Eligibility
Carlos Carrasco has agreed to a minor-league contract with an invite to spring training with the Cleveland Guardians.
Fantasy Impact
The 36-year-old will return to Cleveland after spending the first 11 seasons of his career there. He struggled in his 90 innings last season (6.80 ERA and 5.68 FIP) and will likely not crack the starting rotation to start the year.
The Mets have placed SP Carlos Carrasco on the 15-day IL with a fractured finger.
Fantasy Impact
The injury is expected to sideline Carrasco four-to-six weeks, meaning his season is likely over. The veteran was scheduled to start for the Mets Wednesday, but the team will now have to turn to another arm to start. The 36-year-old will head into free agency after a disappointing season that saw him post a 6.80 ERA and a 1.70 WHIP in 90 innings pitched with the Mets.
The Mets placed RHP Carlos Carrasco on waivers Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Carrasco is one of many high priced players that were placed on waivers Tuesday. The 36-year-old may receive interest from a team in need of a pitcher despite a rough season. Carrasco has a 6.80 ERA, 1.70 WHIP, and 66 strikeouts across 90 innings pitched this season.
Carlos Carrasco allowed five runs on seven hits across 1 2/3 innings in a loss on Saturday against the Angels.
Fantasy Impact
Carrasco now carries a 6.80 ERA on the year.
Carlos Carrasco had a solid outing on Tuesday, allowing just two earned runs on three hits and two walks over five innings against the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact
He also recorded five strikeouts on 75 pitches. Unfortunately, Carrasco did not factor into the decision as the Mets ultimately fell to the Cubs by a score of 3-2. Looking at his season-long performance, Carrasco has struggled with a 6.42 ERA and a 1.60 WHIP over 17 starts. He has a 6.31 K/9 rate and a 1.63 strikeout-to-walk ratio, indicating some room for improvement.
