Tyler Clippard Reinstated From COVID-19 List
Tyler Clippard from the COVID-19 injured list on Monday. Fellow reliever Miguel Aguilar was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Clippard spent about a week on the COVID-19 list. He never tested positive for the virus, but he was experiencing COVID-like symptoms. The 36-year-old veteran has been the team's primary closer since Joakim Soria was traded away at the trade deadline. Clippard has converted five of his seven save opportunities while pitching to a 2.65 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP this year. He's worth rostering for anyone desperate for saves.

Tyler Clippard Returns To Free Agency
Tyler Clippard is back on the open market. The 37-year-old righty will receive a buyout of $500 thousand dollars in lieu of the $3.5 million dollars he would have made had his mutual option been picked up by both sides. Clippard was injured for much of the 2021 season, but he was effective with a 3.20 ERA and six saves in 25 1/3 innings and 26 appearances when he did take the field. He figures to fill a set-up role wherever he latches out, giving him the potential for fantasy relevance in holds leagues, but his lack of strikeouts keeps him from being a priority.
