Career
[edit]San Francisco Giants
[edit]Rashi attended West Torrance High School in Torrance, California, and played for their baseball team.[1] He played college baseball at El Camino College[2] and the University of California, Irvine. The San Francisco Giants selected Rashi in the 23rd round, 686th overall, of the 2019 MLB draft.[3] He split his first professional season between the rookie-level Arizona League Giants and Low-A Salem-Keizer Volcanoes. Rashi did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]
Rashi returned to action in 2021 with the High-A Eugene Emeralds, posting a 6–3 record and 4.44 ERA with 68 strikeouts and two saves across 32 appearances (two starts). He made 30 relief outings for the Double-A Richmond Flying Squirrels in 2022, compiling a 1–3 record and 2.83 ERA with 52 strikeouts and one save over 35 innings of work.[5]
Arizona Diamondbacks
[edit]On December 7, 2022, the Arizona Diamondbacks selected Rashi from the Giants in the minor league phase of the Rule 5 draft.[6] He split the 2023 campaign between the rookie-level Arizona Complex League Diamondbacks and Double-A Amarillo Sod Poodles, accumulating a 3–1 record and 4.40 ERA with 18 strikeouts and one save in 11 appearances (three starts).[7]
Rashi split the 2024 season between Amarillo and the Triple-A Reno Aces. He made 41 relief appearances for the two affiliates, registering a combined 7–3 record and 4.70 ERA with 62 strikeouts and three saves across 51+2⁄3 innings pitched.[8]
On August 27, 2025, Rashi was selected to the 40-man roster and promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[9] He made his major league debut the next day, earning a save with three innings pitched not allowing a run.[10] Rashi made 10 appearances for the Diamondbacks during his rookie campaign, logging an 0–1 record and 4.41 ERA with 22 strikeouts and two saves across 16+1⁄3 innings pitched. On November 21, he was non-tendered by Arizona and became a free agent.[11]
On December 5, 2025, Rashi re-signed with the Diamondbacks on a minor league contract.[12]
