Mets manager Luis Rojas said a decision hasn't been made whether Carrasco (hamstring) will be activated from the 60-day injured list to start Sunday's game against Toronto or remain on a minor-league rehab assignment, The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
The pitching-needy Mets could surely use another capable rotation arm after moving yet another starter (Robert Stock, hamstring) to the injured list Wednesday, but Carrasco may not be ready to make his New York debut quite yet after a rocky rehab outing with Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday. He needed 41 pitches (23 strikes) to record five outs, giving up five runs on three hits -- all home runs -- and three walks. The low pitch count and poor command suggest that Carrasco could probably benefit from at least one more tune-up at Triple-A, but the Mets' lack of healthy rotation alternatives could make the club willing to activate the 34-year-old this weekend.
