| Shane McClanahan allowed just one walk and four hits while tossing six shutout innings against the Tigers on Thursday. He also struck out six batters and earned the win as Tampa Bay ultimately defeated Detroit by a score of 4-0. Andersen Pickard Thu, Mar 30th | ||
| Shane McClanahan will start on the mound for the Tampa Bay Rays against the Detroit Tigers according to Rays manager Kevin Cash. Chris Schommer Fri, Mar 24th | ||
| Notes | ||
| Two IL stints in 2022 are the only thing suppressing McClanahan's draft value in 2023. The 25-year-old pitched 166 1/3 innings, struck out 194 batters, and blessed fantasy managers with a 2.54 ERA and 0.93 WHIP. His Statcast page could be the official symbol of Valentine's Day, with the only non-red stat being his fastball spin rate. Because it's the Rays, it's hard to predict how many innings or how deep into ball games they will let him go, but as long as he is healthy, he could anchor a fantasy staff coming out of the fourth or fifth round. Expect a little over 10.0 K/9, an ERA closer to 3, a microscopic WHIP from the third-year player, and the latest entry into the Tampa Bay pitching echelon. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros | Emmanuel Clase led MLB with 42 saves last season, cementing his status as an elite closer and giving fantasy managers a reason to pay for saves in 2023. He pitched 72 2/3 innings, striking out 77, and maintaining a microscopic 1.36 ERA and 0.73 WHIP. He is in the 90th percentile and above in nine of 12 categories on Statcast, and even some slight regression in his overall numbers still leaves him in "elite" territory. Clase will turn 25 before the season and is locked into the closer role in Cleveland, making him and Edwin Diaz the clear top two at the position heading into 2023. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros | |
