Former Alabama baseball two-way player Tyler Ras, who did his best work as a pitcher in a college career that ended after the 2021 campaign, was placed on the injured list by the Fayetteville Woodpeckers on Saturday.

The Woodpeckers are the Single-A affiliate of the Houston Astros. According to Ras' transactions log on MLB's website, he signed a minor league pact with the organization on May 2. He came into a game last week only to get hurt during his warm-up pitches.

Ras has not cracked the big leagues yet, and owns a career 5.02 earned run average across 56 games without any starts. His stay on the injured list has initially been set at seven days; this timeframe is not necessarily set in stone.

Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:

"There's nothing like him out there. He's the 100th percentile. You don't see it. If you wanted to play him at tight end, you could flip him over and play tight end. If you had him drop 40 pounds, he could probably step in there at middle linebacker. This guy, there's nothing he can't do."Mario Cristobal on Da'Ron Payne
