Shane McClanahan has been sidelined the entire season by a triceps nerve injury that arose during spring training. This last song contributed to what was already an extensive absence for the left-handed after Tommy John Surgery in August 2023, and it is now more than two years ago that McClanahan threw his last throw in a Major League match.
Rays President of Baseball Operations Erik Neander gave a sobering update about the status of McClanahan during a radio performance on WDAe on Friday (hat tip Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times), and the lack of new information gives new doubt that we will see McClanahan in action this year. The Southpaw still has to do with “Persistent symptoms“According to Neander, and is”don’t get over the bump“In terms of readyness.
‘No huge setbacks, but also no enormous progress or breakthroughs. The clock clearly ticks this point while we are sitting here today … we don’t get the progress that we or certainly hope for. Really a pity. But we have to do what is best for him and take care of him and try to stay as well as possible. “
It seemed that McClanahan was on his way to recovery when he started a Minor League rehabilitation assignment in July, but after three outings he was closed because of biceps tenditis. Tampa Bay Manager Kevin Cash told Mlb.com and other reporters on July 28 that McClanahan ““Felt okay, nothing great“After a catch match from a distance of 60 feet.
Neander did not mention the biceps problem, so it seems that that injury has been resolved. The persistent nerve problem “Is still just enough in the game. This is a new one for all of us real, and in many greetings to the baseball community. So we learn when we go. “
Selected 31st General by the Rays in the design of 2018, McClanahan placed an ERA of 3.02, 46.8% grounder percentage, 28% strikeout percentage and 7.1% running speed over 404 2/3 innings during the 2021-23 seasons. After voting in Al Rookie of the year in 2021, McClanahan followed with a sixth place in Al Cy Young Award voice in 2022, and he was appointed as the All-Star grid in both 2022 and 2023. Because of all the performances it seemed that McClanahan was suddenly on his career.
As Neander noted, McClanahan does not have much time left before the season is over. Het onduidelijke karakter van zenuwletsels betekent dat McClanahan morgen technisch wakker zou kunnen worden en zich goed kan voelen, maar het kan zo’n plotselinge ommekeer nodig hebben om de lefty een kans te geven bij een terugkeer van 2025. Gezien het feit dat hij nog steeds beperkt is tot licht gooien, zou McClanahan nog steeds minstens een maand nodig hebben voor een volledige gooiprogressie (dwz bullpen -sessies, live batting -oefeningen And several Minor League rehabilitation matches) that would bring him back to gamegereedheid.
If he is physically capable, it would return, even for one appearance with the rays, McClanahan certainly give a peace of mind on the way to low season. Building up enough arm power to return if a reliever would not take as long if it would take you to prepare for the workload of a starter, so a temporary step to the bull pen may be possible if McClanahan just wants to pitch in any capacity. On the other hand, Tampa Bay can choose to simply close it if the timeline is compressed, because the 57-62 rays are only on the edge of the Wild Card Race and will probably not play meaningful games at the end of September.
