Overview

• Shane McClanahan has not pitched in a major‐league game since his Tommy John surgery in August 2023, marking over two years sidelined.
• A July minor‐league rehab assignment was halted after three outings when he developed biceps tendinitis, and he remains limited to light throwing.
• Rays president Erik Neander reports “no huge progress” on the lingering nerve issue and describes its recovery as unpredictable and unprecedented.
• A full pitching progression would require at least a month of bullpens, live batting practice and rehab games, time the team may not have.
• Manager Kevin Cash confirmed McClanahan underwent another surgical procedure Monday to address the nerve irritation, effectively ending his 2025 season
