Drew Rasmussen Won't Start In Game 162
2 years agoThe Tampa Bay Rays announced that right-hander Drew Rasmussen won't make the start in Game 162 of the regular season on Wednesday against the Boston Red Sox, and they will announce a starter after their game on Tuesday. With the Rays already locked into a wild-card spot in the American League, they have decided to save the 27-year-old for the postseason this weekend. Rasmussen has been excellent in his first full season for Tampa, going 11-7 with a 2.84 ERA (3.25 FIP), a 1.04 WHIP and a 125:31 K:BB in 146 innings pitched over 28 starts. He allowed 11 earned runs on 26 hits while walking four and striking out 22 in 29 1/3 frames in his final five starts of the 2022 regular season.
