2024 Fantasy Outlook
Rasmussen entered the 2023 season on a bullet train of hype and through eight starts was delivering on that hype with four wins and 47 strikeouts along with a 2.62 ERA. Little did we know that the pitch he threw to induce a Gleyber Torres groundout to complete seven shutout innings at Yankee Stadium would be the last pitch he threw on the season. Rasmussen was diagnosed with a right flexor strain in mid-May and eventually underwent an internal brace surgery to his UCL. It is worth noting that Rasmussen had two TJ surgeries in college as the coaching staff implemented some questionable usage patterns with him, and the list of pitchers successfully recovering from three TJ surgeries is short enough for Mordecai Brown to count with his pitching hand. The internal brace procedure allows for a quicker physical return to the mound, but all the risks of excessive time off with major surgery still apply. Simply put, Rasmussen is a wild card selection for the later rounds. Read Past Outlooks
