2026 Fantasy Outlook
Clement is a throwback to the era of utility infielders who could also hit and play anywhere on the infield. In 15-game leagues, Clement qualifies at all four spots in the infield while standard 20-game leagues just get third, short and second. Clement shed the utility part of his label by playing in 157 games and showing he could be an asset in the Toronto lineup by scoring runs and hitting for average with some of the best contact in baseball. Only Arraez, Hoerner and Kwan have better contact rates than Clement since the start of the 2024 season (min 1,000 PA.) Clement, however is a two-category fantasy asset with his average and his runs, as long as he stays near the top of the lineup. His defense will likely keep him in the everyday lineup somewhere, but if Toronto does any upgrades to the roster, Clement's spot in the lineup could be pushed to the bottom, which then turns him into a one-category producer.

Signed a one-year, $4.6 million contract with the Blue Jays in January of 2026.
Five-hit effort against Halos
Clement went 5-for-5 with a home run, three runs scored and two RBI in Saturday's 14-1 rout of the Angels.
Analysis
Six different Blue Jays recorded multiple knocks as part of a 20-hit barrage, but Clement paced his team with his second career five-hit performance. His solo shot in the seventh inning was Clement's second homer of the season, and through 38 games he's slashing .299/.319/.422 with one steal, 12 RBI and 14 runs.

Stat Review
How does Ernie Clement compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2021
2020
Clement has shown an ability to hit minor league pitching, but even that was only recently, as he had a solid season for Triple-A Buffalo around between moving to and from the big league roster. However, Clement left Triple-A in the rearview mirror in 2024 and went on to do something five other active players have done: He had an at-bat/strikeout ratio greater than 10.0 in a season of 450 or more plate appearances. Only David Fletcher, Kevin Newman, Jose Altuve and Luis Arraez (3x!) have that on their resumes. Clement, however, hit more homers than those players, with 12. Let's stay weird; despite all that contact, Clement had a poor .284 OBP because he put too many balls into play. He has dual-eligibility to the left side of the infield, but Bichette's return rules out shortstop, while Clement really is not an everyday player at third base. He is out of options, so he is all but certain to have a roster spot with the Jays. What he does with that roster spot is up to him, but he profiles more as a flexible reserve than he does an everyday corner man.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Clearer path to playing time
Clement has a path toward an everyday role at second base in 2026 after Bo Bichette signed a three-year, $126 million contract with the Mets on Friday.
Analysis
Clement was the infield utility man Toronto leaned on during the 2025 season, and he was a key piece to the Blue Jays' run to the World Series. With the Blue Jays signing Kazuma Okamoto to play third base and Bichette leaving for the Mets, Clement's clearest path to playing time in 2026 is at second base while Andres Gimenez and Vladimir Guerrero man shortstop and first base, respectively. Clement is coming off a productive 2025 regular season in which he slashed .277/.313/.398 with six steals, 83 runs, nine home runs and 50 RBI over 588 plate appearances while being named a finalist for the Gold Glove Award.
