Carrasco (0-1) took the loss in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Yankees after giving up a run on five hits and five walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander allowed at least one baserunner in every inning he pitched, though he was able to limit the damage to a single run despite all the traffic. Carrasco has failed to last five frames in each of his past two starts, though he still has a solid 3.66 ERA for the season. His 1.66 WHIP and 11:9 K:BB are less encouraging, however.

Carrasco and the Guardians will not play Friday after their game versus the Yankees was postponed by inclement weather.

EDGE Analysis

The game will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on Saturday. Carrasco and Clarke Schmidt -- who had been slated to start Friday -- will presumably be pushed back a day.

Carrasco came away with a no-decision Saturday in a 3-1 win over the Twins, allowing one run on one hit and three walks over three innings. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

The 37-year-old right-hander avoided hard contact, but he needed 78 pitches (42 strikes) to record only nine outs, forcing the Guardians to use six different relievers to finish off the victory. Carrasco has a 4.50 ERA and 9:4 K:BB through his first 8.0 innings in 2024, and his job security may have improved this weekend following the announcement that Shane Bieber (elbow) would miss the rest of the season. Carrasco lines up for a home start against the Yankees next weekend.

Carrasco didn't factor into the decision Thursday against Oakland, lasting five innings and yielding three runs on six hits and a walk. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco was solid outside of a rough first inning when he allowed two runs on three hits. While the 37-year-old is expected to stick in the Guardians rotation until Gavin Williams (elbow) returns from the 15-day IL, there shouldn't be high expectations for Carrasco after generating an ugly 6.80 ERA in 90 innings with the Mets last season. He's tentatively scheduled to make his next start against the Twins in Minnesota.

The Guardians selected Carrasco's contract from Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco's addition to the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster was merely a formality after he was informed earlier in the week that he would be included in the Guardians' Opening Day rotation. The 37-year-old right-hander is lined up to make his first start Sunday in Oakland.

Carrasco will open in the Guardians' rotation and make his season debut Sunday against the Athletics, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The presumption after it was announced Carrasco had made the team was that it would be as part of the rotation, and that has now been confirmed. His stay in the rotation could be a brief one, depending on how quickly Gavin Williams (elbow) makes it back, but Carrasco should log at least a couple starts. The 37-year-old held a 6.80 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 66:38 K:BB over 90 innings (20 starts) for the Mets last season.

Carrasco has been informed that he has made the Guardians' Opening Day roster.

EDGE Analysis

He has not yet been officially added to the 26-man and 40-man rosters, but Carrasco has been told he'll head north with the big club. The veteran right-hander could even open in the rotation while Gavin Williams (elbow) recovers. Carrasco has posted a 2.57 ERA and 9:6 K:BB over 14 innings this spring.

Carrasco (finger) will start Saturday's Grapefruit League opener against the Reds, Nick Camino of WKYC Channel 3 Cleveland reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco underwent surgery to repair a fractured finger in September but is ready for game action early in spring training. The 36-year-old joined the Guardians as a non-roster invitee after he posted a 6.80 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 66:38 K:BB over 90 innings (20 starts) for the Mets last season.

Carrasco (finger) signed a minor-league contract with the Guardians on Saturday and received an invitation to major-league spring training, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco pitched for Cleveland between 2009-20 and will return for his second stint with the franchise after three years with the Mets. Carrasco put up a 6.80 ERA and 1.70 WHIP through 90 innings across 20 starts last season, and his campaign was cut short in September by a fractured finger. Given the strength of Cleveland's rotation, it's unlikely the 36-year-old lands a starting job, but he could operate as a multi-inning reliever for the big-league club if he turns in a solid spring.

Carrasco was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a fracture of his right fifth finger and is expected to be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks, Pat Ragazzo of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco had been listed as the probable starter for Wednesday's series finale at Washington, but the Mets will now have to pivot after the veteran right-hander fractured the pinky on his throwing hand Sunday in a weight room incident. It'll be a season-ending setback for Carrasco, who finishes with an ugly 6.80 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 66:38 K:BB across 90 innings (20 starts) with New York. He is scheduled to become a free agent in November.
