Drew Rasmussen
SP - Tampa Bay Rays - IL60
Roster %
Eligibility
The Rays placed Drew Rasmussen on the 60-day injured list.
Fantasy Impact
This move was made to make room for the addition of Amed Rosario. Rasmussen is expected to miss the majority, if not the whole season after undergoing surgery to repair the UCL in his right elbow last July.
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Drew Rasmussen is expected to return sometime late in the 2024 season.
Fantasy Impact
The timetable isn't clear but Rays general manager Erik Neander said Rasmussen will return after fellow Tommy John recipient Jeffrey Springs who is expected to return sometime in July or August. The right-hander worked to a healthy 2.62 ERA across eight starts in the 2023 season after breaking out with a 2.84 ERA across 28 starts in the 2022 season.
Drew Rasmussen signed a one-year deal worth $1.8 million with the Rays to avoid arbitration.
Fantasy Impact
Rasmussen is still recovering from UCL surgery he underwent in July. He figures to miss most, if not all of this season as a result.
Drew Rasmussen will undergo elbow surgery and will be out until the middle of the 2024 season.
Fantasy Impact
Rasmussen will have an internal brace procedure done that will take care of the right flexor injury he suffered in May. The 27-year-old has previously had Tommy John surgery twice, so the team will likely monitor his recovery closely next season.
Drew Rasmussen has been placed on the 60-day IL due to a flexor strain.
Fantasy Impact
Rasmussen dominated in his last start vs the Yankees but was taken out of the game after just 76 pitches. There was no word of an injury at the time, but it's possible he was injured at some point in the game. The extent of the injury is unknown at the moment, but he is obviously going to be out for at least two months.
