Tyler Clippard Reinstated From Injured List
Tyler Clippard (shoulder, knee) has been reinstated from the 60-day injured list, the team announced through Twitter on Wednesday. Clippard has yet to make an appearance this season, after being shutdown at the end of Spring Training due to a capsule sprain in his right shoulder and then later in May undergoing a minor knee surgery. He had figured to be in the mix for the closer's job in Arizona following a solid 2020 campaign in which he went 2-1 with a 2.77 ERA, 0.885 WHIP and 26.5 percent strikeout rate over 26 innings of work. Entering the Diamondbacks bullpen now, he could be a decent add off the waiver wire in SV/HLD formats.

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.
