Rasmus will be the Rays' primary left fielder when the team faces right-handed pitching, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rasmus could see occasional time against southpaws as well, but the expectation is that he'll form a platoon with Corey Dickerson in left field. Rasmus had a tough time staying on the field in 2016 and played in just 107 games, during which he hit .206/.286/.355, all of which were his lowest marks since entering the league in 2009.
