Rasmus is out of the lineup Monday against the Orioles.

Analysis:

Rasmus will sit in favor of Preston Tucker, who will be making his seventh start in the team's last 11 games. Even when Tucker is in the lineup, Rasmus will sometimes relieve Jake Marisnick in center field, but that won't be the case Monday afternoon. Rasmus may be third on the team with eight long balls, but with Tucker batting .324/.419/.595 since his call-up, nobody's role in the outfield as an everyday player (outside of George Springer) is 100 percent safe.
