News
	Drew Rasmussen allowed two runs on four hits over six innings with six strikeouts and two walks in a no-no-decision on Sunday against the Padres. Ari Koslow Mon, Aug 31st	Tyler Alexander earned the save Sunday against the Blue Jays, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning to close out Texas’ 3-2 win. It marked his second save in as many days after he had gone nearly three months without a save opportunity. Bruno Mulé Mon, Jun 29th
	Drew Rasmussen allowed one run on three hits and no walks while striking out five across six innings in Monday's 4-1 win over the Detroit Tigers. Nicholas Rodriguez Mon, Aug 24th	Tyler Alexander worked a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his third save of the season in Texas’ 7-4 win over Toronto. He did not record a strikeout while filling in after Jacob Latz and Jakob Junis had each pitched on the previous two days. Bruno Mulé Sun, Jun 28th
	Drew Rasmussen allowed five earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five across five innings in Wednesday's 7-6 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. Nicholas Rodriguez Wed, Aug 19th	Tyler Alexander will open for the Rangers on Tuesday against the Marlins. Ari Koslow Mon, Jun 22nd
	Drew Rasmussen earned the win after allowing two earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out three over five innings in Wednesday's 8-4 victory over the Athletics. Matthew Adam Thu, Aug 13th	The Rangers entered the season with an unsettled closer situation, and Alexander has been the third option in high-leverage usage behind Robert Garcia and Chris Martin. With both Garcia and Martin having pitched two days in a row entering Monday, Alexander was called on to close out the ninth inning against Baltimore. Bruno Mulé Tue, Mar 31st
	Drew Rasmussen allowed two hits and two walks while striking out eight over seven scoreless innings in Friday's 2-1 win over the Seattle Mariners. Nicholas Rodriguez Sat, Aug 8th
Notes
	Everyone seems to be forgetting the Rays are moving back into their spacious, pitcher-friendly ballpark in 2026 and ranking Drew Rasmussen way too low. He gave up more than 1.0 HR/9 for the first time in his career, but allowed twice as many at home in George Steinbrenner Field, which he won't have to deal with this season. His strikeout rate is middle of the road at 21.7%, but his walk rate is an impressive 6.3%, offering a WHIP below 1.10 every year of his career. He started 31 games last season, and even though his xERA (3.43) was higher than his actual (2.76), his ERA and FIP numbers from the previous two years, when he got to pitch at Tropicana Field, were stellar. It's worth it to target all of the Rays pitchers, but Rasmussen leads the way and would make a solid SP3 or SP4 on any fantasy pitching staff. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
	The only thing preventing Rasmussen from entering the top 15 starter realm is the start-to-start load management, which is not projected to change. However, you'll get consistently good starts and great ratios, although the lack of innings pitched will cap his upside. Anthony Gambale - Roto Street Journal
