The Toronto Blue Jays recalled Jonatan Clase from Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Clase impressed at Triple-A Buffalo, slashing .315/.419/.371 with 15 stolen bases over 106 plate appearances. While he may see some time in the outfield, he's expected to be used primarily as a pinch runner and depth piece. To make room on the 26-man roster, the Blue Jays optioned Alan Roden to Triple-A.

The Blue Jays have recalled Jonatan Clase from Triple-A Buffalo.

Fantasy Impact

Clase will serve as the 27th man for the doubleheader with the Yankees. He will likely be optioned back to Triple-A after Sunday's games.

The Blue Jays sent Jonatan Clase to Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday, per team updates, after a quiet Grapefruit League showing this spring.

Fantasy Impact

Clase’s 1-for-14 spring bat couldn’t build on his 2024 .246/.303/.328 line over 66 plate appearances with the Mariners and Blue Jays, landing him in Buffalo Thursday. His MLB encore waits. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues should stash him, banking on the 22-year-old’s speed and potential to earn a Toronto bench spot in 2025 if he regains form at Triple-A.

Jonatan Clase (hamstring) is slotted into the lineup for Saturday’s Grapefruit League tilt against Atlanta, per team updates.

Fantasy Impact

Clase’s hamstring looks good to go—if it holds, he’s on track for Opening Day, though likely in a small role after a rough rookie spin with Seattle and Toronto last year. The 22-year-old’s got upside, flashing offensive chops in the minors and a blazing 30.0 ft/sec sprint speed in 2024. Fantasy managers in deep leagues might stash him for that speed potential, but his bat needs to prove itself for bigger minutes.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Wednesday that Jonatan Clase (hamstring) has been running and could make his Grapefruit League debut by this weekend, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Fantasy Impact

Clase has been limited early in camp due to a sore hamstring but is making steady progress toward game action. If he remains healthy, the switch-hitting outfielder could push for a spot on the Opening Day roster, especially with Daulton Varsho (shoulder) likely to start the season on the injured list. His speed and defensive versatility could give him an edge in the competition for a bench role.
