Shane McClanahan is a left-handed pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays, born on April 28, 1997, in Baltimore, Maryland. He made his MLB debut in 2020 and earned All-Star honors in both 2022 and 2023. Over his career, McClanahan has compiled a 33-16 record with a 3.02 ERA and 456 strikeouts in 404.2 innings.
After missing the 2024 season due to Tommy John surgery, McClanahan returned to action in 2025. In his final spring training start on March 22, he exited early with left triceps tightness.
The Rays are awaiting further evaluations to determine the severity of the injury and its potential impact on his role as the Opening Day starter.
