A change of plans for the Rays against the Cubs tonight, which hopefully leaves them scrambling a bit.
BREAKING: #Rays Drew Rasmussen has been scratched from today’s start with his wife, Stevie, expecting their second child. Mason Englert will open today’s game.
— Ryan Bass (@Ry_Bass) April 7, 2026Drew Rasmussen is intermittently a stud, so missing him in this series is already a net positive for the Cubs.
Meanwhile, the Rays’ bullpen – yesterday notwithstanding – has generally struggled this year, so you’d like to believe it’s a boost to the Cubs’ bats today if they get to face nothing but relievers. The Rays also had to use four relievers to cover five innings in yesterday’s win, so they might already be a little behind the eight ball (and potentially for tomorrow’s game to conclude the series, too).
Here’s hoping the Cubs, while wishing the Rasmussen family nothing but the best, can take advantage of the situation. The bats could use any help they can get right now. Just need a spark.
