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.

Carrasco received an injection Wednesday for his ailing right elbow and will be shut down for 3-to-5 days, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco had already been placed on the injured list Tuesday and more will be known about a potential timetable when he's re-evaluated after the shutdown period. Joey Lucchesi is a candidate to take Carrasco's spot in the Mets' rotation.

Carrasco was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to April 16, with right elbow inflammation.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco had struggled to an 8.56 ERA through 13.2 innings (three starts) this season with the Mets and is now in for an extended absence. It's worth noting that he also battled elbow trouble toward the end of spring training. Jeff Brigham has been called up to work out of the bullpen. New York will have to add another starter this weekend.

Carrasco did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk over five innings during a 3-2 win over the Athletics. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Aside from a bumpy second inning, Carrasco was able to keep the bases clear and got through five innings for the first time this season. The right-hander had allowed at least one home run and multiple walks in each of his first two starts, so Saturday's outing was certainly a step in the right direction. Carrasco's next start is tentatively scheduled for New York's upcoming four-game set in San Francisco.

Carrasco (0-2) took the loss during Sunday's 7-2 loss to Miami, allowing six runs on six hits and three walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out one.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco gave up a three-run shot to Bryan De La Cruz in the first and a two-run homer to Jazz Chisholm in the fifth before getting replaced. The veteran right-hander has now allowed three homers through his first 8.2 innings this season after surrendering 17 across 29 starts (152 innings) in 2022. Carrasco and Mets Manager Buck Showalter both attributed the pitcher's lack of velocity in his first start to the pitch clock, so it may take awhile for him to get adjusted to the new rules this season. Carrasco is tentatively scheduled to pitch next against the Athletics, which should be an advantageous matchup.
