Tue Mar 2612:37Carlos Carrasco Makes Cleveland's Rotation
Veteran right-hander Carlos Carrasco has made the Cleveland Guardians' Opening Day starting rotation and is slated to make his 2024 debut on Sunday against the Oakland Athletics and right-hander Paul Blackburn. Although the 37-year-old Carrasco doesn't have much fantasy appeal these days, he could be a sneaky streamer this weekend against the A's. We'll see how Carrasco fares to open the season, but when Gavin Williams (elbow) is healthy, there's a good chance Carrasco will be bumped from the rotation. In 20 starts (90 innings) for the New York Mets in 2023, he wasn't good, going 3-8 with a 6.80 ERA (5.86 FIP) and 1.70 WHIP while walking 38 and striking out 66. Carrasco will most likely serve as a multi-inning reliever for Cleveland for most of the year.

Fri Feb 2314:07Carlos Carrasco Slated To Start Spring Opener
Cleveland Guardians right-handed pitcher Carlos Carrasco (finger) is expected to start Saturday's Spring Training game against the Cincinnati Reds, according to Nick Camino of WKYC. Carrasco inked a minor league deal this season with the Guardians, for whom he played 11 seasons from 2010 through 2020. He most recently pitched for the New York Mets, posting a 4.93 xFIP, 6.60 K/9, and 3.80 BB/9 through 20 starts last year before a 50-pound barbell fell on his finger and prematurely ended his season. A trusted veteran presence familiar with the Cleveland system, Carrasco will compete for a back-of-the-rotation role in camp.

Sun Jan 2812:17Carlos Carrasco Returning To Guardians
Free-agent right-hander Carlos Carrasco signed a minor-league deal with an invitation to big-league spring training on Saturday with the Cleveland Guardians, according to sources. The 36-year-old veteran pitched for the Guardians from 2009-20. He spent the last three seasons with the Mets, going 19-20 with a bloated 5.21 ERA (4.55 FIP) and 1.46 WHIP with 97 walks and 268 strikeouts in 295 2/3 innings over 61 starts. He was even worse in 2023, posting a 6.80 ERA and 1.70 WHIP in 90 innings over 20 starts before fracturing his finger in September. The Guardians' starting rotation is already pretty set heading into the 2024 season, so Carrasco could open the year in a middle-relief role out of Cleveland's bullpen, making him unattractive in the majority of fantasy leagues.

Tue Aug 29 202318:57Carlos Carrasco Waived By Mets
New York Mets starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco has been waived by the team on Tuesday. The Mets have really struggled this season, but so has Carrasco. He has a 6.60 ERA, 1.70 WHIP in over 90 innings of work. At this point, the Mets are just trying to get some salary relief for the veteran pitcher. There was already a handful of other pitchers waived on Tuesday as well. Honestly, Carrasco has pitched the worst out of them all. That being said, playoff contending teams will probably all look elsewhere before considering Carrasco. A change of scenery isn't going to make him worth a gamble in fantasy leagues.

Tue Jun 6 202314:35Carlos Carrasco Looking To Stay Strong Tuesday
New York Mets pitcher Carlos Carrasco is looking to build on two consecutive excellent starts as he takes on the Atlanta Braves on the road Tuesday night. While Carrasco allowed five runs or more in three of his first four starts this season, he's also allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four, including just one earned run allowed in each of his last two outings while logging at least six innings on both occasions. While he's turned his season around of late, the 36-year-old still sports a bloated 5.74 ERA while his 6.09 FIP, 5.40 SIERA, and tiny 13.9% K% leave plenty to be desired. He'll take on a dangerous Braves offense that is tied for 11th with a .324 wOBA against right-handed pitching this season.

Fri May 19 202309:28Carlos Carrasco Set To Return Friday
New York Mets starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco (elbow) is expected to come off the injured list and start Friday's game against Cal Quantrill and the Cleveland Guardians, according to MLB.com. The right-hander hasn't pitched in big league action since April 15 after experiencing right elbow inflammation. Over Carrasco's first three starts, his numbers weren't pretty, pitching to an 8.56 ERA, 1.61 WHIP, and 12.3% strikeout rate. However, given his track record, including a 3.97 ERA in 2022, fantasy managers can assume things will start to regress in the right direction. This doesn't change the rotation much, as there was already a spot open after the club demoted Joey Lucchesi and David Peterson.

Thu May 11 202316:50Carlos Carrasco Scheduled To Make Rehab Start Sunday
New York Mets starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco (elbow) is tentatively scheduled to make his next minor-league rehab start on Sunday, May 14, before rejoining the Mets' starting rotation. He allowed a run over three innings for Double-A Binghamton on Tuesday. Between the start and a 46-pitch bullpen session, coaches were "very upbeat" about how he felt and pitched. Carrasco's bone spur in his right elbow could eventually require surgery, but in the short term he received a cortisone injection and restarted a throwing program the week of April 24. Barring a setback over the weekend, the 36-year-old veteran right-hander should be back in New York's rotation next week. He's sporting an 8.56 ERA and 1.61 WHIP with eight strikeouts in 13 2/3 innings over his first three starts, and Carrasco will be a very risky fantasy play in his first start back.

Tue May 9 202323:11Carlos Carrasco Goes Three Innings In Rehab Start
New York Mets starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco (elbow, illness) made his first minor-league rehab start for Double-A Binghamton on Tuesday and allowed a run on three hits while walking one and striking out one in three innings of work. Carrasco only threw 33 pitches in the outing, so it's more than likely that he'll need at least one more rehab start before the Mets feeling comfortable returning him to their starting rotation. The 36-year-old right-hander has been on the injured list since the middle of April due to right-elbow inflammation, and he was sporting an ugly 8.56 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and only eight strikeouts in 13 2/3 innings in his three starts for the team before his injury. Carrasco's first rehab start was pushed back to Tuesday due to an illness.

Mon May 8 202313:59Carlos Carrasco To Make Rehab Start Tuesday
New York Mets starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco (elbow, illness) will make a minor-league rehab start for Double-A Binghamton on Tuesday. Carrasco's first rehab game was scratched over the weekend after he came down with an illness, but he's feeling better now and will pitch on Tuesday. The 36-year-old right-hander is expected to need just one rehab appearance before the Mets activate him from the injured list, so he should be back with the big-league team later this week, barring a setback on Tuesday. Carrasco hasn't pitched since April 15 due to a bone chip in his right elbow, so fantasy managers looking to stream him should be extremely careful whenever he makes his next start for the Mets.

Sat May 6 202313:40Carlos Carrasco Will Miss Scheduled Rehab Start
New York Mets starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco (elbow/illness) will not make his scheduled minor league rehab start this weekend, per manager Buck Showalter. Showalter told reporters that Carrasco isn't feeling well while dealing with a virus so his scheduled rehab start will need to be pushed back. The veteran hurler has been out since mid-April with a bone spur in his right elbow. He struggled with an 8.56 ERA and 1.61 WHIP over his first three starts so fantasy managers should be cautious with him whenever he makes it back to the Mets.

Mon May 1 202312:14Carlos Carrasco Could Rejoin Rotation Next Week
New York Mets manager Buck Showalter said that starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco (elbow) is making progress and could be inserted back into the starting rotation next week. The 36-year-old right-hander has been recovering from a small bone chip in his right elbow that landed him on the injured list a few weeks ago. If Carrasco returns to the team's rotation without going on a minor-league rehab assignment, he'll be even riskier for fantasy lineups and will likely be on a pitch count. When he returns to New York, Joey Lucchesi will likely be out of a rotation spot. Before getting hurt, Carrasco hadn't looked good, posting an 8.56 ERA (7.48 FIP), 1.61 WHIP, eight walks and eight strikeouts in 13 2/3 innings over three starts.

New York Mets starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco (elbow) threw a bullpen on Thursday. Carrasco came away feeling good, but there is still no return date for him. Without any further setbacks, Carrasco, who has a bone spur in his throwing elbow, should be back within a few weeks. Hopefully, he is on his way back to the mound soon for the Metropolitans.

Sat Apr 22 202315:02Carlos Carrasco Is Several Days From Throwing
New York Mets starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco (elbow) is two to three days from throwing, per manager Buck Showalter. Carrasco is dealing with inflammation and a small bone spur in his right elbow and received a small injection earlier this week. The team will know more about his status once he resumes throwing. The idea is that the injection and the time off will help him avoid a lengthy absence but that remains to be seen. The 36-year-old hurler got off to a horrible start this year, putting up an 8.56 ERA, 1.61 WHIP, and 8:8 K/BB ratio over 13 2/3 innings.

Wed Apr 19 202322:45Carlos Carrasco Has Bone Chip, Could Require Surgery
New York Mets starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco (elbow) has a small bone chip in his right elbow, which is causing the swelling/discomfort that landed him on the injured list on Tuesday. The hope is that an injection he received on Wednesday will allow him to resume pitching in two weeks. Otherwise, he could require surgery, which would keep him out for an extended amount of time. The 36-year-old veteran is worth holding for now, but he might not be worth holding if he needs surgery, depending on how long it will keep him out. He's struggled in his first three starts, allowing 13 earned runs on 14 hits while walking eight and striking out eight in 13 2/3 innings. Joey Lucchesi is worth a pickup in deep-mixed leagues, as he's expected to take Carrasco's rotation spot.

Tue Apr 18 202320:25Carlos Carrasco Placed On Injured List
New York Mets starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco (elbow) has been placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to April 16. The right-hander is dealing with right elbow inflammation, which could possibly explain his struggles to begin the season Carrasco holds a 8.56 ERA and a 1.61 WHIP through 13 2/3 innings this season. In a corresponding move, right-hander Jeff Brigham has been recalled to take Carrasco's spot on the active roster. However, Brigham is expected to be an extra arm out of the bullpen until the Mets decide what to do with Carrasco's spot in the rotation. The expectation is that Jose Butto will likely move into the starting rotation.

Wed Mar 22 202316:35Carlos Carrasco Scratched From Thursday's Start
New York Mets starting pitcherCarlos Carrascowill not pitch on Thursday as scheduled. Carrasco was supposed to start a minor league game for the Mets but will receive some elbow maintenance instead. Manager Buck Showalter said the starter receives the maintenance periodically and will make a minor league start Tuesday instead. Carrasco is more of an NL-only or deeper league-type starter at this point in his career, but he could be helpful in those leagues. The veteran right-hander posted a 15-7 record with a 3.97 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and 152 strikeouts over 152 innings in 2022.

Thu Nov 10 202213:29Mets Pick Up Carlos Carrasco's Option
The New York Mets are picking up starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco's $14 million option for the 2023 season, according to general manager Billy Eppler. The Mets need all the starting pitching help they can with Jacob deGrom, Chris Bassitt and Taijuan Walker all hitting free agency this offseason. Carrasco, 35, finished his second full season in New York by going 15-7 with a 3.97 ERA (3.53 FIP), a 1.33 WHIP and a 152:41 K:BB in 152 innings pitched over his 29 starts. As of right now, Carrasco and Max Scherzer headline the Mets' starting rotation, and it remains to be seen if the Mets will be able to bring back perennial Cy Young candidate deGrom into the fold.

Tue Sep 27 202223:35Carlos Carrasco Roughed Up Tuesday
New York Mets starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco could not come through in a big start Tuesday, allowing four runs on six hits and a walk in three innings to the lowly Miami Marlins. Carrasco struck out two batters. He also took the loss, dropping his season record to 15-7. This is the fourth start in his last six that Carrasco couldn't go more than four innings. He has a decent 3.95 ERA and 1.32 WHIP with 149 strikeouts in 148 innings this season, but that won't be much solace to fantasy managers and Mets fans.
