Rays Confident Shane McClanahan Will Pitch July 16
1 year agoTampa Bay Rays left-hander Shane McClanahan (back) threw in the outfield on Thursday before the game against the Philadelphia Phillies, and manager Kevin Cash said the team is very confident that McClanahan will be ready to return to the starting rotation on Sunday, July 16, against the Kansas City Royals. The 26-year-old southpaw last pitched on June 30 and allowed a season-high-tying four runs in just three innings while being pulled early for the second straight start due to back tightness. Currently on the 15-day injured list, McClanahan is expected to be activated just after next week's All-Star break to start the series finale against the Royals. There will be more risk involved, but McClanahan is a no-doubt fantasy ace when he's healthy, and it will also be a mouthwatering matchup.
