The Yankees announced that Carlos Carrasco<\/a> went unclaimed on waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre. The veteran righty has more than enough service time to decline the assignment in favor of free agency, though the team did not provide any indication that he\u2019ll do that. He\u2019d been designated for assignment on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Carrasco, 38, signed a minor league deal a couple weeks before the opening of Spring Training. He posted a 1.69 ERA over 16 innings in March. Between the strong camp and injuries to Gerrit Cole<\/a> and\u00a0Luis Gil<\/a>, Carrasco opened the season in Aaron Boone\u2019s rotation. He couldn\u2019t carry the spring success into the regular season. Carrasco surrendered nearly six earned runs per nine across 32 innings. His 17.6% strikeout rate was a few percentage points below league average, while he gave up seven home runs (1.97 per nine).<\/p>\n

That\u2019s more or less a match for Carrasco\u2019s 2023-24 production. He held rotation spots with the Mets and Guardians, respectively, for the bulk of those two years. He hasn\u2019t missed bats and has struggled to keep the ball in the park. Carrasco allowed a combined 6.18 ERA in 41 starts over that stretch. His 1.75 HR\/9 rate over the past three seasons is the highest among active pitchers who have logged at least 200 innings.<\/p>\n

Carrasco has been an upper mid-rotation starter for the majority of his career. He\u2019s now a depth arm as his velocity has declined into his late 30s. He\u2019s still a solid strike-thrower and a highly-respected veteran, so the Yankees would presumably be happy to keep him in the organization at Scranton. Brandon Leibrandt<\/a> and\u00a0Jake Woodford<\/a> are the most experienced non-roster depth starters with the RailRiders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Yankees announced that Carlos Carrasco went unclaimed on waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre.
