Rays manager: Shane McClanahans return this season highly unlikely [AUHN9PGV2xf]
A season that started off as a dream for Tampa Bay Rays starter Shane McClanahan may now be heading toward a nightmare scenario. On Tuesday, Rays manager Kevin Cash dropped the unwelcomed news that the All-Star is “highly unlikely” to return this season, adding that “all options are on the table.” The left-hander landed on the 15-day injured list for the second time this season after leaving a start earlier this month against the New York Yankees with left forearm tightness. McClanahan (11-2) is 0-1 in six starts since his last win on June 16, leaving starts on June 22 and 30 due to mid-back tightness that eventually forced him onto the 15-day IL on July 1. He returned July 17 and went six innings against Texas before lasting just four, five and four innings in his next three starts. For more: ►Subscribe: ►Website: ►Facebook: ►Twitter:
