Rays LHP Shane McClanahan won’t be available for ALDS
The Tampa Bay Rays won’t have one of their top starters in the mix when they begin their 2026 post-season schedule.
McClanahan has been on the injured list with the ailment since Sept. 3. The two-time all-star also missed time earlier this season with a back injury.
Over 118 innings and 24 starts in the regular season, McClanahan posted a 3.36 ERA and racked up 106 strikeouts.
Tampa Bay clinched the American League East title with a victory over the New York Yankees, securing the top seed in the junior circuit and a first-round bye to the ALDS.
The Rays will face the winner of the wild-card series between the Yankees and likely the Boston Red Sox.
Without McClanahan, their rotation will likely consist of Drew Rasmussen, Freddy Peralta and Nick Martinez for the best-of-five.
