Game 1:
Rasmussen was diagnosed with elbow inflammation and will miss a couple of weeks. He was placed on the IL and
Mason Englert was recalled from Durham temporarily with
Alex Faedo set to come up and take Rasmussen's turn when it comes up.
Game 2:
Game 3:
A romp in the finale wasn't enough to wipe the bitter taste of the previous two games away as the Rays continue to tread water. If they don't get hot soon it might be time to make some deals and play the kids as guys like
Carson Williams, Xavier Isaac, Chandler Simpson and
Braden Taylor are doing well at Durham. We're still 2 1/2 back of the third wild card and in fifth spot overall in that race.
Next up: Miami visits for 3 games.
