All-star Shane McClanahan is set to miss the rest of the season

Awful news for Tampa Bay Rays came up on Tuesday as their All-Star left-hander Shane McClanahan is most likely going to miss the rest of the season in MLB.

Rays manager Kevin Cash confirmed before last night’s game against the St. Louis Cardinals that McClanahan will undergo evaluation of his arm problem very soon, but as of now things are not looking good and it is “highy unlikely” that he will pitch again this season.

Cash said Tommy John surgery, flexor surgery or loose body removal are among the options under consideration.

“Less than ideal news,” Cash said, “I think at this point probably everything is on the table. Surgery is certainly an option.”, he said.
