Carrasco returns to the fold as emergency depth for Atlanta after compiling a bloated 7.09 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 34/17 K/BB ratio across 45 2/3 innings over 11 appearances (nine starts) between the Braves and Yankees last season. The long-time fixture in Cleveland’s rotation would be back for his 17th season in the big leagues if he makes it to Truist Park at some point next year.

He’s back. Carrasco’s foray into free agency lasted only a few hours before latching back on with Atlanta as emergency organizational pitching depth. The 38-year-old veteran was torched for 15 runs on 22 hits across 13 2/3 innings of work in his three starts for the Braves.

The Carrasco era comes to a close in Atlanta after just three calamitous starts where he was shelled for 15 runs on 22 hits across 13 2/3 innings of work. It’s possible this is the end of the road for the 38-year-old veteran after a 16-year career that dates back to 2009.

This doesn’t come as a huge surprise with Carrasco having yet another subpar start on Wednesday night. With Hurston Waldrep pitching well, this move opens up a spot for him to remain in Atlanta’s rotation going forward. Sadly, this may be the end of the road for Carrasco.

Sometimes people say a pitcher has “nothing”. Well, right now, Carrasco literally has nothing. He let the first four batters of this game reach base and was fortunate to allow just six runs through two innings while leaving 89 mph sinkers in the heart of the plate. Somehow, the Braves stormed all the way back to win this game and get Carrasco off the hook. After an exceptional career, Carrasco simply does not have much left in the tank.

The 38-year-old hurler also walked two batters on the night while striking out a pair. Most of the damage came during a five-run uprising in the second inning that featured a two-run triple by Eric Wagaman and a two-run homer off the bat of Graham Pauley. Carrasco got eight swings and misses on 103 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 23 percent. He’ll carry a troublesome 6.18 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and a 32/14 K/BB ratio (43 2/3 innings) into Wednesday’s matchup against the Mets in New York.

Carrasco racked up five strikeouts on the evening while issuing a pair of free passes. The 38-year-old hurler allowed an RBI double to Tyler Stephenson and served up a two-run blast to Elly De La Cruz in the third inning to account for the damage done against him. He finished his day with three scoreless frames though. Carrasco got 13 swings and misses on 95 pitches on the evening, posting a CSW of 31 percent. He’ll do battle against the Brewers the next time he takes the hill on Wednesday evening.

Carrasco officially joins the Braves roster three days after being acquired from the Yankees in a cash move. He’ll start tonight’s game against the Reds. Dane Dunning should be available to go long behind him, if needed.

Carrasco, 39, had a 5.91 ERA in six starts for the Yankees earlier this season and was at 3.27 in 52 1/3 innings for their Triple-A club. The Braves have the option of leaving him in Triple-A, but that’s probably not the plan. He’ll likely join the injury-plagued rotation, but he shouldn’t offer any fantasy value.

The Braves need innings even after picking up Erick Fedde. Carrasco, who was 2-2 with a 5.91 ERA in six starts for the Yankees earlier this season, doesn’t have much left in the tank at age 38, but the Braves figure it’s better than trying another youngster.

Carrasco figures to elect free agency in search of a new opportunity, but there’s a chance he decides to stick around with the Yankees and wait for another opportunity. The 38-year-old veteran has compiled a lackluster 5.91 ERA and 25/10 K/BB ratio across 32 innings (eight appearances, six starts) this season in the majors.

Carrasco, who had a 5.91 ERA over 32 innings during his first stint with the Yankees, didn’t pitch during his one day on the roster this time around. He should clear waivers and likely will remain in the organization.

Nothing official from the club yet. Carrasco’s latest stint with the Yankees lasted roughly 24 hours as he was up with the club for Sunday’s series finale against the Dodgers and didn’t end up making an appearance. The 38-year-old veteran figures to pass through waivers and wind up electing free agency. It’s unclear whether there will be an interest on the open market.

The 38-year-old hurler will return to provide the Yankees with a fresh arm that’s capable of working multiple innings for Sunday night’s showdown against the Dodgers after their bullpen was depleted on Saturday. Carrasco holds a 5.91 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and a 25/10 K/BB ratio over 32 innings with the Yankees on the season.

The 38-year-old Carrasco is being cut loose after going 2-2 with a 5.91 ERA and a 25/10 K/BB in 32 innings over six starts and two relief appearances. The move leaves the Yankees with only four starters currently on the roster, though they do have Ryan Yarbrough capable of stepping in. Options at Triple-A include Allan Winans and Sean Boyle. The team could do without a fifth starter until next Tuesday.

On the bright side, this was Carrasco’s best game of the season in terms of missing bats. He forced 15 whiffs in total and did so by pushing up his slider usage while barely throwing either of his fastballs. In total, he threw just one fewer slider than both his four-seam fastball and sinker combined. He also threw more changeups than either of those pitches individually. The downside of this plan was that he struggled to find the strike zone, consistently fell behind in the count, and then gave up tons of hits when the Orioles were hunting his fastballs. At the end of the day, any version of Carrasco at this point in his career is not fantasy viable.

José Berríos matched Carrasco, so the game was scoreless when he departed. It’s the first time in 34 starts since July 6, 2023 that Carrasco has gone without allowing a run, and his ERA dropped to 5.26. He’ll make his next start Wednesday in Baltimore.

Carrasco pitched two quiet innings before a walk, passed ball, and base hit brought a run in to score for the Rays in the third. Tampa Bay would bring three more across in the fourth on four hits. That would be it for Carrasco at 75 pitches. The 38-year-old veteran right-hander will take a 6.53 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, and a 15/7 K/BB ratio across 20 2/3 innings into a start against the Blue Jays in New York on Friday.

Bobby Witt Jr.'s third-inning homer was the only hit surrendered by Carrasco. The 38-year-old righty struck out four and walked two in the 79-pitch outing. While Carrasco’s ERA stands at 5.94, the Marcus Stroman injury ensured that he would survive Clarke Schmidt’s return. He’ll face the Rays this weekend.
