Rays Place McClanahan on IL with Back Tightness

The Rays called up right-hander Alex Cook from Triple-A Durham to replace McClanahan. Cook has a 3.78 ERA in Triple-A this season but is expected to provide bullpen depth rather than fill McClanahan's rotation spot. blablasex.es

McClanahan, who has a 3.09 ERA this season, has a history of injuries including Tommy John surgery in 2023 and triceps nerve irritation surgery last August. The Rays might explore trades before the August 3 deadline, with Detroit's Tarik Skubal and New York's Freddy Peralta mentioned as possibilities.
