Carrasco (hamstring) is scheduled to throw two up-downs in a live bullpen session Saturday, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

It will be the right-hander's second live session after facing hitters Tuesday, and he could embark on a rehab assignment next week if he has no issues Saturday. The Mets are targeting a return in late July, and Carrasco will be able to make a few rehab starts and still return by the end of the month.

Carrasco participated in fielding drills Monday, and he was able to face hitters a day later. The righty could require several live BP sessions before he begins a rehab assignment, but manager Luis Rojas said Tuesday that Carrasco remains on track to make his Mets debut sometime in late July.

Carrasco (hamstring) participated in fielding drills Monday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Following Monday's fielding practice, Carrasco is expected to throw his first live batting practice sometime this week. While the right-hander could require several live BP sessions, he's expected to begin a rehab assignment shortly after. If he remains on track in his recovery, Carrasco could make his team debut prior to the end of July.

Carrasco (hamstring) will throw a full bullpen session Saturday, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco threw his first full bullpen session recently, and the team was pleased with his performance. The right-hander will have another throwing session as a result, and he could progress to facing hitters at some point if he performs well once again. Manager Luis Rojas said that the team hopes Carrasco could return from the injured list sometime in late July or early August.

Carrasco (hamstring) has been throwing full bullpens recently, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco was throwing off the slope of the mound in late June, but he's been able to increase his intensity recently as he continues to recover from a right hamstring strain. Although the right-hander's throwing program was paused in mid-June, he's made progress across the past few weeks and could face hitters at some point in the near future if he continues to trend in the right direction.

Carrasco (hamstring) threw a light bullpen session Saturday, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco had been throwing off flat ground in the outfield recently, but he threw off the edge of the mound during Saturday's throwing session. While the right-hander didn't throw off a full slope Saturday, he's now starting a progression once again after his throwing program was paused in mid-June.

Carrasco (hamstring) was cleared to restart his throwing program Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco is ready to ramp up again after he received a platelet-rich plasma injection last week that apparently helped clear up the lingering pain he had been feeling in his strained right hamstring. According to DiComo, Carrasco was able to take part in a more intensive game of catch than is typical for rehabbing pitchers, so the 34-year-old could end up resuming mound work sooner than anticipated following his brief shutdown. The Mets maintain hope that Carrasco will be able to return from the 60-day injured list to make his 2021 debut at some point in July, most likely after the All-Star break.

Carrasco received a platelet-rich plasma injection in his strained right hamstring in the past few days, which explains why his throwing program has been paused, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Mets said that Carrasco's pause wasn't due to a setback, though the fact that he needed additional treatment for an issue that he's been dealing with since mid-March contradicts that notion. Even before the injection, he was tracking toward a return in late June or early July, so the pause probably pushes him toward a mid-July return if all goes well.

Manager Luis Rojas said Wednesday that Carrasco (hamstring) is no longer throwing off a mound, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rojas said that Carrasco hasn't suffered a setback, but the right-hander is working on regaining his strength in his hamstring before he ramps up his intensity. The 34-year-old remains without a timetable to return, but a better idea of his status could come into focus once he's able to get back on the mound.

Carrasco (hamstring) has resumed throwing bullpen sessions, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco still doesn't have a clear timetable for his return, and the Mets' focus right now is on the right-hander strengthening his hamstring. "We want to get him to the point where there's no setback, nothing that can get in his way," manager Luis Rojas said. "We've checked out his hamstring and there's still some strengthening to do so there's nothing that stops him or holds him or creates another injury down the road." Until that process is completed to the team's satisfaction, Carrasco won't begin a new rehab assignment. The right-hander had built up to six innings in simulated games in early May before being shut down again, but he'll need to begin the process of getting stretched out over again once he's finally cleared to face hitters.
