Tampa Bay Rays general manager Erik Neander stated the organization intends to keep pitcher Drew Rasmussen on the roster, according to a report from Gameday Times on Wednesday.
Rasmussen, who wears number 57, started Game 5 of the World Series against the Milwaukee Brewers at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, on October 28, 2026. The right-hander's performance in the Fall Classic underscored his value to the club.
Neander's comments signal the Rays' commitment to retaining the 28-year-old right-hander as they build for future seasons.
