Newsbreakers
July 12, 2009
According to the Arizona Republic, the Diamondbacks have released big first baseman Tony Clark.
Our View:
No one should be shocked by this. Clark was hitting just .182 with four homers in 66 at-bats this season, his 15t in the bigs. It's thought that the move was made to bring up Triple-A first baseman Josh Whitesell and give the team a chance to see how he adjusts. The team is looking for insurance at first as Chad Tracy is in the final guaranteed year of his contract.
June 19, 2009
Tony Clark has been activated from the DL following his recovery from a strained ligament in his right wrist, according to the Associated Press. Infielder Josh Whitesell was optioned to Triple-A Reno as the adjoining move.
Our View:
Clark missed 41 games, and could need a few games to shake off the rust. He is in tonight's lineup at first base against Seattle.
June 17, 2009
Tony Clark could rejoin the team this weekend in Seattle according to the Arizona Republic.
Our View:
Clark has been out since early May with a ligament strain in his right wrist. He has gone just 2-for-16 during his rehab assignment, and was batting only .179 before the injury. He probably isn't the jolt of offense the stagnant D-Backs are looking for and should be of no concern to you and your fantasy team.
June 9, 2009
Updating a previous report, the Arizona Republic is reporting that Tony Clark is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment on Thursday in Triple-A Reno. Clark has been out since May 6 with a ligament strain in his right wrist.
Our View:
Expect Clark to spend a decent amount of time in Reno since he has been out for over a month. The D-Backs will not rush him back, and they want to make sure his wrist is fully healthy before he returns. His fantasy value upon his return to the club is slim at best.
June 6, 2009
According to the Arizona Republic, Tony Clark is almost ready to start a rehab assignment for his injured hand.
Our View:
The assignment is likely to start next week, but could last a while due to the fact that Clark has been out since May 6th and will need to relearn his swing.
May 20, 2009
Tony Clark has been hitting off a tee for the past two days while recovering from a wrist injury, according to the Arizona Republic.
Our View:
He could progress to batting practice next week. Clark is feeling better, but noted that the true test won't come until he tries to work on the field.
May 18, 2009
Tony Clark took some swings off a tee for the first time since he was placed on the DL with a wrist injury, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
Clark doesn't believe he will be ready to rejoin the team when his DL stint is up on Wednesday, but this is a good start to a potential comeback. Don't expect him back for awhile, but at least he is swinging again.
May 6, 2009
Tony Clark has been placed on the 15-day DL with a wrist injury that has bothered him since spring training, according to the Arizona Republic. Josh Whitesell will be called up to take his place.
Our View:
Clark homered twice on opening day, and has not hit one out since. He is hitting .179 through 28 at bats. Whitesell could permanently take his spot on the roster with a strong showing over the next couple of weeks.
April 6, 2009
Tony Clark hit two home runs in Monday's home opener and helped lead the Diamondbacks to a 9-8 win over the Rockies. He finished 2-for-4 with three RBI, two runs scored, and two strikeouts.
Our View:
Clark got the start against right-hander Aaron Cook as Chad Tracy moved across the diamond to third base. He does not figure to start against southpaws this season and it's probably better to let him remain on the waiver wire.
April 6, 2009
Tony Clark will start today's season opener against the Rockies at first base, according to the Arizona Republic.
Our View:
Chad Tracy will start at third, meaning Mark Reynolds will ride the pine. Manager Bob Melvin wants Clark in the lineup as he is a switch-hitter and opposing hurler Aaron Cook has never handled left-handed hitters as well as right-handers. Adjust your lineups accordingly.
March 13, 2009
Tony Clark clubbed his first home run of the spring Friday against the Mariners. He finished the game 1-for-1 with two RBI and two runs scored.
Our View:
The 36-year-old still has enough pop to provide some value as a backup first baseman in NL-only leagues as well as with his dangerous bat off the bench as a pinch hitter.
January 2, 2009
ESPN.com reports that the Arizona Diamondbacks and Tony Clark have reached an agreement on a one-year deal worth approximately $800,000.
Our View:
Clark, 36, has proven to be a commodity off the bench, and is scheduled to back up first baseman Conor Jackson in 2009.
