Overview
- McClanahan threw one hitless, scoreless inning on July 8 for the Florida Complex League Rays, facing four batters with one strikeout and one walk.
- Manager Kevin Cash, citing assistant coach Rick Knapp, praised his poise and labeled the outing “a very pro effort.”
- This appearance marks the start of a structured rehab progression that will see him advance from Rookie ball to Triple-A Durham to rebuild stamina and mechanics.
- He has not pitched in the majors since August 2, 2023, when he underwent his second Tommy John surgery and later suffered a triceps nerve irritation in spring training.
- If he tolerates the workload over the 30-day rehab window, McClanahan could rejoin the Rays’ rotation in early to mid-August.
