Rays Place Ace LHP Shane McClanahan (Forearm Tightness) on IL

McClanahan’s second IL stint this season comes after he logged a 10-7 record and 3.36 ERA in 24 starts.

  • On Friday, the Tampa Bay Rays placed LHP Shane McClanahan on the 15-day IL with left forearm tightness, recalling RHP Alex Cook from Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move.
  • Just two days after having their entire projected starting rotation healthy, the group suffered another setback; McClanahan's injury follows his recent return from a mid-back issue that sidelined him over two weeks.
  • McClanahan has made 24 starts this season, throwing 118 innings with a 3.36 ERA and 106 strikeouts while maintaining a strong 128 ERA+ and 3.49 FIP.
  • The pitcher does not believe the setback is serious, telling MLB.com, "We made the decision as a team to not let this compound, not let this snowball."
  • With only 22 games remaining before the postseason, the Rays lead the American League East Division and will rely on Ian Seymour and Griffin Jax to round out the rotation.
