Rest-of-Season Projections
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. Read Past Outlooks

Pitches five scoreless
Rasmussen (3-1) earned the win Tuesday after pitching five scoreless innings against the Blue Jays. He surrendered two hits, walked one and struck out three.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old was able to limit the damage to just three baserunners, none of which passed second base. He only threw 52 pitches in the contest as the team continues to limit his innings. Rasmussen has posted a 1.33 ERA and 0.67 WHIP in six starts since Aug. 12. He may not make another start this week with Dietrich Enns expected to take the ball against Detroit and Shane McClanahan (back) possibly returning after the 10-day minimum.

Likely to stay in rotation
Manager Kevin Cash suggested after Tuesday's 10-0 win over the Orioles that Rasmussen will remain in the Tampa Bay rotation for at least one more turn, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. "We'll continue to explore [Rasmussen starting] and just see where it takes us. As long as his bounce-back is good and he's feeling good, kind of why wouldn't we? He's just got a lot of power, and he's got a pretty good three-pitch, four-pitch mix."
