Eligibility
Taylor Clarke was perfect over two innings on the mound for the Royals Friday night, striking out one in a 2-0 loss to the Angels.
Fantasy Impact
Clarke has turned around a rough start to the season on the mound for the Royals, allowing runs in just one of his last five appearances (one start) for the club. The right-hander projects as more of an early to mid-inning relief option in Kansas City and is better left off rosters until further notice.
The Diamondbacks placed RHP Taylor Clarke on the 10-day injured list with a teres major muscle strain.
Fantasy Impact

Taylor Clarke (3-0) earned the win in the second game of Friday's doubleheader with the Rockies. He allowed four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five in five innings.
Fantasy Impact

Fantasy Impact
Clarke struggled with control Wednesday, firing 55-of-86 pitches for strikes. He was hurt by the long ball early, allowing solo homers to Mookie Betts and Enrique Hernandez. Clarke is likely headed back to the bullpen with the addition of Caleb Smith. This season, Clarke has a 3.51 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in 10 appearances.

Fantasy Impact
This was Clarke's third start filling in for an injured Merrill Kelly. Overall, Clarke has posted a 3.75 ERA in 12 innings. His time in the rotation may be nearing an end, however, as newly acquired Caleb Smith is building up at the alternative site, and appears ready to take the mound soon.
