McClanahan Faces Live Hitters, Progressing from Triceps Surgery

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Shane McClanahan (triceps) threw live batting practice Saturday, marking his first time facing hitters since July and subsequent season-ending surgery. The 28-year-old southpaw's session involved 16 pitches at approximately 80 percent intensity, signaling a significant step forward in his recovery process. This is a positive sign for his return to full strength, as he continues to work back from the injury.
