80-82 · 4TH IN AL EAST
Mariners, Rays American League Best Bets for August 2 There are multiple games today beginning this evening on the American League schedule, and there's value to target in these spots.
Brendan McKay - Shifts rehab to Single-A McKay (shoulder) is scheduled to make a rehab appearance Tuesday for Single-A Charleston.
Impact McKay will move his rehab assignment up a rung on the minor-league ladder after he made his first two appearances of 2022 with the Rays' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate last week. He covered 2.2 innings in those outings, giving up an earned run on four hits and one walk while striking out three. The lefty is expected to need most of the 30-day rehab window to get stretched back out after he missed most of the 2020 and 2021 campaigns while recovering from injuries, and once he's activated from the 60-day injured list, McKay is likely to be optioned to Triple-A Durham.

Yonny Chirinos - Moving rehab to Single-A Chirinos (elbow) is scheduled to make a rehab appearance Tuesday for Single-A Charleston.
Impact He had his rehab assignment transferred over from the Rays' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate, with whom he recently made three appearances and struck out three over four scoreless innings. He's working his way back from the surgery he underwent last fall on his fractured right elbow, a procedure that was proceeded by August 2020 Tommy John surgery. Chirinos will likely need the full 30-day rehab window to get stretched out before the Rays activate him from the 60-day injured list.

Shane McClanahan - Worst start of 2022 McClanahan (10-4) allowed five runs on seven hits, three walks and a hit batsman while striking out four in 4.1 innings, taking the loss Sunday versus the Guardians.
Impact McClanahan's five runs allowed were a season high, and he matched his season low for innings pitched. The Guardians built rallies against the southpaw in the second and fifth innings, with a two-run Austin Hedges single in the fifth off reliever Ryan Thompson adding the last damage to McClanahan's line. The good news is this has been a rarity for the 25-year-old -- he's given up three or more runs only four times in 20 starts, and he'd rattled off 13 quality starts in a row entering Sunday. He owns a 2.07 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 158:23 K:BB in 122 innings, just 1.1 frames shy of his rookie-season mark. He's on track for a favorable road start in Detroit next weekend.
