The left-hander took an MLB mound Tuesday for the first time since August of 2023 after missing the past two seasons while recovering from Tommy John surgery and a subsequent nerve issue. McClanahan kept the Brewers off the board through four frames but was unable to escape the fifth, giving up three runs on two hits, two walks and an error. The 28-year-old threw 50 of 79 pitches for strikes and averaged 95.4 mph with his fastball, which is a tick slower than his 2023 velocity but is still an encouraging figure in his first start back, especially given that he topped out at 97.4 mph. A home matchup with the Cubs is likely on deck for McClanahan early next week.
