Drew Rasmussen, formerly of the Milwaukee Brewers, has earned his first All-Star Game selection, stepping in for Yusei Kikuchi. Drafted by the Brewers in 2018, Rasmussen was traded to the Tampa Bay Rays in a deal involving Willy Adames. Since then, he has excelled with a 2.82 ERA and a 1.007 WHIP across 18 starts. However, his career has been marred by injuries, including multiple Tommy John surgeries.

On the Brewers' side, Adames has shown his worth, posting a .344 batting average and 11 home runs this season. The trade has proven mutually beneficial, with both players contributing significantly to their teams.
