Notches seventh win McClanahan (7-5) earned the win Wednesday over the Royals, allowing three hits and no walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out four.

Impact McClanahan certainly appeared to benefit from the extra rest he got after Tampa Bay elected to skip his last turn in the rotation. The southpaw was excellent, as he blanked Kansas City to earn his first win since May 31. McClanahan turned the page on a rough month of June, where he went 0-3 with a 5.79 ERA across four starts (18.2 innings). His ERA now sits at 3.05 through 16 starts (79.2 innings) this season with a 1.17 WHIP and 77:28 K:BB. McClanahan is tentatively lined up to face the Yankees at home his next time out.

Back in rotation Wednesday McClanahan is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Royals in Kansas City, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact McClanahan will return to the bump on seven days' rest, after the Rays elected to skip his turn through the rotation last week in an effort to monitor his workload coming off two seasons that were essentially wiped out due to injury. The 29-year-old has thus far been a picture of health in 2026, though he had seen his effectiveness wane over his four June starts (5.79 ERA, 1.82 WHIP in 18.2 innings). The Rays are hoping that the extra rest will allow McClanahan to deliver a bounce-back performance Wednesday, when he'll be taking on a banged-up Royals lineup that could be without one of its hotter hitters in Jac Caglianone (groin).

Impact After not pitching at the big-league level either of the previous two seasons while recovering from August 2023 Tommy John surgery and then a nerve issue in his elbow that cropped up last spring and needed to be addressed with another procedure in August, McClanahan has staged a healthy and successful comeback in 2026. He's yet to spend any time on the shelf this season and has posted a 3.30 ERA and 1.22 WHIP over 73.2 innings, but McClanahan was shown some signs of wearing down of late. In his last four starts, McClanahan has gone 0-3 while yielding 16 runs (12 earned) on 25 hits and nine walks across 18.2 frames. The Rays seem confident that no injury is behind his recent struggles, but McClanahan will nonetheless get some extended rest ahead of his next start while the team adds a temporary replacement into the rotation Saturday.

Jac Caglianone continues tear with 2 homers and 3 RBIs as the Royals beat the Rays 12-5

Tampa Bay native Jac Caglianone continued his hot June by homering twice and driving in three runs in the Kansas City Royals’ 12-5 victory over the reeling Rays on Tuesday night

Allows three homers in loss McClanahan (6-5) took the loss against the Royals on Tuesday, allowing six runs (two earned) on six hits and one walk with four strikeouts over six innings.

Impact It was an odd game for McClanahan, who logged just his second quality start of the campaign while also allowing multiple homers in a game for the first time. It continued a rough June for the 29-year-old, who's now 0-3 with a 5.79 ERA through four starts this month. He owns a 3.30 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 73:28 K:BB across 73.2 innings on the year and lines up for a home matchup with the Diamondbacks this weekend.

Another early hook in no-decision McClanahan did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Dodgers, allowing two runs on three hits and five walks with three strikeouts over 3.2 innings.

Impact McClanahan unraveled in the fourth, allowing five baserunners and two runs before exiting with two outs in the frame. The southpaw issued a season-high five walks and has now failed to pitch beyond the fourth inning in back-to-back outings while yielding 10 earned runs across three June starts. He still owns a solid 3.33 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 69:27 K:BB over 67.2 innings this season and will try to rebound in a home matchup against the Royals next week.

Goes just four innings in loss McClanahan (6-4) allowed four runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out seven over four innings to take the loss versus the Angels on Friday.

Impact McClanahan failed to reach the five-inning mark for the first time since April 19 versus the Pirates. The southpaw has had some spotty performances lately, allowing four runs in three of his last five outings. In that span, he's given up a total of 13 runs across 24.1 innings. On a positive note, he matched his season high with seven strikeouts Friday. He's now at a 3.23 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 66:22 K:BB across 64 innings over 13 starts. McClanahan is projected to make his next start on the road versus the Dodgers, which may be a matchup for fantasy managers to avoid given his recent inconsistency.

Struggles in third loss McClanahan (6-3) took the loss Saturday against Miami, allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out six.

Impact McClanahan tossed at least five innings in his eighth consecutive start, but he did tie season worsts in both runs and hits allowed Saturday. The 29-year-old left-hander had given up one run or zero in six of his previous seven outings, so Saturday represented a rare letdown of sorts. McClanahan will bring a strong 2.85 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 59:21 K:BB over 60 innings into his next scheduled appearance on the road against the Angels.
