Cash said Tommy John surgery is among the options under consideration.
McClanahan, 11-2, left his last start on Aug. 2 in New York against the Yankees with tightness in his left forearm. He pitched four innings and gave up five runs. The 26-year-old has pitched five innings or less in five of his last six starts.
McClanahan is scheduled to be examined by Dr. Keith Meister on Monday.
