2 years agoTampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Drew Rasmussen was scratched from his scheduled start on Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox and placed on the paternity list. With Rasmussen leaving the team for a few days, JT Chargois will step in as the opener on Tuesday against Boston, but he won't have much fantasy appeal as a streamer. The 27-year-old Rasmussen could return to make his next start at some point this weekend against the New York Yankees. He's been very strong for the Rays and fantasy managers this year, going 9-4 with a 2.70 ERA (3.23 FIP), a 1.05 WHIP, 103 strikeouts and 27 walks in 116 2/3 innings over 23 starts in his first full season with the Rays.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
