MIAMI (AP) — The Tampa Bay Rays have placed ace left-hander Shane McClanahan on the 15-day injured list because of a left shoulder impingement. McClanahan was a late scratch from Tampa Bay’s 7-2 win over the Miami Marlins on Tuesday. Manager Kevin Cash says imaging of the injury indicates a “best-case scenario” and he doesn’t expect McClanahan to miss extended time. The Rays also placed second baseman Brandon Lowe on the 10-day IL with a right triceps contusion. Lowe hasn’t played since being hit by a pitch against the Red Sox on Aug 26.
