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.
