Carrasco (elbow) was activated from the 15-day injured list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Carrasco will rejoin the Mets rotation after missing over a month due to a bone spur in his elbow. He threw only 52 pitches in his final minor-league rehab start Sunday with Double-A Binghamton, and while that was enough to cover four scoreless frames, he could see a limited workload in his return.

Carrasco (elbow) will likely return to the Mets' rotation Friday versus the Guardians, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco threw 52 pitches over four scoreless innings in his second and final minor-league rehab start Sunday with Double-A Binghamton. He's logged only 13.2 innings this year with the Mets to the tune of an ugly 8.56 ERA, but the veteran right-hander might be able to offer better results moving forward after receiving a cortisone injection for a painful bone spur in his pitching elbow.

Carrasco (elbow) is expected to make another rehab start Sunday for Double-A Binghamton or Triple-A Syracuse before likely returning from the 15-day injured list next week, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco landed on the IL on April 16 with a swollen right elbow, with a follow-up MRI later revealing a bone spur. He could eventually require surgery to address the matter, but he opted to treat the injury with a cortisone injection and appears to have responded well since starting up his throwing program in the final week of April. He was cleared to make his first rehab start for Binghamton on Tuesday and gave up one run over three innings while building up to 46 pitches. Assuming he can push his pitch count into the 60-to-75 range Sunday, Carrasco should be stretched out enough to fill a starter's role for the Mets by the end of next week.

Carrasco (elbow/illness) will make a rehab start with Double-A Binghamton on Tuesday, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco had been slated for his first rehab outing over the weekend, but that had to be scratched because he was under the weather. Evidently, he's feeling better now and will take the ball Tuesday with Binghamton. The Mets had anticipated Carrasco needing just one rehab start before returning, although it's unclear whether that's still the case after he was delayed a bit. He's been out since mid-April with a bone chip in his pitching elbow.

Carrasco (elbow) won't make his scheduled rehab start due to illness, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

A bone spur in his elbow sent Carrasco to the injured list after just three starts, though he appeared to be nearly ready for his return. He was expected to make a rehab appearance over the weekend before returning to the active roster next week, but that timeline has now been pushed back, presumably by at least one start.

Carrasco (elbow) will make a rehab start this weekend and could rejoin the Mets' rotation the following week, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Mets had some hope that the veteran right-hander would skip a rehab assignment, but the team will instead proceed more cautiously with his recovery. Carrasco threw a multi-inning bullpen session April 30, so he could be able to handle a significant pitch count on his rehab outing. New York remains without an announced starting pitcher for this Sunday's home game against the Rockies.

Carrasco (elbow) is making progress and could rejoin the Mets' rotation next week, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco landed on the injured list a couple weeks ago with a small bone chip in his right elbow. He was given an injection and resumed throwing off a mound late last week. It's not clear yet which exact day Carrasco could return, but he looks like he could avoid a rehab assignment. Once activated, Carrasco would likely bump either Joey Lucchesi or Tylor Megill from the rotation.

Carrasco (elbow) threw a successful bullpen session Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was his first time throwing off a mound since he went on the injured list April 16 due to pain caused by a small bone chip in his right elbow. Carrasco received an injection April 19, which has apparently helped him get over the hump. He could return to the Mets' rotation in the early part of May if all continues to go well with his side work.

Carrasco (elbow) will throw in two or three days, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco was shut down for three to five days after receiving an injection Wednesday to address the swelling caused by a small bone chip in his elbow. His updated timeline puts him at the back of that range or slightly behind, but that doesn't seem to be due to any setbacks. Whether or not Carrasco will be able to return soon or if he'll be shut down again for surgery will depend on how his throwing sessions go. Joey Lucchesi took his spot in the rotation and delivered a strong start Friday against the Giants.

Carrasco is dealing with a small bone chip that is causing swelling and discomfort in his right elbow, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco was given an injection in the elbow Wednesday, which he hopes will allow him to rejoin the Mets' rotation in about two weeks. If the shot doesn't alleviate the pain in his elbow, the veteran right-hander will require surgery, which would knock him out for a much longer period of time. The Mets have yet to name a replacement in the rotation for Carrasco, but Joey Lucchesi looks like a strong candidate to be called up from Triple-A Syracuse when a fifth starter is needed Friday in San Francisco.
