Shane McClanahan Expected to be "Fully Ready" for Spring Training

Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Shane McClanahan (triceps) is expected to be "fully ready" for the start of spring training in mid-February of 2026, according to president of baseball operations Erik Neander. McClanahan was expected to be a full-go going into spring training this year, too, after having Tommy John surgery on his left elbow in 2023. However, the talented southpaw suffered a left triceps nerve injury in spring training and did not pitch at all for the team in 2025. He made two rehab starts in the minors before eventually going under the knife in August. The Rays have similar optimism that McClanahan will be good to go next year, but at this point, despite the high upside, fantasy managers should be wary of spending too much on the oft-injured Rays ace. Remember, McClanahan has not pitched in the big leagues since August of 2023, so he's sure to have restrictions if he's healthy in 2026, at least early on.

Shane McClanahan has Surgery, Won't Return in 2025

Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Shane McClanahan (triceps) had surgery on his left triceps on Monday to try and address a lingering nerve issue in his arm, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. McClanahan will now officially miss the rest of the season. "(The doctor) is not sitting there saying 'he's fixed.' That's not the case. It's, 'This is one step, and we'll see how this goes.' And hopefully we get good results. And if we don't, then let doctors decide what else is needed, if anything," manager Kevin Cash said. The 28-year-old southpaw made three minor-league rehab starts before being shut down, and what Cash had to say isn't very encouraging going into the offseason and next year. McClanahan, the former 31st overall pick in 2018 out of South Florida has not pitched in the big leagues since 2023 due to injuries, so it's fair to wonder if he can recapture his All-Star form in 2026.

Shane McClanahan Throws from 60 Feet

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Shane McClanahan (triceps/biceps) was able to play catch from 60 feet on Monday and "felt OK, nothing great," per manager Kevin Cash. McClanahan has been sidelined all season after leaving a start late in spring training with a triceps issue and lately working through left biceps soreness. He was scheduled to make a fourth start for the Durham Bulls last Thursday, but he felt the biceps soreness during a 10-pitch bullpen session last Monday. After a week off, he's back to throwing again, but he'll need to ramp back up once again before he's ready to make his season debut. He seemed to be on track for a return in early August before the latest setback, but he now could return late in August or early in September, depending on his health and the Rays' position in the playoff race.

Shane McClanahan has Sore Bicep, Won't Make Rehab Start on Thursday

Bally Sports' Ryan Bass reports that the Tampa Bay Rays are "pulling back" ace Shane McClanahan (bicep, triceps) for a few days due to a sore bicep, which means he will miss his next minor-league rehab start on Thursday. Manager Kevin Cash said it has nothing to do with the triceps nerve issue that McClanahan dealt with in spring training, and it's just the result of fatigue while building his arm up. "He's frustrated, rightfully so, because he wants to be here," Cash said. "He wants to help us, so he could get a ball right back in his hand in the next two or three days." While it's frustrating for fantasy managers that have been holding the 28-year-old southpaw all year, it's ultimately not terrible news. It's still possible that McClanahan could make his season debut in August, although he'll likely be on a short leash and won't have much time to make a fantasy impact.

Shane McClanahan Throws 10-Pitch Bullpen Session Monday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Shane McClanahan (triceps) threw a 10-pitch bullpen session on Monday, per Tampa Bay Times' Marc Topkin. Manager Kevin Cash said McClanahan, "Felt OK, nothing great. So we'll see how he comes in tomorrow. We'll just see. I don't have much to add right now." The 28-year-old had a rough rehab outing with Triple-A Durham last Friday, failing to make it out of the first inning. McClanahan was recovering from Tommy John surgery this spring, but was derailed due to nerve irritation in his triceps. He is currently scheduled to make another rehab start with Triple-A on Thursday, but it is unclear if the results of his bullpen session will affect that. McClanahan showed plenty of fantasy promise when he was healthy, but the clock is ticking away for him to provide value in 2025.

Shane McClanahan Fans Three in FCL Rehab Start

Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Shane McClanahan (triceps) made another minor-league rehab start on Sunday in the rookie-level Florida Complex League and allowed an earned run on four hits while walking none and striking out three in only 1 2/3 innings of work. McClanahan threw 23 of his 36 pitches for strikes and got up to 94 mph with his fastball after a setback with his left triceps previously. The 28-year-old southpaw was attempting to return from Tommy John surgery this spring before suffering from nerve irritation in his triceps that has kept him sidelined for all of 2025 to this point. He will eventually move his rehab to Triple-A Durham before potentially joining the Rays' starting rotation at some point in August. McClanahan has ace potential when healthy, although it remains to be seen how much he'll be abel to help fantasy managers the rest of the way in 2025.

Shane McClanahan Making Rehab Start on Sunday

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Shane McClanahan (triceps) took the mound for a rehab start with Triple-A Durham on Sunday. He started his rehab assignment earlier in the week with a scoreless inning of work in the Rookie-level Florida Complex league. The 28-year-old took the ball again on Sunday, but didn't give another scoreless outing. McClanahan tossed 1.2 innings, allowing one earned run on four hits while striking out three batters. The expectation is that McClanahan will need a few more rehab starts before returning to the Rays roster. He has been sidelined since spring training, but is hopeful to be available in early August.

Shane McClanahan Tosses Clean Frame in First Rehab Appearance

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Shane McClanahan (triceps) issued one free pass and struck out a batter over one inning on Tuesday in his first rehab appearance for the Florida Complex League Rays. The 28-year-old hasn't pitched in a major-league game since undergoing Tommy John surgery in August of 2023 and a subsequent triceps issue that popped up during spring training. McClanahan displayed all four of his pitches in the outing and is progressing well, per the team. If all goes according to plan over the next few days, the Rays expect him to make his next rehab outing for Triple-A Durham Sunday -- a significant step as he looks to rejoin the big-league squad in early August. As of now, he's on track to do so. We'll learn more about his progress in a few days.

Shane McClanahan to Begin Rehab Assignment

Tampa Bay Rays starter Shane McClanahan (triceps) has been sent on a rehab assignment to the Florida Complex League. The assignment brings McClanahan one step closer to a big-league return, which he has been working towards since undergoing Tommy John surgery in August of 2023. The talented left-hander was on track to return for the start of the 2025 season, but he injured his left triceps in spring training. Last time McClanahan was on the big-league mound he was a clear fantasy asset. In 115 innings pitched (21 starts) in 2023, McClanahan went 11-2 with a 3.29 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and 121 strikeouts. Given that it's been nearly two full years since he last pitched, he'll likely need to throw a significant number of innings on his rehab assignment before the Rays activate him.

Shane McClanahan Throws a Full Intensity Bullpen Tuesday

Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Shane McClanahan (triceps) threw a full-intensity bullpen session Tuesday, MLB.com reports. He is expected to throw at least one more time before either increasing his workload in the bullpen or progressing to facing live hitters in some capacity. The Rays reported that the session went well, but no further details were offered. At this time, it appears that the Rays and McClanahan are still targeting a mid-to-late August return date, but this will be dependent on his progress. Fantasy managers will want to keep tabs on what his next steps are. However, at this point, his potential return date is right around the end of the regular season in fantasy baseball, so at best, he will only provide your team with two to five starts, and that's if your team makes it to championship weekend.
