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.

Shane McClanahan surrenders two runs in loss to Astros

Shane McClanahan allowed two runs, five hits, and one walk over five innings of work against the Astros on Saturday. He struck out just two batters and was charged with the loss as Tampa Bay fell to Houston by a score of 2-1.

Fantasy Impact

McClanahan was an All-Star and potential Cy Young candidate earlier in the year, but he has struggled to the tune of 11 earned runs, 4.50 K/9, and 4.50 BB/9 over his last three games (14 innings). Whether his struggles should be blamed on his recent IL stint or something else, McClanahan is still the Rays' ace and should have another great season in 2023.
