The Yankees reassigned McClain to their minor-league camp Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
After finishing the 2021 campaign at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and attending camp as a non-roster invitee, McClain faced long odds to break camp with the Yankees. He didn't help his case for a spot in the Yankees' Opening Day bullpen by giving up five runs (four earned) on six hits and two walks across two innings in his two Grapefruit League appearances.

McClain was placed on the 7-day minor-league injured list for an unspecified reason Saturday, Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
McClain was unable to secure a spot in the Yankees' bullpen to begin the year but has been dominant at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The right-hander has posted a 1.71 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 52.2 innings across 32 appearances (one start) in the minors this year. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return.

McClain was reassigned to minor-league camp Friday.
EDGE Analysis
McClain had at least an outside shot at winning a bullpen spot, but he's not on the 40-man roster, so it's no surprise to see him fail to win a job. With a career 5.81 ERA in 26.1 big-league innings, he's likely in line for low-leverage work next time he makes it back to the majors.

McClain (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Thursday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
He has not pitched since the first series of the season due to the shoulder issue, but fortunately it was not a season ender. McClain should work in low-leverage spots going forward.

McClain was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday with right shoulder impingement, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
McClain spent the past several days on the paternity list, but he'll be sidelined longer due to a shoulder issue. The transaction is retroactive to Aug. 3, so the right-hander will be eligible to return as early as Aug. 14, when the team begins a series against the Mets. However, the severity of the injury is unclear, and the team hasn't announced when McClain could return. He had made just two relief appearances in low-leverage situations for Philadelphia to begin the season.

McClain was placed on the paternity list Monday, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
McClain appeared in two low-leverage situations for the Phillies over the start of the season, allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out zero over two innings. He'll now be unavailable for several days as he prepares for the birth of his child. Right-hander Enyel De Los Santos was recalled from the alternate training site to take his place.

McClain was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday and will be a part of the Phillies' Opening Day roster.
EDGE Analysis
McClain was claimed off waivers from the Mariners back in January. He failed to impress in his 21-inning debut for Seattle last season, struggling to a 6.00 ERA and an 11:13 K:BB, but he'll get another chance this year, presumably in a low-leverage relief role.

McClain was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
McClain, who was claimed off waivers in January, was never a favorite to break camp with the Phillies. In his first taste of big-league action with the Mariners last season, the righty posted a 6.00 ERA and 11:13 K:BB in 21 innings.
