Clemens will join the Padres prior to their game against the Yankees on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Clemens was recently acquired off waivers Tuesday, and will join the Padres' bullpen Friday. The 28-year-old made two starts for the Marlins in the past 10 days after being called up from their Triple-A team (going a combined 1-0 with a 6.30 ERA during 10 innings of action). Clemens will likely spend his time in the bullpen but could make an appearance starting if others in the starting rotation falter or go down with an injury.

Manager Andy Green confirmed Tuesday that Clemens will join the Padres' bullpen for the time being, Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
A waiver acquisition from Miami, Clemens made two starts for the Marlins and has worked exclusively as a starter in the minors this season. The results have not been good, but Green is keeping the door open for Clemens to eventually return to a starting role. It's not hard to imagine Clemens getting that chance to start again eventually with the likes of Erik Johnson and Luis Perdomo currently rounding out the rotation.

Clemens was claimed off waivers by San Diego on Tuesday, Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Clemens made two starts with the Marlins this season, posting a 6.30 ERA over 10 innings, after spending the majority of 2016 with Triple-A New Orleans. He'll now head to the West Coast where he'll join the Padres 25-man roster immediately and could make his first appearance with the club in the coming days.

Clemens (1-0) gave up four hits, four earned runs and five walks over five innings in Saturday's 9-6 victory over the Cubs. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old certainly wasn't sharp, but managed to do just enough to limit the damage. Clemens struggled mightily with his control, reaching 103 pitches in just five frames. He received a considerable helping hand from his offense, which helped bail him out of an early 4-1 deficit. Despite notching his first victory, Clemens' penchant for giving up the long ball-- evidenced most recently by the five homers he's given up over his first 10 innings-- has to be a cause for significant concern. He'll next face off against the Braves on Friday.

Clemens allowed three runs on seven hits with three walks and just two strikeouts over five innings against the Rockies, coming away with a no-decision in his first major-league start since 2013.
EDGE Analysis
Clemens allowed three solo homers, but still pitched well enough to keep his team in it. The recently recalled right-hander has experience both as a starter and a reliever, but it looks like he's scheduled to once again take on the former role in a tough matchup with the Cubs on Saturday.

Clemens will get the start for the Marlins on Monday against the Rockies, MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reports.
EDGE Analysis
Clemens had his contracted selected from Triple-A New Orleans on Sunday, but rather than provide bullpen depth, he will make his 2016 debut as a starter. The right-hander sports a 4.13 FIP at the Triple-A level this season, striking out 7.9 batters per nine innings.

Clemens had his contract seclected from Triple-A New Orleans on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Clemens and his 4.30 Triple-A ERA will be added to the 25-man roster Sunday in an effort to provide bullpen depth. Don't look too closely into the 28-year-old's minor league numbers, as he currently makes his living in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League.

The Phillies assigned Clemens to minor league camp on Sunday, CSN Philadelphia reports. Clemens was competing for a starting or long relief gig this spring. He allowed five runs on eight hits over 8.2 innings. He also walked six batters. The Phillies will likely have him remain in a starting role at Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Clemens was designated for assignment by the Astros on Tuesday. Clemens earned his removal from the 40-man roster by compiling a 5.84 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 16:13 K:BB ratio over 24.2 innings. He's unlikely to land with another big league club before season's end.
