US EditionRays Ace Shane McClanahan Takes Step Toward His Big League Return After Shutout Inning in Minors
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, FLORIDA, JUL 8 – Shane McClanahan began his rehab assignment after two Tommy John surgeries and an inflamed nerve, pitching a hitless inning in the Florida Complex League, officials said.
- Shane McClanahan, the 28-year-old left-handed Rays pitcher, made his first rehab appearance of the season in a July 2025 game within the Florida Complex League at Port Charlotte.
- McClanahan had been sidelined since August 2023 due to a second Tommy John surgery and nerve issues in his left triceps that ended his season early.
- In his rehab outing, he pitched one inning, struck out one, walked one, and did not allow a hit or run, marking progress toward his return.
- Manager Kevin Cash said, "Everything went very well," adding the Rays received a good report from rehab pitching coach Rick Knapp and are optimistic about McClanahan's recovery.
- McClanahan's rehab assignment is ongoing, and if no setbacks occur, he could soon move up levels and aim to rejoin the Rays later this summer to help a bullpen struggling with a 7.57 ERA over 15 games.
