Drew Rasmussen allowed one run — zero earned — over two innings on Wednesday in a no-decision against the Mariners.
Rasmussen struck out two and required just 26 pitches (16 strikes) to navigate a pair of frames. The -year-old righty committed a throwing error on Randy Arozarena’s infield single to open the second inning, which wound up leading to the lone tally against him later in the frame on a Luke Raley sacrifice fly. He’s been an unexpected revelation for Tampa Bay since returning from last year’s Tommy John surgery, posting a strong 2.25 WRA, 1.08 WHIP and 16/3 K/BB ratio across 12 innings (seven appearances, three starts). He’s at least worthy of a speculative roster spot in deeper mixed leagues as a ratio booster.
