Oakland Athletics Make Roster Move: Denzel Clarke to IL, Colby Thomas Called Up

The Oakland Athletics have made a roster shuffle, placing outfielder Denzel Clarke on the ten-day injured list due to a bone bruise in his right mid foot. In his place, the team has called up Colby Thomas from Triple-A Las Vegas.

Clarke, a 25-year-old Canadian, started the season strong, batting .170 with nine hits in fifty-three at-bats, one double, six RBI, and two stolen bases. However, he also struck out twenty-four times. Last year, Clarke broke into the majors, slashing .230/.274/.372 over forty-seven games, with three homers and standout defense that earned him several accolades.

Thomas, on the other hand, has been on fire in Triple-A, hitting .300 with five homers and nineteen RBI in seventeen games. He also had a strong rookie year, batting .225 with six homers over forty-nine games.

This move allows the As to keep their outfield depth fresh as Clarke heals up, giving Thomas a chance to build on his spring training pop and contribute right away.
