In this MLB season, the AL East division has become a center of attraction. Much of it is because of the poor performances of the New York Yankees amidst all the hype and promises. They have failed to strike the right cords and are last in the division. Because of it, the Baltimore Orioles have become the front runner, bringing in tough competition for the top spot with the Tampa Bay Rays fighting back. But it seems the shadows of Yankees troubles have struck the Rays.

Given that it is a crucial period of the season and any disruption, could create a problem for any team. The same has happened with the Yankees, who have struggled on the mound because of the injuries. And the Rays could be the next on the list with a similar problem to contend with in their battle for the division championship. According to the latest report, they have lost Shane McClanahan because of an injury. The update is a tremendous blow for them. And has saddened the MLB world, who have responded with prayers reacting to it.

Shane McClanahan could be out until the end of 2024?

Due to the physical nature of baseball, injuries have become a part of it. But sometimes, they create a bigger problem for the players and the teams. The Yankees are experiencing it with Carlos Rodon, and the Shane McClanahan of the Rays has become the latest addition. He will have Tommy John surgery next week after suffering an injury in his left forearm. Shane is expected to be out for this season. But the reports also suggest that his absence could extend to the end of the 2024 season.
