2025 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Full-intensity bullpen on tap
McClanahan (triceps) is scheduled to throw a full-intensity bullpen session Tuesday, MLB.com reports.
Analysis
McClanahan was shut down briefly as he battles through a nerve issue in his pitching arm, but he received the go-ahead from Dr. Gregory J. Pearl on June 17 to resume throwing and will take another step in his progression Tuesday. The hope is that McClanahan will be ready to rejoin the Rays' rotation sometime in August, but he has numerous boxes to check before that can become a reality.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020
You should proceed with the expectation that McClanahan is unlikely to pitch in 2024. He had his second career TJ surgery on August 21st which ended a season that had him in considering for the Cy Young at the break. We do not even have to look too hard for a potential timeline to back up our original statement because this is nearly the same situation Tyler Glasnow went through two years ago. He had TJ surgery on 8/4/21 and returned to throw all of six innings in September of 2022. McClanahan had his surgery more than two weeks later than Glasnow's August date, so the best case scenario is the Rays make it back to the postseason and McClanahan can contribute there in some capacity. The most realistic outcome is he does not throw a pitch in the regular season, so keeper league managers can look to purchase him in the end game at a discount and wait until 2025 for the return on investment.
