Rays' Shane McClanahan: Rusty in return Monday
McClanahan took a no-decision against the Orioles on Monday, allowing three runs on four hits and no walks in 3.1 innings. He struck out three.
Making his return from the injured list, McClanahan showed signs of rust on the major-league mound following a one-start rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham. The Rays appeared to have a strict workload limit in place for the left-hander, who threw only 57 pitches (35 strikes), but he should see those restrictions loosen as he becomes further removed from his bout of left mid-back tightness. McClanahan is set to take a 3.25 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 94:35 K:BB over 102.1 innings into a road rematch with Baltimore.

Rays' Shane McClanahan: Reinstated ahead of Monday's start
The Rays activated McClanahan (back) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start Monday againt the Orioles at Tropicana Field.
McClanahan will make his return to the Rays after being shelved for almost three weeks with mid-back tightness. The left-hander fanned two batters over three perfect innings in his lone rehab start with Triple-A Durham last Tuesday. McClahahan threw just 30 pitches in that outing and hasn't reached 50 pitches in a start since July 24, so his workload Monday will be somewhat abbreviated.

Rays' Shane McClanahan: Making return from IL on Monday
McClanahan (back) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Monday's series finale versus the Orioles at Tropicana Field, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
McClanahan has received the green light to rejoin the Tampa Bay rotation after he struck out two batters over three perfect innings during his lone rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Durham. Considering that McClanahan tossed just 30 pitches in that outing, he'll likely be in line for a restricted workload Monday, when he'll be making his first start for the Rays since July 30 before hitting the shelf with left mid-back tightness.

Rays' Shane McClanahan: Perfect in rehab start
McClanahan (back) threw three perfect innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Durham on Tuesday. He struck out two.
After tossing two innings in a simulated game Thursday, McClanahan was flawless Tuesday in the next step of his recovery. The left-hander threw 30 pitches in the outing and averaged 95.7 mph with his fastball, which is right on par with his season average. McClanahan is working his way back from left mid-back tightness, and it's possible his next appearance will come in the major leagues.

Rays' Shane McClanahan: Goes through simulated game
McClanahan (back) threw two innings in a simulated game Thursday, per MLB.com.
McClanahan is next scheduled to toss three innings in another outing in the next several days, according to president of baseball operations Erik Neander. The Rays believe the left-hander is dealing with only a minor bout of left mid-back tightness, and McClanahan appears to have a chance of avoiding heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment before rejoining Tampa Bay's rotation.

Rays' Shane McClanahan: Heading to injured list
The Rays placed McClanahan (back) on the 15-day IL on Friday due to a back injury, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
After leaving Thursday's start in the fourth inning with mid-back tightness, McClanahan will officially be shut down. President of baseball operations Erik Neander believes the injury is "pretty minor", and the left-hander could miss just two starts. On the campaign, the 29-year-old owns a 3.09 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 91:35 K:BB in 99 innings. Tampa Bay is recalling Alex Cook from Triple-A Durham to take McClanahan's place on the active roster.

Rays' Shane McClanahan: Exits start with back injury
McClanahan was pulled from Thursday's start versus the Rangers in the fourth inning with left mid-back tightness, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.
McClanahan hit the leadoff man with a pitch to lead off the top of the fourth inning and then issued a walk to the second batter he saw. At that point, he was visited by the trainer and walked off the field. The Rays had a reliever warming at the start of the inning even though the lefty had thrown three scoreless frames, indicating they knew McClanahan's back had been bothering him. McClanahan was charged with one run on two walks and a strikeout over three-plus innings. The club should have more on the hurler's status after the contest.

Rays' Shane McClanahan: Throws five solid innings in win
McClanahan (9-6) picked up the win after going five innings against Cleveland on Friday, allowing one run on two hits and three walks while striking out three.
After a rocky start in his last outing against Boston, McClanahan bounced back Friday, allowing just one run in five innings of work. The left-hander threw 71 pitches, 45 of them for strikes, though he tied his season low with just three strikeouts. Through 19 starts this season, the 29-year-old now holds a 3.09 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 88:33 K:BB in 96 innings.

Rays' Shane McClanahan: Stumbles in sixth loss
McClanahan (8-6) took the loss Sunday against the Red Sox, allowing six runs (four earned) on five hits and three walks in five innings. He struck out three.
Two runs went unearned in the third inning, when Jahmai Jones first scored on a passed ball by Hunter Feduccia, and then Wilyer Abreu came across for another run on a throwing error by Junior Caminero. The three punchouts tied a season low for McClanahan, who also matched a season worst in runs allowed in an outing to forget all around. The southpaw is set to carry a 3.07 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 85:31 K:BB over 91 innings into a favorable home matchup against Cleveland.

Rays' Shane McClanahan: Season-long workload in win
McClanahan (8-5) earned the win against the Yankees on Wednesday, allowing four hits and no walks while striking out five over 6.1 scoreless innings.
McClanahan threw 59 of 85 pitches for strikes with 12 whiffs while posting his longest outing since June 2023. The 29-year-old will head into the All-Star break having tossed three straight quality starts, including back-to-back scoreless victories. He'll wrap up the first half with a 2.83 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 82:28 K:BB across 86 innings in what has been an encouraging comeback campaign thus far.

Rays' Shane McClanahan: Notches seventh win
McClanahan (7-5) earned the win Wednesday over the Royals, allowing three hits and no walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out four.
McClanahan certainly appeared to benefit from the extra rest he got after Tampa Bay elected to skip his last turn in the rotation. The southpaw was excellent Wednesday, as he blanked Kansas City to earn his first win since May 31. McClanahan turned the page on a rough month of June, during which he went 0-3 with a 5.79 ERA across four starts (18.2 innings). His ERA now sits at 3.05 through 16 starts (79.2 innings) this season with a 1.17 WHIP and 77:28 K:BB. McClanahan is tentatively lined up to face the Yankees at home his next time out.

Rays' Shane McClanahan: Back in rotation Wednesday
McClanahan is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Royals in Kansas City, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
McClanahan will return to the bump on seven days' rest, after the Rays elected to skip his turn through the rotation last week in an effort to monitor his workload coming off two seasons that were essentially wiped out due to injury. The 29-year-old has thus far been a picture of health in 2026, though he had seen his effectiveness wane over his four June starts (5.79 ERA, 1.82 WHIP in 18.2 innings). The Rays are hoping that the extra rest will allow McClanahan to deliver a bounce-back performance Wednesday, when he'll be taking on a banged-up Royals lineup that could be without one of its hotter hitters in Jac Caglianone (groin).

Rays' Shane McClanahan: Won't start this weekend
McClanahan won't make a start during the Rays' series against the Diamondbacks this weekend and will be pushed back several days in the pitching schedule as Tampa Bay looks to monitor his workload, John Romano of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
After not making any appearance at the big-league level over the past two seasons while recovering from August 2023 Tommy John surgery and then a nerve issue in his elbow that popped up last spring and required another procedure in August, McClanahan has staged a healthy and successful comeback in 2026. He's posted a 3.30 ERA and 1.22 WHIP over 73.2 innings, but the 29-year-old southpaw has shown signs of wearing down of late. In his last four starts, McClanahan has gone 0-3 while yielding 16 runs (12 earned) on 25 hits and nine walks across 18.2 frames. The Rays seem confident that no injury is behind his recent struggles, but he'll nonetheless get some extended rest. The team has yet to announce who will replace him in the rotation Saturday.
