Shane McClanahan News
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Shane McClanahan didn't have his best start of the season on Sunday against the Toronto Blue Jays. The Rays ace gave up six hits, four earned runs, three home runs, and a pair of walks in five innings against Toronto. He also struck out a pair of batters on the day and logged nine swinging strikes to go along with a 25% CSW rate on 76 pitches. The 25-year-old has provided elite production for both the Rays and fantasy managers this season, pitching to a 2.51 ERA, a 3.01 FIP, 192 strikeouts, and 37 walks in 161.1 innings.
Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Shane McClanahan (neck) fully expects to make his next scheduled start after leaving the game early on Tuesday against the Houston Astros with left neck tightness. Before leaving on Tuesday, he surrendered five runs on five hits while walking four and striking out three in four innings. It was the 25-year-old southpaw's second start back from the injured list for a left shoulder impingement, so the Rays weren't taking any chances with the All-Star hurler. If he's not pushed back at all, McClanahan lines up to pitch again against the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday. He's now 12-6 on the year with a 2.36 ERA (2.74 FIP), a 0.89 WHIP, 190 K's and 35 walks in 156 1/3 innings over his 26 starts in his second big-league season.
Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Shane McClanahan (shoulder) was removed from his start early on Tuesday against the Houston Astros due to left shoulder discomfort after manager Kevin Cash and athletic trainer Mike Sandoval went to check on him. Hopefully this was just a precaution, but the 25-year-old All-Star was also making just his second start after returning from a three-week absence due to a left shoulder impingement. Before leaving, McClanahan was beat up to the tune of five earned runs on five hits (one homer) while walking four and striking out three in four innings. Fantasy managers will have to check back for more updates on his status, but with time running out in the regular season, the Rays could elect to let McClanahan rest until a possible postseason run.

Few left-handed pitchers can boast a repertoire as good as Shane McClanahan. Not only is McClanahan the hardest throwing southpaw starter in baseball, he possess a wickedly sharp 90-mph slider to pair with it, along with a strong curveball and changeup to round out deep arsenal. That repertoire helped the young lefty spin his way to a spectacular rookie season, posting a 3.43 ERA, 3.31 FIP, and 20.1% K-BB% in 123.1 innings. It's easy to watch the man pitch and gush over his talent, and the proof was in the pudding as McClanahan mowed down opponents with a 10.29 K/9 and 14.8% SwStr rate in 2021. There's little reason to doubt the ability given the measurables of his stuff and the results, but as gifted as McClanahan is on the mound, an unorthodox throwing motion and undersized frame call into question whether McClanahan can handle a starter's workload over a full season. He's already undergone Tommy John Surgery once, and has suffered from a smattering of injuries throughout his professional career, including back trouble that landed him on the injured list last season. Tampa Bay has been one of the most conservative and prudent organizations when it comes to managing young arms, which, while smart from a real baseball perspective, can cause frustrations for fantasy managers trying to milk the talent from their pitchers. That being said, Tampa Bay used to have the luxury of using established pitchers such as Tyler Glasnow, Charlie Morton, and Blake Snell to absorb a big innings load, and unless we get a Corey Kluber renaissance, there's nobody else on the roster that Tampa can rely on to be their ace. 2022 might be McClanahan's chance to take the ace turn we've seen others in Tampa make; he's certainly got the ability, the only limiting factors are health and innings management. Plan on 130-160 exceptional innings from McClanahan and if the reigns come off this could be a dark horse Cy Young contender. With an NFBC ADP of 107, McClanahan makes for a fine high upside number three or four starter.
