Drew Rasmussen News
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Drew Rasmussen (elbow) will undergo an internal brace procedure and won't return until the middle of next season. The organization was hopeful that Rasmussen could make a return this season. The right-hander has been sidelined since the middle of May due to a right flexor strain. He will avoid Tommy John surgery, but will still undergo a similar surgery. The recovery time for this surgery is slightly shorter, but Rasmussen still won't pitch until at least mid-season in 2024.
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Drew Rasmussen (elbow) has been placed on the 60-day injured list. This is shocking news after Rasmussen seemed fine after throwing seven scoreless innings on Thursday. The Rays have already placed Rasmussen on the 60-day injured list, which is never a good sign. Team president of baseball operations Erik Neander said they plan to shut down Rasmussen from throwing for eight weeks. Possibly, Rasmussen is heading in the same direction as fellow teammate Jeffrey Springs, who recently had Tommy John surgery. The loss of Rasmussen is obviously a big blow to both fantasy managers and the Rays rotation. Hopefully, the right-hander hasn't suffered a season-ending injury.
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Drew Rasmussen had a fantastic start on Thursday, shutting down the New York Yankees in an 8-2 win. Rasmussen threw seven solid frames, allowing just two hits and no walks while striking out seven. He probably could've gone further, as he threw just 76 pitches, but we all know how the Rays operate by now. It was the second scoreless outing in a row for the 27-year-old after going through a bit of a rough patch in mid-late April. He is now 4-2 with a 2.62 ERA and 1.05 WHIP, and he has a 47:11 K:BB ratio over 44 IP. He pitches for a great team and has been fairly dependable so far, but he might not earn the number of wins you'd expect since he doesn't often go far into games. He's still a very good fantasy option, though.

Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Drew Rasmussen took a considerable step forward, transitioning from a reliever to a full-time starter in 2022. He owned an 11-4 record with a 2.84 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and a 125:38 K: BB across 146 innings. His K% dropped from 23.8% in 2021 to 21.4% in 2022, but his swinging strike rate of 12.1% suggests an uptick in strikeouts in 2023. Rasmussen is slotted to be third in the starting rotation behind Shane McClanahan and Tyler Glasnow. The 27-year-old appears to be a legitimate breakout and has the upside to be a top-30 starter if he racks up a few more starts. Rasmussen had great control over his pitches, evidenced by his 5.3 BB%, which was in the 88th percentile per Baseball Savant. ATC projections are on board, with the Rays right-hander posting another solid season, projecting Rasmussen with a 3.58 ERA, 3.69 FIP, and an 8.03 K:9 across 161 innings in 2023. Rasmussen could be a tremendous bargain at his current NFBC ADP of 178 and should provide fantasy managers with solid totals all around.
