Carrasco (undisclosed) arrived at camp Friday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carrasco missed the early part of camp for undisclosed reasons, with the Mets noting only that his absence wasn't injury-related. Whatever the reason, it's unlikely to significantly affect his readiness for Opening Day, as he still has over a month to prepare.

Carrasco was absent from the start of the Mets' full-squad workouts Monday but is not battling an injury, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carrasco was one of four Mets who were away from the team for what manager Luis Rojas called "non-injury-related" reasons. All four are expected back by the end of the week, so Carrasco's preseason preparation shouldn't be significantly impacted.

Carrasco and Francisco Lindor were sent from the Indians to the Mets on Thursday in exchange for a package that includes Andres Gimenez and prospects, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After battling leukemia and struggling to a 5.29 ERA in 2019, Carrasco bounced back in a big way last year, posting a 2.91 ERA in 12 starts. He'll slot in right behind Jacob deGrom atop the Mets' rotation and should see a small boost to his fantasy value from the move to the National League, provided the universal designated hitter isn't brought back for another season.

Carrasco gave up four earned runs on two hits and three walks while striking out six in three innings Wednesday in a series-clinching loss to the Yankees. He was not involved in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
On paper, it looked like Cleveland had the slight edge with Carrasco facing Masahiro Tanaka, and that was indeed the case, as Tanaka gave up six runs in four innings. Cleveland's bullpen allowed six runs to score while New York's relievers allowed just three runs, which ended up being the difference as the Yankees won 10-9. Carrasco is under contract with Cleveland for at least the next two seasons.

Carrasco allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out eight across six innings in a no-decision against the Pirates on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Carrasco had a solid performance as his one slip-up was allowing a two-run homer to Gregory Polanco in the fourth inning. The 33-year-old struck out at least eight batters for the second straight start and was able to pitch himself out of a bases-loaded jam in the sixth to keep the Indians in the game. Carrasco has rebounded tremendously in 2020 with a 2.91 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 82:27 K:BB across 68 innings and is a big reason the Indians are considered serious contenders to win the World Series.

Carrasco (3-4) allowed one hit and three walks over seven scoreless innings in a win over the Tigers on Sunday. He struck out 11.
EDGE Analysis
It was reported that Carrasco experienced some calf tightness during his start Tuesday, but the right-hander showed no ill effects Sunday. In fact, he turned in a top-25 performance in all of the majors this season by Game Score (83). Carrasco now has a 2.90 ERA and 74:24 K:BB in 62 innings this year. He lines for one more start during the regular season, Friday at home against the Pirates.

Carrasco experienced calf tightness during Tuesday's start against the Cubs, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old allowed three runs over six innings Tuesday and was expected to also pitch the seventh inning, but he then informed the coaching staff of the calf tightness. It appears to be a minor issue as pitching coach Carl Willis said the team expects Carrasco to make his next turn through the rotation Sunday in Detroit, though it's worth keeping an eye on his status over the next couple days.

Carrasco allowed three earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out five across six innings Tuesday against the Cubs. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Carrasco was solid for the majority of his start, as he allowed only a solo homer through four innings. He stumbled a bit in the fifth frame, allowing four consecutive hits that accounted for two additional runs. Still, It was Carrasco's fourth consecutive quality start, and he's posted a 1.80 ERA and 1.16 WHIP with a 24:6 K:BB across 25 innings in that span. He's in line to take his next turn through the rotation Sunday at Detroit.

Carrasco (2-4) took the loss Wednesday against the Royals after allowing one run on seven hits with six strikeouts and zero walks over seven innings.
EDGE Analysis
Kansas City was able to scratch across one run on seven singles, but it was enough to saddle the right-hander with the loss since Cleveland's offense was silent. Carrasco has surrendered only two runs with a 19:5 K:BB across his past 19 innings and will look to keep things rolling next week against the Cubs.

Carrasco allowed one run on six hits and three walks while striking out seven over six innings in a no-decision against the Brewers on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Carrasco did his best to keep up with Corbin Burnes on the other side, but the bullpen spoiled his strong effort, with three relievers combining to allow six runs. The right-hander endured some struggles in the middle of August, but he has bounced back with just one earned run allowed in his last two starts (12 innings). Overall, Carrasco has a 3.43 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 52:20 K:BB in 42 innings. He's in line for a favorable home matchup against the Royals next week.
