The Tampa Bay Rays will be without two of their main contributors for at least the next two weeks as they have placed LHP Shane McClanahan and 2B Brandon Lowe on the 15-day and 10-day IL respectively.
Losing both players at the same time could possibly be extremely detrimental to the Rays, who have already suffered greatly from the injury bug this season. McClanahan at one time was looking like the favorite for the American League Cy Young and although Brandon Lowe hasn’t provided the offensive punch that he has in season’s past, he still is a force in the middle of the Rays lineup.
