2022 Fantasy Outlook
Rasmussen was one of the two arms Tampa Bay received just before the summer from Milwaukee for Willy Adames. Rasmussen was exclusively a reliever for Milwaukee, and did much of the same for Tampa Bay throughout the summer until injuries on the roster forced him into a starting role, which he took a surprising liking to. Rasmussen became a more efficient pitcher as a starter simply by attacking hitters with fastballs and sliders and not looking for the punchout as much as he did as a reliever. Rasmussen held hitters to a .171 average as a starter (.239 as a reliever) and had a 4.5 BB% starting (11.8% relieving). He may not go deep into games without an effective third pitch, but he has proven to be efficient enough to get through five with what he has and qualify for wins. A better third pitch would help his strikeout rate as a starter, but his work down the stretch was promising. Read Past Outlooks

Stifles Jays in no-decision
Rasmussen didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jays, allowing one run on three hits and a walk over 5.2 innings while striking out one.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander has only completed six innings once in his seven starts this season, but otherwise Rasmussen has had an outstanding beginning to the season as he continues to draw weak contact out of hitters. Through 33.2 innings, the 26-year-old has posted a 2.67 ERA and 0.92 WHIP with a 27:8 K:BB.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
Rasmussen made his major-league debut in August of 2020 and pitched fairly well over his first 10 appearances, posting a 1.89 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 13.2 innings during that time. However, he allowed seven earned runs across his final two outings of the year, which skewed his final numbers during the abbreviated season. Despite his struggles late in the season, the 25-year-old showed promise during his first taste of major-league action with a 3.34 xFIP over the year. He showed off his elite 97.7 mph average fastball velocity and had a 29.6 K% and an impressive 12.6% swinging-strike rate. The right-hander likely earned a spot in the Brewers' bullpen for Opening Day in 2021, but he won't be in line for save chances to begin the season given the team's talented set of relievers. Rasmussen showed immense promise over a limited sample last year, but his fantasy value is limited by his role for Milwaukee.
