Carrasco (1-3) was removed from Saturday's start against the Phillies due to a right thumb injury, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports. He took the loss after giving up two runs on five hits with five strikeouts and two walks across six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco suffered the injury when he fouled off a pitch while batting during the fifth inning, though he retook the mound and completed one more frame. The 34-year-old threw 56 of 82 pitches for strikes, and the only damage against him came via a pair of solo homers from Jean Segura. It's unclear if the thumb issue will affect Carrasco's next turn through the rotation, which lines up for next weekend at Milwaukee.
