After missing the entire season while recovering from a serious arm injury, Drew Rasmussen is back for the Tampa Bay Rays.
After missing more than a year's worth of action, Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Drew Rasmussen was re-instated from the 60-day injured list on Wednesday afternoon.Rasmussen is expected to vie for a spot in the Tampa Bay rotation in 2025, but he'll be operating as a reliever down the stretch of the current season while he makes his return from the internal brace procedure he underwent last July.
As per the note above, Rasmussen was throwing heat in his rehab outings. He pumped into the upper-90s on multiple occasions and should give the Rays a dynamic reliever for the rest of the year. If he's back in the rotation in 2025, he will join Shane McClanahan and Taj Bradley, which will make that group very strong once again.
The 29-year-old Rasmussen is 20-10 in his career with a 2.97 ERA. He's struck out 266 batters in 282.0 career innings. He was 4-2 through eight starts with the Rays in 2023 before getting injured and had pitched to a 2.62.Brady Farkas is a baseball writer for Fastball on Sports Illustrated/FanNation and the host of 'The Payoff Pitch' podcast which can be found on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
