The Tampa Bay Rays were set to see their ace Shane McClanahan return from Tommy John surgery this season, but the lefty exited Saturday’s start early.
Shane McClanahan was set to return to the mound for the Tampa Bay Rays as their opening day starter this season. The lefty last pitched in 2023, missing all of last year as he recovered from Tommy John surgery.
In one of the last spring training games before opening day, it appeared as though McLanahan had another injury to his pitching arm.
During the third inning of a spring training game against the Boston Red Sox, the lefty fired a pitch and immediately showed pain and discomfort in his body language.
