Athletics' Denzel Clarke has left hamstring strain that will sideline him until at least July
Athletics outfielder Denzel Clarke was returned from his rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas because of what the team calls “significant left hamstring strain” suffered during Tuesday night’s game
WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Athletics outfielder Denzel Clarke was returned from his rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas because of a “significant left hamstring strain” suffered during Tuesday night's game and will be sidelined at least through the All-Star break, according to the team.
He has returned to Sacramento to continue his rehab after an MRI confirmed a high-grade strain. Clarke will be re-evaluated after the All-Star break in July.
Clarke was on a rehab assignment for a right foot bone bruise that forced him onto the 10-day injured list on April 22. The 26-year-old Canadian missed significant time last year as a rookie because of an adductor strain.
In 22 games for the Athletics this season, Clarke is hitting .170 with no homers, six RBIs, one double and two stolen bases.
