Biggest question entering Opening Day: What can Tampa Bay get from Shane McClanahan? In his first three major league seasons from 2021-23, McClanahan was exceptional on the mound, posting a 33-16 record and 3.02 ERA across 74 starts. But he hasn’t pitched in a regular-season game since August 2023, missing 2024 after undergoing Tommy John surgery and sitting out 2025 with a nerve injury in his left arm. He returned to the mound this spring and has looked good. A return to form for the southpaw ace feels like a requirement for the Rays to keep up in a brutally talented division as the team returns to Tropicana Field after playing elsewhere in the city last season due to damage caused by Hurricane Milton.
