Latest Update on Rays\u2019 Ace"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The Tampa Bay Rays are bracing for the absence of their ace to start the season, but the latest injury update on Shane McClanahan brings a sigh of relief.<\/p><p>McClanahan, 27, left Saturday&rsquo;s exhibition game against the Boston Red Sox in Port Charlotte with noticeable discomfort after a pitch. Given that he missed the entire 2024 season following Tommy John surgery, his abrupt exit immediately raised concerns. However, evaluations on Sunday confirmed that the left-hander is dealing with nerve irritation in his triceps area, an issue unrelated to his previous elbow surgery.<\/p><p>The good news however is that there are no signs of muscle tears or structural damage, giving the Rays hope that this is only a temporary setback.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Tampa Bay Rays ace Shane McClanahan has an inflamed nerve in his left triceps, manager Kevin Cash said. Of all the potential outcomes after he left yesterday's game in pain, this is perhaps the best-case scenario.

He followed that up with an 11-2 campaign in 2023 before undergoing surgery that ended his season prematurely.<\/p><p>The Rays open their 2025 campaign on Friday against the Colorado Rockies, but they&rsquo;ll have to do so without their ace, at least for now.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The news is as good as the Rays could have hoped for<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":32569,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mux_skip_reasons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[2380,54,153],"class_list":["post-32562","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-injury-update","tag-mlb","tag-tampa-bay-rays"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Shane McClanahan Injury Update: What Happened to Shane McClanahan?
