Rays News
Drew Rasmussen's rough outing against the Yankees, where he surrendered 12 runs in a surprising 12-4 loss, raises concerns about the Rays' pitching depth as they head towards the All-Star break. This rare hiccup for Rasmussen, who had been a steady presence on the mound, could signal a need for the team to reevaluate their bullpen strategy. Meanwhile, Bryan Baker's unexpected selection to the American League All-Star team shines a spotlight on the resilience of the Rays' bullpen, especially as they prepare for a critical series against the Yankees. With the team currently standing at 54-36 and looking to solidify their position in the division, the next few games will be crucial for maintaining their momentum, especially as they face a Yankees squad that’s riding high on power from Ben Rice, who continues to impress ahead of the Home Run Derby.
