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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Atlanta acquired Carrasco from the Yankees on Monday in exchange for cash considerations, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Atlanta desperately needs rotation arms as it deals with myriad injuries to starting pitchers, and the club has now acquired Erick Fedde and Carrasco within the last two days to bolster depth. Fedde will join Atlanta's rotation and 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.

The Yankees outrighted Carrasco to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Yankees designated Carrasco for assignment Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Yankees will place Carrasco on outright waivers prior to Tuesday's game against the Guardians, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Yankees selected Carrasco's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Saturday's starter Will Warren lasted just 1.1 frames in a blowout loss to the Dodgers on Saturday, so Carrasco will join the Yankees as a potential long-relief option for Sunday's series finale. The 38-year-old made eight appearances (six starts) for New York before being DFA'd in early May and had a 5.91 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 25:20 K:BB across 32 innings.

Carrasco cleared waivers Thursday and was sent outright to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco was designated for assignment Tuesday after turning in a 5.91 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in 32 innings across eight appearances with the Yankees. Rather than opting for free agency, the 38-year-old righty will remain in the organization and serve as rotation depth for the RailRiders. However, his 6.14 ERA in the majors since 2023 gives him little hope of contributing for the big club later in the year.

The Yankees designated Carrasco for assignment Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco made the Yankees' Opening Day rotation as a non-roster invitee, but he went on to post a 5.91 ERA with just 25 strikeouts over 32 innings covering six starts and two relief appearances. There's a good chance Carrasco clears waivers, and if he does, he will have the ability to elect free agency.

Carrasco tossed three innings in relief Sunday against Tampa Bay, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out three batters.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco started in six of his first seven appearances this season, but he covered the final three frames for the Yankees on Sunday. The veteran hurler surrendered two runs in his first inning of work but settled in and held the Rays scoreless over the eighth and ninth frames. Carrasco's most recent start was April 30 versus Baltimore, but his schedule got shifted due to Clarke Schmidt (side) getting scratched from his start Saturday and pushed to start this coming Tuesday instead. Given his appearance Sunday, Carrasco appears in line to return to the rotation versus the Athletics on Friday.

Carrasco (2-2) came away with the loss against the Orioles on Wednesday, allowing four runs on eight hits while striking out five over 3.1 innings. He did not issue a walk.

EDGE Analysis

All four of the runs Carrasco yielded came in the second inning, three of which came on home runs by Ryan Mountcastle and Ramon Urias. Carrasco has given up four earned runs in three of his last five outings and is up to a 5.90 ERA and 1.48 WHIP over 29 innings. He's lined up to face the Padres at home next week.
