Rest-of-Season Projections
2026 Fantasy Outlook
It has now been two full seasons and two surgeries since McClanahan last threw a major league pitch. He left the mound in August of 2023 in the midst of a strong outing against the Yankees as a cautionary move, yet it was the last pitch he has thrown in a regular-season game. He had Tommy John surgery in 2023, and in spring of 2025 McClanahan suffered a freak nerve injury in his final outing in the Grapefruit League. Efforts to rest and rehab the issue were not successful, and McClanahan succumbed to an August 2025 surgery to correct the nerve issue in his elbow. The team has already said they expect him to be all systems go for 2026, but go back and read the same comment from last year's outlook, as the team thought the exact same thing. McClanahan could come out of the gate hot, but what can we honestly expect workload-wise from someone who last threw a regular season pitch on August 2, 2023? He is all risk-reward for 2026, as McClanahan's acquisition costs have never been this low, but his value in mixed leagues will likely be severely limited by workload issues should he avoid further complications.

Signed a one-year, $3.6 million contract with the Rays in December of 2025.
Earns first win of 2026
McClanahan (1-1) was credited with the win against the White Sox on Tuesday, allowing three runs (two earned) on two hits and four walks while striking out four across five innings.
Analysis
All of the runs McClanahan gave up came in the third inning on a three-run homer from Everson Pereira, though the former ended his outing strongly by retiring the final seven batters he faced. It was the first time this season that McClanahan completed the fifth inning, and he received enough run support from his teammates to come away with his first win of 2026. Through three starts, he has a 3.95 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 13:11 K:BB across 13.2 innings. McClanahan's next start is slated for this weekend on the road against the Pirates.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
2022
2021
2020
McClanahan never did pitch in 2024 as he continued his recovery from Tommy John surgery on Aug. 21, 2023. The only realistic chance McClanahan had of pitching in 2024 would have been similar to Tyler Glasnow's role in 2022, but the team was never in serious postseason contention as the summer wore on. McClanahan should be all systems go for the 2025 season but it is very likely the club will be conservative with his workload as he returns from his second career TJS. McClanahan's own pitching habits will likely do that anyhow, as pitch efficiency was not exactly a strength of his even before the long layoff. Every pitcher who comes back from a second Tommy John surgery has a different path, and few are as young as McClanahan (27) or as dominant prior to their second procedure. Jameson Taillon has had a good second act of his career, although he was never as good as McClanahan, while Walker Buehler showcased the potential downside in investing in such a pitcher this past season.
