Rasner Rewarded for Success

Darrell Rasner may not be long from rejoining the Yankees, as a replacement in the rotation, or as a long man out of the bullpen. Earlier today, Rasner was named the International League Pitcher of the Week for this past week.

Rasner was awarded after winning a pair of starts and limiting Scranton's opponents to 1 run in 14 innings. It lowered his season ERA to 0.87. Amazingly, his ERA is only 4th best in the league.

Rasner is tied for the league lead in wins, is 3rd in innings pitched, and 4th in strikeouts. If Ian Kennedy feels hot breath on his neck, it's most assuredly Rasner's.
