Emmanuel Clase Dealing With Shoulder Discomfort
Stephen Vogt said that closer Emmanuel Clase (shoulder) was bothered by "shoulder discomfort" after his outing on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Clase is playing catch on Wednesday, but his availability for the contest against the New York Yankees is unclear. It's been a rough start to the 2025 season for the 27-year-old Dominican, as Clase enters Wednesday's action with a 7.84 ERA, 2.23 WHIP, four saves and nine strikeouts in his 10 1/3 innings pitched. He had his second blown save of the season but ended up picking up his third win on Sunday against Pittsburgh when he allowed three earned runs on four hits and a walk in his inning of work. Hopefully, this is just the result of Clase working three straight days of the weekend and nothing more serious. Cade Smith picked up saves the last two days and would likely be first in line for closing duties if Clase ends up going on the injured list.
