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.
