Rays lose RHP Drew Rasmussen to 60-day IL with flexor strain.

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Drew Rasmussen has been placed on the 60-day injured list due to a flexor strain, which could potentially end his season and take him out for all of 2024 if he requires a third Tommy John surgery. The Rays have the best record in baseball, but have already lost key pitchers Jeffrey Springs and Pete Fairbanks to injury. Rasmussen has been a key part of the team's success this season, with a 2.62 ERA and 47 strikeouts in 44 2/3 innings across eight starts.

Rays' RHP Drew Rasmussen Placed on 60-Day IL with Flexor Strain.

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Drew Rasmussen has been placed on the 60-day injured list with a flexor strain in his forearm, which will keep him out until at least the All-Star Break. Rasmussen will be shut down from throwing entirely for two months, and if all goes as planned, he could restart a throwing program in the middle of July. The Rays have been hit hard with rotation injuries this season, and Rasmussen's absence leaves Shane McClanahan as the only constant starter.
