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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

New York Mets right-hander Tylor Megill is getting the start in Monday's Game 2 of the doubleheader against Charlie Morton and the Atlanta Braves. The 27-year-old hasn't lived up to the promise he showed in 2022, as he's paired a 3.96 ERA with a disappointing 17.3% strikeout rate, 10.9% walk rate, and 1.48 WHIP across five starts. With Justin Verlander (shoulder) and Max Scherzer (suspension) returning this week and Carlos Carrasco (elbow) not far behind, Megill might be out of the rotation ...

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 ...

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.

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...
