Rays' Shane McClanahan throws off mound; timeline for return is forming
TAMPA —Shane McClanahan could be in line to rejoin the Rays rotation as soon as late July, baseball operations president Erik Neander told MLB Network Radio. McClanahan, 28, is back to full strength and throwing regularly in his return from a triceps nerve issue that has sidelined him since late in spring training. Advertisement McClanahan threw off the mound at a slightly shortened distance Tuesday. If he feels good on Friday, he will throw his first normal bullpen session. The two-time All-Star will have to work through a progression of mound sessions, then live batting practice and a series of rehab games likely starting in late June. 'Where does that lead?' Neander said. 'I think just building out if all goes as planned from this point, probably somewhere in late July or early August, fingers crossed and crossed and crossed. But he's doing well and finally into his formal throwing progression at this point.' McClanahan hasn't pitched in a regular season game since Aug. 2, 2023, sustaining an elbow injury that led to his second career Tommy John surgery. He rehabbed during the 2024 season, entered spring training healthy and pitched well until the nerve issue surfaced in his final start. Advertisement In news on other injured Rays: • Outfielder Jonny DeLuca will be shut down from baseball activities for three more weeks after a second setback in his recovery from the right shoulder strain that has sidelined him since early April. • Reliever Hunter Bigge is over the soreness from the right lat strain that landed him on the injured list in early May but remains shut down from throwing for now. • Infielder Ha-Seong Kim is continuing his rehab assignment as he recovers from right shoulder surgery. He went 2-for-16 in his first five games as the DH and playing second base. His first appearance at shortstop is set for this week. Advertisement • Infielder/outfielder Richie Palacios, who played only one mid-April game after returning from a broken right ring finger and then spraining his right knee, is 'doing well' and 'continuing to make progress' in drills, including baserunning and defense. A wet celebration How did Zack Littell's teammates celebrate his complete game Saturday, the first by a Rays pitcher in nearly four years? Stuffed into a laundry cart for a shower of beer and other liquids, typically the plan for a first win or first save. 'That was fun; you don't get to do many anymore,' Littell said. 'It was cold. It's nice being a little older. I can tell people, 'If you throw ketchup on me, we're going to fight,' which is good.' Rainy days and Wednesdays, Thursdays ... Rain is forecast to be an issue for much of this week's homestand, but manager Kevin Cash and several players said there isn't much they can do except be ready to play whenever the conditions are right. 'I don't think we can plan anything other than show up to the ballpark ready to play and then let MLB and people within stadium ops to handle some of those decisions,' Cash said.

Black Woman Was Refused Service Over ‘Revealing' Outfit. Now She's Suing Restaurant Alleging Discrimination
In a complaint, Y'Mine McClanahan claimed that Stab's Prime Steak and Seafood asked her to leave the restaurant due to the dress she wore McClanahan, who is Black, claimed the restaurant's white patrons and employees were dressed less appropriately than her during the 2024 incident "I left feeling kind of mortified, violated, ashamed and really humiliated because I had never had something happen like this to me as a working professional," she said, per the complaint A Black woman who alleged that she was refused service at a Baton Rouge, La., restaurant over a 'dress code violation' last year is now suing the establishment for discrimination. In a complaint filed with the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana on Friday, April 18 and reviewed by PEOPLE, Y'Mine McClanahan claimed that on July 23, 2024, Stab's Prime Steak and Seafood asked her to leave over the purported violation — even though the restaurant's white patrons and employees were dressed in similar fashion. 'I feel absolutely violated,' McClanahan told Fox affiliate WGMB about the alleged incident. Related: Starbucks Is Cracking Down on Its Dress Code amid Recent Changes to Enhance 'Coffeehouse Experience' Per the outlet, McClanahan, who wore a floral outfit with a skirt and a crop top to the restaurant, alleged that she was approached by a Stab's manager before she was seated. 'And I'm like, 'Excuse me, like, what's wrong with what I have on?' And she's like, 'Well, it's just too revealing,' ' McClanahan recalled. McClanahan told the outlet that when she explained to the manager that she had previously worn the same outfit at the restaurant and never experienced an issue, the manager allegedly responded by saying, 'Well you can go to your car and put a jacket on or you can find somewhere else to eat.' In the complaint, McClanahan, who was the vice president of the Baton Rouge chapter of the NAACP at the time, was shocked by being refused service since the restaurant's white patrons and employees "were dressed similarly."

It also asked patrons to not wear clothing items, such as gym wear, sweatpants and revealing clothing. 'Ms. McClanahan's outfit did not fall under any of the specifically banned items listed in the policy,' the complaint claimed while also citing photos of attire previously worn by Stab's patrons shared by the restaurant's social media account that McClanahan alleged was more revealing than what she wore. Per the complaint, McClanahan 'went to a nearby restaurant where she was not only served, but received several compliments on her outfit' after being refused service at Stab's. The alleged incident, according to the complaint, left her 'utterly humiliated by this act of discrimination,' while also claiming that "to be publicly discriminated against... was illegal."

In a statement to PEOPLE, McClanahan's attorneys said their client "decided to bring this lawsuit to ensure that selective enforcement of dress code policy and other forms of discrimination are not tolerated in restaurants and other public places."

'Contrary to reports, our attire policy is not new, it has been in effect for over three years now,' the restaurant continued. 'We spoke with a guest yesterday about her attire and she pointed out that we have waitstaff dressed in a manner that might not meet the standard of our attire policy. For the last several weeks we have actually been working on a different uniform, so that we are not asking a different standard for our customers than we are requiring of our staff.'

Former Baton Rouge NAACP leader sues Stab's Prime over alleged racial discrimination
BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — A Baton Rouge woman has filed a federal lawsuit against a local steakhouse, alleging she was denied service due to her race under the pretense of a dress code violation. According to court documents, Y'Mine McClanahan, then Vice President of the Baton Rouge Branch of the NAACP, visited Stab's Prime Steak and Seafood on July 23, 2024, wearing a floral crop top and ankle-length skirt. The lawsuit says she had worn the same outfit to the restaurant's sister location weeks earlier without issue. At the Jefferson Highway location, co-owner Dori Murvin allegedly refused to seat McClanahan, claiming her attire was 'too revealing' and did not meet the restaurant's business casual dress code. McClanahan's lawsuit accuses Stab's Prime of violating the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Louisiana's anti-discrimination laws. The complaint also claims negligence in how the dress code was applied. The lawsuit highlights alleged inconsistencies in how the policy was enforced, stating that several white patrons, employees, and even the co-owner herself wore outfits that either matched or violated the dress code. Photographs and screenshots included in the complaint show patrons and staff wearing shorts, tank tops, and revealing clothing, some of which were allegedly posted by the restaurant on social media. Seeking justice: NAACP members in Baton Rouge protest outside local steakhouse Stab's attire policy at the time barred 'gym wear, sweat pants, tank tops, clothing with offensive graphics or language, exposed undergarments or revealing clothing, cut-off shorts and flip-flops, and torn jeans.' The policy was reportedly updated after the incident to remove 'tank tops' from the banned list. The complaint alleges that the policy was selectively enforced and that McClanahan, who is Black, was treated differently from white guests and staff dressed in similar or more revealing clothing. McClanahan is seeking compensatory damages and declaratory relief. She told Louisiana First News in an earlier interview that the experience left her 'mortified, violated, ashamed and really humiliated.' Louisiana First News has reached out to Stab's Prime Steak and Seafood for comment on the lawsuit. In response to earlier coverage of the incident, the restaurant denied any wrongdoing and said its attire policy had been in effect for more than three years.

‘Too revealing.' Louisiana restaurant refuses to serve woman over outfit, suit says
A Louisiana woman is suing what used to be one of her favorite restaurants, saying she was refused service over an outfit she wore to the eatery in July. But she had on the same two-piece outfit — a floral strapless top and matching ankle-length skirt — when she dined at Stab's Prime Steak and Seafood in Baton Rouge two weeks earlier, according to her lawsuit filed April 18 in federal court. The venue is one of two Stab's locations in Baton Rouge. Y'Mine McClanahan still feels 'humiliated and ashamed' from when the steak house's co-owner publicly turned her away, telling her that her outfit was 'too revealing' on July 23, the complaint says. She was told by the co-owner that her outfit went against the Stab's 'business casual' dress code, according to the complaint. Part of the exchange was filmed by McClanahan, her attorneys wrote in the filing. At the time, McClanahan, a nurse who lives in Baton Rouge, was the vice president of the NAACP's local Baton Rouge chapter and had regularly dined at Stab's. Now she's an executive committee member of the Baton Rouge NAACP, her attorney said. McClanahan, who's Black, accuses the restaurant of having discriminatory, double standards in favor of white patrons when it comes to dress code enforcement because, according to her lawsuit, white patrons and employees have worn 'less appropriate attire.' Stab's didn't immediately return McClatchy News' request for comment April 23. McClanahan is represented by attorneys William Most and David Lanser, of Most & Associates in New Orleans. 'Ms. McClanahan decided to bring this lawsuit to ensure that selective enforcement of dress code policy and other forms of discrimination are not tolerated in restaurants and other public places,' Lanser said in an emailed statement to McClatchy News on April 23. McClanahan's lawsuit argues that white patrons and employees wore similar or 'even more revealing attire,' and were still seated by Stab's. The filing shows eight photos as examples, including five images of customers from the restaurant's social media page, according to McClanahan's attorneys. In one photo of an employee, a still image from a video McClanahan had recorded, a server is seen 'wearing fishnets and short-shorts,' the complaint says. McClanahan ultimately left Stab's and visited a different Baton Rouge restaurant, where she had a more positive experience following the 'extremely humiliating' denial of service on July 23, according to her lawsuit. At the restaurant, her attorneys wrote 'she was not only served, but received several compliments on her outfit.' Lawsuit asks for a jury trial McClanahan asks for a jury trial with her lawsuit and also seeks relief, a declaratory judgment and an unspecified amount in damages. She's suing Stab's on three causes of action: violations of Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a federal law that prohibits discrimination in public locations, violations of Louisiana state law and negligence. 'Stab's committed negligence in its failure to apply the dress code in an equitable and non-discriminatory fashion,' the lawsuit says.

‘Utterly humiliated' customer files suit against restaurant for giving her the boot over crop-top dress
A Louisiana nurse is suing a local restaurant for discrimination after she was refused service for allegedly violating its dress code in a floral crop top and ankle-length skirt. Y'Mine McClanhan, who is Black, was left feeling 'utterly humiliated' after the incident at Stab's Prime Steak and Seafood in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in July, her attorneys from Most & Associates wrote. A lawsuit filed in federal court last week stated that McClanahan had gone to the restaurant for lunch wearing the outfit, which cost $75 at H&M. She had worn it several times previously without issue. When she arrived, she was refused service, with an employee explaining that the outfit violated Stab's 'business casual' dress code. However, the suit states, McClanahan's outfit did not fall under any of the specifically banned items listed in the online policy. According to the suit, when she pushed further about the issue with her outfit, the restaurant's co-owner told her that her clothing was 'just too revealing at the top.' McClanhan was 'shocked' at the refusal of service, 'especially because white patrons and employees at Stab's were wearing less appropriate attire.' The lawsuit included pictures of various patrons – shared by Stab's on social media – who were dressed similarly or in a more revealing manner. A white waitress working on the day of the incident was also wearing fishnets and short-shorts, the suit notes. 'To be publicly discriminated against was extremely humiliating for Ms. McClanhan and, furthermore, it was illegal,' the filing states. 'After Ms. McClanahan left Stab's, she went to a nearby restaurant where she was not only served, but received several compliments on her outfit.' McClanahan was 'utterly humiliated by this act of discrimination,' the suit attorneys wrote that if it is proven that Stab's selectively applied the dress code because she is Black, the venue would have violated state law and the Civil Rights Act. They added that the restaurant would also be liable for negligence if it can be proven that staff failed to apply the dress code 'in an equitable and non-discriminatory fashion.' Speaking to WAFB News following the incident she said: 'I left feeling kind of mortified, violated, ashamed and really humiliated because I had never had something happen like this to me as a working professional. 'You feel alienated and it's like well what's wrong with me. What's the problem with me?'Despite several months having passed since the incident occurred, McClanahan continues to feel humiliated and ashamed 'as a result of the double-standard Stab's showed to her versus white patrons and employees,' the lawsuit states. McClanhan has requested a trial by jury and damages of an unspecified amount. In a statement issued to WAFB at the time of the incident, Stab's management said: 'We have a dress code policy that we ask our customers to observe. A few times a month we speak with our guests about their attire, including asking them to remove baseball hats in our restaurant. 'Contrary to reports, our attire policy is not new, it has been in effect for over three years now. We spoke with a guest yesterday about her attire and she pointed out that we have waitstaff dressed in a manner that might not meet the standard of our attire policy. 'For the last several weeks, we have actually been working on a different uniform so that we are not asking a different standard for our customers than we are requiring of our staff.'
