7/08/23 Rays starting pitcher Drew Rasmussen needs a third elbow surgery. Rasmussen's surgery is scheduled for July 24, and the procedure will be done by Dr. Keith Meister, Rays manager Kevin Cash said before Saturday’s game against the Atlanta Braves. Rasmussen, who has been on the 60-day injured list with what was called a right elbow flexor strain since May 12, previously had Tommy John surgery in March 2016 and August 2017.

5/16/23 Why Rays' upcoming homestand will be full of warm fuzzies. When the Rays escape from New York late Thursday afternoon, they will have completed their longest road trip of the season, an 11-day journey marked by tense games, the pain of Drew Rasmussen's injury and extensive roster shuffling. When they return to Tropicana Field on Friday with the majors' best record, they will open the longest homestand of the season, a 10-game run that, regardless of the outcomes, will be filled with tight hugs, warm fuzzies and good memories. Fitting with the nostalgic theme of the Rays' 25th-anniversary season, the upcoming visits by the Brewers, Blue Jays and Dodgers will bring back some players and staff who played significant roles on the field and off in the franchise's success.

5/13/23 Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Cedric Mullins hits for the cycle. It was a tough day for the Rays on multiple fronts. First, they lost starter Drew Rasmussen to the 60-day IL due to a flexor strain. Then, they squandered multiple leads in Bronx to miss out on an opportunity to keep the Yankees entrenched in the AL East cellar. To be clear, the Yankees are still last in the East, but after a big win last night against a serious opponent, maybe things are looking up?

5/12/23 Drew Rasmussen out indefinitely with flexor strain. The Tampa Bay Rays have placed right-handed pitcher Drew Rasmussen on the 60-day IL with a flexor strain. A shocking development as Rasmussen had just delivered one of the best outings of his career on Thursday in New York when he shutdown the Yankees over seven innings, holding their lineup to just two basehits while he racked up seven strikeouts and walked none. Overall in 2023, Rasmussen has compiled a 2.62 ERA | 2.59 FIP with a 26.6 K% and 6.2 BB% across 44 2/3 innings pitched. Rasmussen has already undergone Tommy John surgery twice, with the procedure first being performed during his college days in 2017 and then once again while rehabbing from the surgery the following year.

4/30/23 White Sox 12, Rays 9: What?. The Chicago White Sox have WON! The White Sox got the early lead in the bottom of the first with Drew Rasmussen on the mound after to back-to-back singles from Adam Haseley and Andrew Vaughn, which led to a Gavin Sheets sacrifice fly. The Rays went without a run until the top of the fourth, although we knew they'd put runs on the board, eventually. Of course it happened in their usual home-run fashion, as Taylor Walls drove one out to right field to tie the game.

3/03/23 Why Rays' Drew Rasmussen will slow down this spring. Drew Rasmussen was not going to risk a pitching clock violation. The Rays' breakout pitching star of 2022 decided before his first spring start Friday that he would work as fast as he could initially, then learn how to manage the clock from there. “I think it'd be easier to go as fast as possible and know that you have the ability to slow down as opposed to using as much of the clock as possible and then having to speed up as spring goes on,” Rasmussen said of the new pitch timer. Rasmussen allowed three runs, all earned, on three hits Friday.

10/01/22 Rays clinch AL wild-card spot; Astros get AL home-field edge.

HOUSTON (AP) — The Tampa Bay Rays and Houston Astros both had reasons to like how things turned out Friday night.

Drew Rasmussen and the Rays were the only ones celebrating, however.

Rasmussen pitched seven effective innings and the Rays clinched a playoff spot for the fourth straight season, posing on the field for a team picture after beating Houston 7-3. Despite the loss, the Astros wound up with home-field advantage throughout the AL playoffs.

The Rays (86-71) began the day in the third and final AL wild-card slot, trailing Toronto and Seattle.

Tampa Bay extended the longest postseason streak in franchise history and earned a playoff spot for the eighth time, all since 2008. The Rays have never won the World Series.

“They’ve withstood some bad news and some bad performances, but they’ve come out on top with some really good performances to stay afloat here,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said. “It feels like right now, we’re coming into our own a little bit. These guys are still young, and we’re getting a taste of some really cool stuff.”

Houston (102-55) was assured home-field advantage throughout the AL playoffs when the New York Yankees lost earlier in the day. Only the Los Angeles Dodgers have a better record than the Astros.

“It’s hard to celebrate when you feel the pain of losing,” Astros manager Dusty Baker said. “We’ll worry about that later.”

Rasmussen (11-7) held Houston to two runs and five hits in seven innings. He entered Friday riding a three-game losing streak, the longest of his career.

“I had a really bad outing against these guys the other day, so to be able to come back and attack the strike zone like I know how to and get quick outs and allow the defense to play was absolutely incredible,” Rasmussen...
