Fans eight in no-decision
Rasmussen allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits and a walk across five innings Wednesday against the Brewers. He struck out eight.
Analysis
Rasmussen matched his 2025 season high with eight strikeouts Wednesday. The right-hander has been sharp in two starts to open the 2026 campaign, allowing just two earned runs on six hits across 10 innings. Rasmussen will look to keep it going in his next outing, tentatively scheduled to come next week at home against the Cubs.

Hurls five strong innings in opener
Rasmussen didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Cardinals, allowing one run on four hits and no walks in five innings. He struck out two.
Analysis
It was a strong season debut overall for the right-hander, who was able to throw 73 pitches. It's worth noting that Rasmussen tossed 83 pitches in his final start of spring training a week ago, so it might have been a bit of a surprise to see him get pulled when he did Thursday. The Rays were careful about his workload in 2025 -- Rasmussen reached the 90-pitch mark just twice in 31 starts last season -- so his pitch count will remain worth monitoring early on this year.
