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.

Carrasco (0-1) allowed six earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out three across two innings, taking the loss to the Dodgers on Sunday.

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.

Carrasco didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Reds, allowing one run on three hits and a walk over four innings. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

Jonathan India greeted Carrasco with a solo homer on the first pitch he threw, but after that it was fairly smooth sailing for the right-hander as he made his long-delayed Mets debut. He was removed after 58 pitches (35 strikes), not surprising given that he didn't throw more than three innings in any of his rehab starts, but it was a very encouraging beginning to his 2021 campaign. Expect Carrasco to get stretched out further in his next outing, making him at least a candidate to qualify for a win if he gets a little more run support.

Manager Luis Rojas said Tuesday that the club is "pretty optimistic" Carrassco (hamstring) will be activated to start Friday against the Reds, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was reported Monday that the right-hander had a strong chance of making his season debut over the weekend, and now it appears that the veteran starter will take the ball Friday so long as he's given final clearance by the club's medical staff. The Mets will likely announce an official plan in the coming days, but if the 34-year-old does indeed start Friday, Rich Hill's next outing would likely be pushed to Saturday or Sunday. Carrasco is almost certain to be on some sort of strict pitch count in his return, given that he's yet to throw more than three innings in any of his rehab outings.

Manager Luis Rojas said Monday that Carrasco (hamstring) has a "very real" chance to start Saturday or Sunday against the Reds, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander impressed during his rehab start at Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday when he allowed two hits and no walks while striking out six in three scoreless innings. Rojas said that Rich Hill will start Friday's series opener against Cincinnati, but Carrasco could be on track to make his team debut Saturday or Sunday following his lengthy rehab process. The 34-year-old would likely be on a pitch count if he returns this weekend since he hasn't lasted more than three innings in any of his rehab appearances.

Carrasco (hamstring) allowed two hits and no walks while striking out six in three scoreless innings in Sunday's rehab start at Triple-A Syracuse.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco only needed 38 pitches to get through his outing Sunday, and he threw 32 strikes across three frames. Manager Luis Rojas was impressed with the right-hander's performance, and the skipper said that "there's a chance" Carrasco's next outing could come with the major-league club, according to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. Regardless of whether Carrasco makes his next appearance at Triple-A Syracuse or with the big-league club, he's only stretched out to pitch about four innings.

Carrasco (hamstring) will make another rehab start at Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Mets were considering activating Carrasco to make a major-league start Sunday or Monday, but he'll require at least one more rehab appearance before he returns from the 60-day injured list. The right-hander has made two rehab starts so far, but he allowed five runs on three hits and three walks while striking out one in 1.2 innings during his most recent outing. If Sunday's start goes well, Carrasco could potentially rejoin the big-league squad late next week.

Mets manager Luis Rojas said a decision hasn't been made whether Carrasco (hamstring) will be activated from the 60-day injured list to start Sunday's game against Toronto or remain on a minor-league rehab assignment, The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

The pitching-needy Mets could surely use another capable rotation arm after moving yet another starter (Robert Stock, hamstring) to the injured list Wednesday, but Carrasco may not be ready to make his New York debut quite yet after a rocky rehab outing with Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday. He needed 41 pitches (23 strikes) to record five outs, giving up five runs on three hits -- all home runs -- and three walks. The low pitch count and poor command suggest that Carrasco could probably benefit from at least one more tune-up at Triple-A, but the Mets' lack of healthy rotation alternatives could make the club willing to activate the 34-year-old this weekend.
