CARLOS CARRASCO NEWS

Re-ups with Atlanta Atlanta re-signed Carrasco to a minor-league contract Sunday.

Impact After Atlanta designated Carrasco for assignment Thursday, the veteran right-hander elected free agency Saturday upon clearing waivers, only to re-sign with the organization a day later. Carrasco will likely slot into the rotation at Triple-A Gwinnett, but he may not be in line for another call-up to the big club before the end of the season after logging a 9.88 ERA and 2.12 WHIP in 13.2 innings over his three starts with Atlanta.

Elects free agnecy Carrasco elected free agency Saturday, Lindsay Crosby of AthlonSports.com reports.

Impact Atlanta designated Carrasco for assignment Thursday, and after clearing waivers, the 38-year-old chose to hit the open market. He made three starts with Atlanta, posting a 9.88 ERA and a 9:7 K:BB across 13.2 innings. While he hasn't posted an ERA below 5.64 in the big leagues since 2023, Carrasco did log a 3.27 ERA in 52.1 innings with the Yankees' Triple-A affiliate earlier this season, so a team could be willing to take a chance on him.

Booted from 40-man roster Atlanta designated Carrasco for assignment Thursday.

Impact At least until Chris Sale (ribcage) returns from the 60-day injured list, Atlanta appears set to proceed with Hurston Waldrep and Erick Fedde as its back-end rotation options after DFA'ing Carrasco, who allowed 15 earned runs on 22 hits and seven walks over 13.2 innings across his three starts with the club upon being acquired from the Yankees on July 28. Once he clears waivers, the 38-year-old right-hander could elect free agency in pursuit of an opportunity elsewhere, but it's possible that his time as a big-league pitcher may be over.

Shelled by former club Carrasco allowed six runs on six hits and three walks while striking out two batters over two innings in a no-decision against the Mets on Wednesday.

Impact Against the team he pitched for from 2021 to 2023, Carrasco was unable to reach the third frame. The Mets got to him for three runs in each of the first two innings, with the biggest blow being a Juan Soto two-run homer. Carrasco needed 67 pitches -- only 36 of which were strikes -- to retire six batters, and he gave up four extra-base hits. After notching a quality start against the Reds in his Atlanta debut July 31, the veteran righty has surrendered 12 runs over 7.2 innings in his subsequent two outings. His season ERA now stands at 7.09 across 45.2 frames between Atlanta and the Yankees, and it's fair to wonder how much the 38-year-old has left in the tank.

Struggles in no-decision Carrasco didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Marlins, allowing six earned runs on nine hits and two walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out two.

Impact Carrasco was tagged for five runs in the second inning, highlighted by a two-run homer from Graham Pauley, and never fully settled in. The veteran right-hander has been subpar since joining Atlanta, giving up nine earned runs on 16 hits over 11.2 innings through two starts. Carrasco's margin for error remains thin as he tries to solidify a spot in Atlanta's rotation after a string of injuries.

AUGUST 8 • ROTOWIRE

Drawing another start Carrasco is slated to start Thursday's game against the Marlins at Truist Park.

Impact Carrasco will be awarded a second start for Atlanta after he came over in a trade with the Yankees and impressed in his team debut last Thursday. He took a no-decision in Atlanta's 12-11 win over the Reds that day, covering six innings and allowing three earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five. With the Atlanta rotation having been thinned by injuries in recent weeks and with Chris Sale (ribcage) not on track to return for a couple more weeks, Carrasco should get the opportunity to make additional starts for the club beyond Thursday.

Quality start in Atlanta debut Carrasco didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Reds, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out five.

Impact Carrasco got off to a shaky start, allowing three runs in his first three innings, though he'd ultimately settle in and blank Cincinnati over his final three frames to log his first quality start of the season. Carrasco was traded to Atlanta after struggling to a 5.91 ERA with a 1.53 WHIP across 32 innings with the Yankees. The veteran right-hander figures to remain in the rotation going forward, as Atlanta currently has five starters on the 60-day IL. Carrasco currently lines up for a home matchup with the Brewers in his next outing.

Called up, will start Thursday Atlanta selected Carrasco's contract and will have him start Thursday against the Reds in Cincinnati.

Impact Acquired from the Yankees earlier this week, Carrasco didn't end up reporting to Triple-A Gwinnett and will end up slotting into the opening in the Atlanta rotation that was created when Grant Holmes (elbow) landed on the injured list Sunday. Over eight appearances (six starts) in the big leagues with New York earlier this season, Carrasco posted a 5.91 ERA and 1.53 WHIP over 32 innings, but the veteran right-hander had been pitching effectively lately at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Over his five outings this month, Carrasco submitted a 2.23 ERA and 0.93 WHIP while issuing just three walks over 32.1 innings.

Yankees trade Carlos Carrasco to Braves as busy deadline continues The Yankees made another trade on Monday in what is shaping up to be an active deadline — though this time they were dealing a veteran away.

JULY 28 • NYPOST.COM

Traded to Atlanta Atlanta acquired Carrasco from the Yankees on Monday in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

Impact Atlanta desperately needs rotation arms as they deal with myriad starting pitcher injuries, as it has now acquired Erick Fedde and Carrasco on back-to-back days. Fedde will join Atlanta's rotation with a start Tuesday in Kansas City, and there's a good chance Carrasco will do the same, perhaps as soon as Thursday in Cincinnati. Carrasco -- who would need to be added to the 40-man roster -- has pitched well lately at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, collecting a 2.23 ERA and 21:3 K:BB over 32.1 frames covering his last five starts.

JULY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Staying in organization at Triple-A The Yankees outrighted Carrasco to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.

Impact Carrasco could have elected free agency and tested his options on the open market after the Yankees recently pushed him off their 40-man roster for the second time this season, but he'll instead stick around in the organization as starting depth at the Triple-A level. The 38-year-old righty could get another look with the Yankees at some point later in the summer if injuries hit the rotation, but he shouldn't attract much interest in fantasy circles after delivering a 5.91 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 25:10 K:BB in 32 innings between his prior two stints with the big club.

Impact Carrasco did not make an appearance during his most recent stint with the Yankees. He will likely clear waivers again and be outrighted, at which point he would decide whether to remain in the organization or become a free agent.

Impact Carrasco was added to the big-league roster Sunday as bullpen protection but did not make an appearance. He accepted an outright assignment by the Yankees in May and could do so again.
