Rasmus, who was back in the lineup Sunday after sitting the previous two games, will continue to see regular playing time, the team's official site reports.
Recommendation: Rasmus has really struggled this season, hitting .203 with three homers in 133 at-bats. "I just felt like a couple of days down would do him some good, just to get some extra work in the cage, work through some things," manager John Farrell said. "Just getting a little bit more consistent timing to his swing. Give him a couple a days break and get him back in there. Colby is an important part of this club. Some players need a little bit of a break at times, and I felt like the last two days were that for Colby." Rasmus had a hit and a walk in his return to the lineup Sunday.
