Clement was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.
Analysis: Cam Eden is coming up to absorb Clement's spot on the Blue Jays' roster. Clement boasts an .885 OPS in 52 plate appearances in the majors this season, but his opportunities have been few and far between.
Ernie Clement Moves into utility role
Clement is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers.
Analysis: Though he drew the start at shortstop in Wednesday's 10-0 loss to Texas, Clement has moved back into a utility role since Bo Bichette was reinstated from the 10-day injured list last Friday. Clement is now on the bench for the third time in four games and is expected to see few opportunities moving forward now that Toronto has recently welcomed back both of its regular starters on the left side of the infield (Bichette and Matt Chapman) back from the IL.
