Drew Rasmussen reached 500 career strikeouts on June 10, 2026, becoming the latest pitcher to cross this threshold in his seventh major league season.
Rasmussen began his career with Milwaukee, appearing in 12 games in 2020 and 15 games in 2021 before joining Tampa Bay midway through the 2021 season with 20 appearances. He has remained with the Rays since, appearing in 28 games in 2022, 8 games in 2023, 16 games in 2024, and 31 games in 2025.
