• Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Three hits in loss

  09/23/2024 • By RotoWire

  Clement went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's loss to the Rays. Batting second Sunday and getting another start at shortstop in the absence of Bo Bichette (finger), Clement continued a strong September that has seen him slash .292/.301/.389 in 18 games with a homer, two steals, four RBI and 10 runs. The 28-year-old infielder should retain a regular spot in the lineup over the final week of the season, and he's positioned himself for a prime role in the Blue Jays' 2025 plans.

  Clement went 2-for-4 with a triple and three runs scored in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Mets. The 28-year-old infielder's hot bat has kept him in the lineup in September.

He could get squeezed for playing time once Bo Bichette (calf) comes off the IL, but for now Clement will continue bouncing between shortstop and third base while getting regular at-bats.
