Drew Rasmussen - Early exit part of pre-planned moveRasmussen was lifted in the top of the fourth inning of his start in Sunday's 7-0 win over the Tigers in a "baseball decision," Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports. He struck out...
ImpactManager Kevin Cash made no indication that Rasmussen would be limited while returning to the mound Sunday on his standard four days' rest, but that's exactly what happened, even though the right-hander faced one more than the minimum through three innings while throwing just 33 pitches. Since he departed with the game tied 0-0, Rasmussen didn't come away with the win after Tampa Bay plated all seven of their runs in the top of the ninth inning. The early exit on a day he was pitching so well was surely frustrating for fantasy managers, but Rasmussen at least turned in a 1.00 ERA and 0.88 WHIP during his two-start week.

Drew Rasmussen - Leaves with apparent injuryRasmussen was lifted in the bottom of the fourth inning of his start Sunday against the Tigers with an apparent injury, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. He struck out tw...
ImpactOnly an Isaac Paredes fielding error prevented Rasmussen from facing the minimum amount of batters through three innings, and since Tampa Bay wasn't planning on having Rasmussen make a short start Sunday, it appears safe to assume his early exit was due to some sort of physical concern. Expect the Rays to provide an update on Rasmussen's situation later Sunday.

David Peralta - Takes seat SundayPeralta is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ImpactThe lefty-hitting Peralta could see most of his days off against lefties moving forward, but he'll exit the Tampa Bay lineup for the first time since being acquired from the Diamondbacks on July 30 while Detroit brings a righty (Matt Manning) to the hill. While starting in each of the Rays' last six games, Peralta went 7-for-25 (.280 average) with two doubles and two RBI.
