Max Clark reaches four times in MLB debut Friday

Max Clark

DET Center Fielder #95

Player Stats

Max Clark had a memorable MLB debut in Friday night’s victory over the Athletics, going 3-for-4 with two doubles, a walk, two runs scored and an RBI.

Clark worked Jeffrey Springs for a walk in his first MLB plate appearance, then blooped a single into left field in his next trip to the dish to collect his first hit. After bouncing out in the sixth inning, Clark smacked an RBI double off of left-hander Brady Basso in the eighth inning then scored on an error by Tommy White. He also doubled in the ninth inning and scored on a two-run single by Javier Baez. He’s going to have some growing pains, but his dynamic blend of power and speed should make him an intriguing option in deeper mixed leagues.

Max Clark is not in the Tigers’ starting lineup for Saturday’s divisional showdown against the Guardians.

Clark has been a fixture in the Tigers’ lineup in center field since arriving from Triple-A Toledo, but he’ll get a breather in this one after playing in both halves of Friday’s doubleheader and with tough left-hander Parker Messick toeing the slab for the Guardians. The 21-year-old has impressed in his first exposure to big league pitching, slashing .265/.331/.434 with a pair of homers, 16 RBI and two stolen bases in his first 126 plate appearances. Zach McKinstry will start in his place in center field and bat eighth for the Tigers.

Max Clark turned in a second straight three-hit game and knocked in two in the first game of Friday’s doubleheader versus the Guardians.

Clark also was credited with a big sliding catch in left field in the seventh. It actually looked like he trapped the ball, but it was declared an out on the field and the call stood on replay. Clark is up to .275/.342/.450 with 16 RBI through 31 big-league games. Except for a drop in his walk rate, that’s hardly much different than his .276/.368/.434 line from Triple-A.

Max Clark went 3-for-4 with three doubles, three runs scored, one RBI, and two walks in a wild 11-6 win over the Twins in 12 innings.

Clark was everywhere in this game. His first two doubles helped to set up rallies in the early innings and his third was huge in the moment, giving his Tigers the lead in the 11th before their bullpen made them win it in the 12th. Nevertheless, this one game brought his batting average up from .238 to .257 and his OPS from .697 to .766 as he continues to find his footing in the big leagues.

Max Clark tripled in the Tigers’ only run and walked Friday against the Dodgers.

Clark took a 99-mph fastball on the outer-third from Tarik Skubal and slapped it 105-mph the other way for the triple. It’s still very early, but he’s hit an impressive .286/.375/.571 in 32 plate appearances in lefty-lefty matchups. Unfortunately, he’s at just .226/.273/.339 in 67 plate appearances against righties.

Max Clark went 0-for-3 in a loss to the Rays on Tuesday.

After a torrid start to his MLB career in two games in Sacramento, Clark has found the going a little tough. In August, he’s gone 18-for-84 (.214) with two home runs, nine runs scored, 11 RBI, and a 19/5 K/BB ratio. He also has just one stolen base. The future is still bright for Clark, but he doesn’t have tons of fantasy value right now while hitting at the bottom of the lineup for a mediocre offense.

Max Clark went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run against the Rays on Tuesday.

Clark’s home run was his second. He hit a two-run shot off Ian Seymour in the fifth inning. Clark was 9-for-49 (.184) with no home runs and four RBI over his last 14 games entering play Tuesday. He’s hitting .247 with a .704 OPS and 12 RBI in the first 23 games of his career.

Max Clark is out of the Tigers lineup Saturday for the first time since being called up.

Clark had started 13 straight games, including the last three against southpaws. The Tigers, though, are sitting him versus Anthony Kay today, which gives Corey Julks a start in the outfield.

Max Clark went 0-for-4 with an RBI in a win over the Giants on Sunday.

Clark got off to a tremendous start to his MLB career during his first two games in Sacramento. In the seven games since, he has gone 6-for-28 (.214) with four RBI, one extra-base hit, and an 11/3 K/BB ratio. He also has yet to attempt a stolen base in the majors despite being a stolen base threat in the minor leagues. Overall, it’s been a solid enough early stretch for Clark, but the lack of stolen bases and inconsistent power production may keep his ceiling in check from a redraft fantasy perspective.
Max Clark

DET Center Fielder #95

Max Clark went 2-for-5 with a triple, a run scored and two RBI against the Giants on Saturday.

Clark’s first hit was a fly ball to left field that left his bat at 82.9 mph in the second inning. Even with the bases-loaded and only one out, the Tigers didn’t score. In the seventh inning, Clark roped a fly ball to centerfield and wound up on third easily with his speed. The 21-year-old outfielder is far from a finished product, but Clark has reached base safely in all eight major league games he’s played so far. He also made a great catch on a sharp fly ball off the bat of Drew Gilbert in the second inning. Clark is hitting .333 with a .966 OPS and six RBI so far.

Max Clark is hitting seventh on Saturday against the Giants.

Clark has gotten off to an extremely encouraging start at the highest level, hitting .321 (9-for-28) with one homer and four RBI through seven games since being called up from Triple-A Toledo last week. The Tigers have shown zero indication that they’re considering moving their top positional prospect towards the top of the order, which limits his counting stats upside for the final two months. He should provide enough of a batting average boost, in addition to some stolen bases, to be worthy of a roster spot in deeper fantasy leagues.

Teoscar Hernández went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer and a stolen base in powering the Dodgers past the Reds 6-3 on Monday.

The homer off Brandon Williamson left his bat at 112.6 mph, his hardest-hit ball since 2024. His previous high this year was 112.2 mph. Finally coming alive at a great time for the Dodgers, Hernández is 13-for-29 with two homers, 11 RBI and two steals in his last eight games.

Emmet Sheehan struck out 10 while allowing one run in 5 2/3 innings Monday in a win over the Reds.

The lone run came on Elly De La Cruz’s homer in the first. Sheehan allowed only two other hits and walked one in the 82-pitch outing. Manager Dave Roberts said after the game that Sheehan would get a chance to remain in the rotation. That probably puts him in line to face the Marlins on Sunday, making him a worthy streaming option.

Evan Phillips recorded his first save since May 2, 2025 with a perfect ninth Monday against the Reds.

In a bit of a surprise, Tanner Scott went unused tonight, though he wasn’t really needed in a three-run game against Cincinnati. Phillips has pitched seven scoreless innings and struck out 10 over his last eight appearances. He struggled some initially in his return from Tommy John surgery, but in his current form, he should be a key reliever for the Dodgers in October. He averaged 98.5 mph with his fastball tonight, which is up about two mph from his best seasons in 2022 and ’23.

Chase Burns

Chase Burns pitched three hitless innings and struck out five against the Dodgers on Monday.

Burns allowed just one batter to reach, that on a walk, in the 44-pitch outing. He’s expected to remain on a similar pitch count for the rest of the season. He’s currently at 148 1/3 innings with three outings to go, so it looks like he’ll fall just short of qualifying for the ERA title. He’s sixth in the NL and 10th in the majors in ERA at the moment.

Brandon Williamson gave up six runs — three earned — in 4 1/3 innings after replacing Chase Burns against the Dodgers on Monday.

Williamson entered with a one-run lead in the fourth, but that didn’t last long, mostly because he walked five (one intentionally) and hit a batter. He’s expected to continue pitching behind Burns for now.

Shohei Ohtani said after Monday’s game that he intends to focus on hitting for now.

Ohtani went 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts against the Reds after missing four games to rest his knee and biceps injuries. A return to the mound this year hasn’t been completely ruled out, but Ohtani isn’t pursuing it at the moment in order to give him his best chance of succeeding offensively. It’s safe to assume he’ll be a hitter-only until the postseason, and it’s probably not going to be worth the risk for him to try to contribute in short mound stints in October.

Rafael Devers doubled twice and walked twice Monday as the Giants beat the Cardinals 6-5 in 10 innings.

Devers’ first double, which plated a run in the first, was a 406-foot shot to right-center that would have been a homer in 29 ballparks, but not at Oracle Park. He has 36 doubles this season. It’s his highest total since 2022, but he’s not approaching his career high of 54 from 2019.

Coming off possibly the worst outing of his career, Logan Webb held the Cardinals to one run and three hits over six innings Monday.

Webb matched his season high with eight strikeouts, racking up 19 whiffs on 45 swings. He departed with a 3-1 lead, but it didn’t hold up, leaving him with a no-decision. He can’t really complain, though, given that he avoided a loss after allowing nine runs in two-plus innings last time out against the Pirates. Webb should make his next start Sunday against the Padres.

Dylan Smith took his fourth blown save after allowing one run in 1 2/3 innings Monday against the Cardinals.

The Giants were hoping for a two-inning save from Smith in a 3-2 game, but they didn’t get it, mostly because of poor infield play. Joshua Báez led off the ninth with a routine grounder to short, but Christian Koss slipped and made a weak throw, resulting in a single. Thomas Saggese then hit a grounder up the middle that a diving Osleivis Basabe got a glove on but couldn’t corral. The Cardinals went on to tie the game on a walk and a sac fly, but Smith probably won’t be hurt by the result, especially after the Giants went on to win in extras.
