Latest news
Clarke went 1-for-2 with two steals and a walk in Thursday's 10-1 loss to the Rays.
Clarke was active on the bases early, swiping second and third base after depositing a single in the third inning. The center fielder has appeared in 10 games since returning from a left hamstring strain, going just 2-for-14 (.143) with no extra-base hits or RBI. Clarke boasts significant speed and strong defensive acumen, but he's struggled mightily to find his footing offensively at the big-league level.

Clarke is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Blue Jays.
Clarke started the first two games upon his activation from the injured list last week, but since then he's been in the lineup only once in the Athletics' last five contests. Henry Bolte is in center field Monday, and it seems Clarke is slated for a secondary role down the stretch.

Clarke is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.
Clarke went 0-for-4 in Saturday's contest and will hit the bench Sunday for the third time in six games since coming off the injured list Tuesday. Henry Bolte will shift to center field while Carlos Cortes and Lawrence Butler start in left and right, respectively.

Clarke isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners.
Clarke will get a day off after going 1-for-6 with a walk and a run scored in his first two games back from the injured list. Zack Gelof, Henry Bolte and Lawrence Butler will start across the outfield for the A's while Clarke is on the bench.

The Athletics activated Clarke (hamstring) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
Clarke has been out of commission since late April, first due to a bone bruise in his foot and later because of a severe hamstring strain. The outfielder has hit only .214/.262/.323 with a 38.8 percent strikeout rate in his first 219 big-league plate appearances. However, Clarke's elite defense could mean regular reps in center field down the stretch, with Henry Bolte shifting to left field.

Clarke (hamstring) has gone 9-for-21 (.429) with a home run, five RBI and two runs across seven rehab games with Triple-A Las Vegas.
Clarke has swung the bat well with Las Vegas, reaching base safely in six straight contests. Recovering from a left hamstring strain, the 26-year-old has split time between center field and designated hitter during his rehab assignment. Entering the assignment, the Athletics planned to build Clarke up with a spring training-like progression, so the club likely isn't in a rush to activate him from the 60-day injured list. In 22 big-league games this season, he's hitting .170/.228/.189 with no homers, six RBI, four runs and two stolen bases.
