    Clemens was acquired from Detroit in January 2023 and hit .220 with nine homers and 31 RBI in 97 games. He was 0 for 6 in seven games this season, appearing in six as a pinch-hitter.

    Clemens has a .197 average with 14 homers and 58 RBI in four big league seasons.

    Wilson, 30, hit .158 with two RBI in 10 games during a minor league rehab assignment with Class A Clearwater and Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

    Sanchez left Tuesday night’s 5-1 loss after two innings. He threw just 33 of 58 pitches for strikes.

    “He actually wanted to play catch today,” Thomson said. “Last I had heard, they just want him just to rest today.”

    Left-hander Ranger Suarez, sidelined since spring training with lower back stiffness, is scheduled to pitch for Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday in a fourth rehab outing, then could be activated. Suárez threw 59 pitches for the IronPigs on Tuesday.

    “It all depends on how Sanchy feels,” Thomson said.
