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.

Carrasco (0-2) was tagged with the loss Friday against the Dodgers after allowing three runs on five hits and a walk while fanning six across five innings.
EDGE Analysis
Carrasco completed five innings for the first time this season and posted a season-high six strikeouts, so this outing could easily be qualified as his best start of the season thus far. However, that isn't saying much considering Carrasco has now given up at least three runs in three straight games. The veteran hurler owns a dismal 8.82 ERA across five starts this season.

EDGE Analysis
Carrasco allowed three home runs in two innings. He has struggled in his four appearances this season and has given up 10 runs in his last three innings. The deepest he's been able to pitch is 4.1 innings. The 34-year-old has a 10.32 ERA and 1.85 WHIP with 12 strikeouts in 11.1 innings this season.

Carrasco was charged with four earned runs on four hits and a walk over one inning in his start Tuesday against the Nationals, a game in which the Mets won, 8-7, after the suspended contest was resumed Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Even if inclement weather Tuesday hadn't cut Carrasco's start short, he likely wouldn't have been asked to work much longer after needing 33 pitches to record the game's first three outs. He was at least spared his first loss of the season, as the Mets roared back from a three-run deficit to claim a comeback victory. Carrasco tentatively lines up to make his next start Sunday at home versus the Dodgers.

Carrasco allowed two earned runs on five hits and no walks while striking out five across 4.1 innings Wednesday against the Marlins. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Wednesday's start marked Carrasco's second of the season. He didn't build upon his workload much, as he threw only five more pitches and got one additional out as compared to his season debut. As for his actual performance, Carrasco held the Marlins scoreless through four innings, but allowed three of the first four batters he faced to reach base to begin the fifth inning. He'll look to continue to build upon his length, though it's clear that Carrasco understandably remains rusty.
