McClanahan (1-2) took the loss Sunday against the Pirates, allowing four runs on eight hits and no walks in 4.1 innings. He struck out five. While he did keep the ball in the yard Sunday, McClanahan was touched up for a season-high eight knocks and a season-worst four runs allowed. It was encouraging to see the left-hander throw a season-high 90 pitches, but he's still yet to work past the fifth inning in any of his first four starts of 2026. Although he boasts an excellent .191 opponent batting average over 18 frames so far this year, McClanahan will be looking to improve upon his 5.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 18:11 K:BB his next time out versus the Twins.

Shane McClanahan: Breaking News
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. 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.
Leaves with lead in no-decision
McClanahan took a no-decision Monday against the Cubs, allowing two runs on one hit and four walks while striking out five in four innings of work. McClanahan left the game with the lead, but he didn't make it the requisite five innings in order to qualify for the win. That might be a commonality for a little while longer as the left-hander continues to build back up after two full seasons on the shelf. Through two starts and 8.2 innings pitched, he has walked seven batters while striking out just five, but he has surrendered just four runs. The 28-year-old is scheduled to take the mound next Sunday against the Yankees.
