Rays manager Kevin Cash told reporters Tueaday that Shane McClanahan (triceps) will not make his next minor league rehab start due to biceps soreness.
Cash clarified that McClanahan is being pulled back temporarily due to fatigue — not a recurrence of the triceps issue that sidelined him at the end of spring training. The 28-year-old former fantasy ace experienced diminished velocity in his most recent rehab outing last Friday for Triple-A Durham and later voiced frustration with his recovery process on social media, while reiterating his desire to make it back quickly. With the clock ticking, McClanahan needs to start showing tangible progress soon if he hopes to pitch for Tampa Bay this season.
