced this season. Even while getting the platoon advantage in the vast majority of his at-bats, the 27-year-old first baseman is hitting just .232/.279/.370. Alec Bohm slides to first base, with Edmundo Sosa starting at the hot corner.
Jun 28 2023Clemens is absent from the lineup Wednesday against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Chicago is throwing left-hander Drew Smyly, so Alec Bohm will cover first base and bat sixth with Edmundo Sosa handling third base and hitting eighth. Clemens is 3-for-19 with zero extra-base hits in limited action this year versus southpaws.
Jun 25 2023Clemens is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clemens has one hit in his past 21 at-bats and will take a seat Sunday for the second time in Philadelphia's past three games. Alec Bohm will shift to first base while Edmundo Sosa starts at the hot corner.
Jun 23 2023Clemens is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Mets, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clemens will head to the bench after he went 0-for-8 with an RBI and two strikeouts while starting two games during the team's series with Atlanta. Alec Bohm will slide over to first base while Edmundo Sosa enters the lineup at third base and bats ninth in the series opener with New York.
Jun 18 2023Clemens is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the A's. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clemens has a .533 OPS through 13 games in June and will head to the bench Sunday with lefty Hogan Harris on the mound for Oakland. Alec Bohm will man first base while Edmundo Sosa starts at the hot corner.
Jun 16 2023Clemens isn't in the Phillies' lineup Friday against the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lefty JP Sears will start on the mound Friday for Oakland, meaning the lefty-hitting Clemens will begin the game in the dugout. Alec Bohm will take over at first base, allowing Edmundo Sosa to start at third and bat eighth.
Jun 12 2023Clemens is not in the lineup for Monday's contest in Arizona, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The left-handed hitting Clemens has been playing first base against both righties and lefties lately but will begin this one on the bench versus southpaw Tommy Henry. Alec Bohm will play first base and Edmundo Sosa will handle third.
Jun 8 2023Clemens went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Thursday's 3-2 victory over the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Clemens lined a base hit off Alex Lange to give the Phillies a walk-off win. The 27-year-old Clemens has filled in nicely at first base for Alec Bohm (hamstring), going 15-for-46 (.326) over his last 14 games. He's now slashing .267/.320/.433 with four homers, 13 runs scored and 11 RBI through 97 plate appearances.
Jun 5 2023Clemens is not in the starting lineup Monday versus Detroit, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clemens will head to the bench after he went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and a strikeout in Sunday's 11-3 win over Washington. Drew Ellis will take over at first base while Edmundo Sosa will enter the lineup at third base and bat eighth in the series opener with the Tigers.
Jun 3 2023Clemens isn't in the Phillies' lineup Saturday against Washington. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clemens is slashing .250/.318/.300 across his last six games and will get a day to regroup Saturday. While he rests, Drew Ellis will take over at first base and bat eighth.
May 31 2023Clemens will start at first base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clemens will make his fourth straight start and appears to have temporarily supplanted Edmundo Sosa as a regular in the Philadelphia infield, at least versus right-handed pitching. The 27-year-old has maintained a .308/.372/.462 slash line throughout May heading into the Phillies' final game of the month.
May 21 2023Clemens went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 12-3 victory over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clemens took Jameson Taillon deep in the first inning to extend Philadelphia's lead to 6-0. He walked in his next at-bat and singled in the fifth before striking out in his final two plate appearances. Saturday marked Clemens' third multi-hit game this season, which have all come in the past week. Overall, he's slashing .229/.288/.500 with four home runs and eight RBI across 20 games (52 plate appearances).
May 3 2023Clemens is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Before taking a seat for Tuesday's 13-1 loss, Clemens had started in three consecutive games at either first base or designated hitter, going 2-for-11 with a pair of home runs and a walk. With Bryce Harper (elbow) returning from the 10-day injured list Tuesday and set to serve as the Phillies' full-time designated hitter moving forward, Clemens doesn't look like he'll have a path to playing on a regular basis.
Apr 30 2023Clemens will serve as the Phillies' designated hitter and No. 8 batter in Sunday's game against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Clemens has now started against four of the last five right-handed pitchers the Phillies have faced, and he at least temporarily appears to have secured the final spot in the team's regular lineup over the struggling Jake Cave. For the season, Clemens has cobbled together an unimpressive .160/.222/.400 slash line in 27 plate appearances, and he'll be prime candidate to see his opportunities fall by the wayside as soon as Bryce Harper (elbow) is cleared to return from the 10-day injured list.
