Carrasco (1-5) was tagged with the loss Saturday against Atlanta after allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks while fanning five across five innings.
EDGE Analysis
Carrasco had quite a few ups and downs throughout the season but ends the year on a sour note, as he gave up exactly five runs in each of his last two appearances. The veteran made 12 starts in his first year with the Mets and posted a woeful 6.04 ERA, a figure that represents his worst mark since 2013.

Carrasco (1-4) allowed five runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out three over four innings as he took the loss to the Brewers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Carrasco struggled off the bat, as the Brewers got to him in the first on a two-run home run from Willy Adames. Three more runs would then end up scoring in the second on two walks, two base hits and an error. He would go on to toss a pair of scoreless innings afterward before his day was over. Sunday was the first time he's fallen short of reaching five innings since Aug. 15 when he gave up six runs in just two innings. Carrasco has now dropped back-to-back decisions and has allowed four walks in two of his last three starts. He owns a 5.73 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 45:16 K:BB over 48.2 innings this year. He's set for one more start next weekend against Atlanta.

Carrasco (thumb) is listed as the Mets' probable pitcher for Sunday's game against the Brewers in Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Carrasco had been in line to start Saturday, but because of a team off day Thursday, the Mets will be able to tinker with their pitching schedule. Though Carrasco looks like he'll be fine after he jammed his right thumb in his last outing Sept. 18 against the Phillies, he'll get an extra day to recover from the injury with Rich Hill flipping spots with the right-hander in the rotation. Over his last six starts, Carrasco has gone 1-2 with a 3.51 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 30:9 K:BB in 33.1 innings.

Carrasco's thumb is fine after he jammed it during his start Saturday against the Phillies, and he's expected to be back on the mound for his next turn in the rotation, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carrasco hurt his thumb when fouling off a pitch at the plate and wound up leaving after 82 pitches. The issue isn't a significant one, however, so he's expected to return to the mound Saturday against the Brewers.

Carrasco (1-3) was removed from Saturday's start against the Phillies due to a right thumb injury, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports. He took the loss after giving up two runs on five hits with five strikeouts and two walks across six innings.
EDGE Analysis
Carrasco suffered the injury when he fouled off a pitch while batting during the fifth inning, though he retook the mound and completed one more frame. The 34-year-old threw 56 of 82 pitches for strikes, and the only damage against him came via a pair of solo homers from Jean Segura. It's unclear if the thumb issue will affect Carrasco's next turn through the rotation, which lines up for next weekend at Milwaukee.

Carrasco got a no-decision in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Yankees, allowing two runs on three hits and four walks with five strikeouts in five innings.
EDGE Analysis
Carrasco started Sunday's game in poor fashion, walking the first two Yankees and surrendering both runs in the opening frame. He settled down thereafter and was actually spotted a 4-2 lead after the second inning, but the teams would go back and forth to eliminate Carrasco from the record. The 34-year-old has now permitted three runs or less in five straight starts and has a 3.62 ERA across 27.1 innings in the stretch.

Carrasco (1-2) picked up the win in Tuesday's 9-4 victory over the Marlins, giving up four runs (one earned) on seven hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran right-hander didn't get much help from his defense and exited the game after 92 pitches (61 strikes) with the score tied 4-4, but the Mets made it up to him by taking the lead for good in the top of the sixth inning while Carrasco was still the pitcher of record. While his 5.88 ERA on the season looks ugly, he's lasted at least five innings in each of his last four starts, posting a 3.63 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 20:3 K:BB through 22.1 innings over that stretch.

Carrasco yielded three runs on four hits and a walk over 5.1 innings in Thursday's no-decision against the Marlins. He had five strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Miami pounced on Carrasco for a pair of runs in the first inning, including a Miguel Rojas leadoff homer, but the veteran righty settled in after that. He put up zeroes for the next four frames until running into trouble again in the sixth, and a third run was eventually charged to Carrasco when reliever Aaron Loup walked in an inherited runner. Carrasco (0-2) has a 6.59 ERA and is still looking for his first win as a Met after seven starts.

Carrasco won't start as scheduled Wednesday against the Marlins since the game was postponed due to expected inclement weather, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Heavy rain is in the forecast for the next 24-plus hours, so an early decision was made to postpone Wednesday's contest. The game will be made up via a doubleheader Sept. 28. Carrasco could simply have his start pushed to Thursday, though the Mets haven't announced their updated pitching plans.

Carrasco allowed two runs on three hits with five strikeouts in seven innings against the Giants on Thursday. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Carrasco turned in the longest of his six starts this season, limiting San Francisco to a two-run Kris Bryant homer in the first inning. Carrasco stymied the Giants the rest of the way in what was easily his most effective start since coming off the IL in late-July. Thursday's outing lowered Carrasco's ERA from 8.82 to 6.94, although the 34-year-old is still searching for his first win as a Met.
