The Yankees made one other commerce on Monday, sending Carlos Carrasco to the pitching-needy Braves.
Atlanta acquired the veteran right-hander for money concerns. Carrasco, a 16-year veteran, had been pitching for the Yankees’ Triple-A affiliate.
Carrasco earned a spot within the Yankees’ injury-riddled, Opening Day rotation with a robust spring coaching, however he has struggled within the majors this yr and fell out of favor as a depth possibility in New York. The 38-year-old has a 5.91 ERA over 32 massive league innings, and he displayed among the worst stuff in baseball over eight video games (six begins) with the Yankees.
A former Guardian and Met, Carrasco had a 3.78 ERA over 52.1 innings at Triple-A.
Whereas Carrasco is much faraway from his finest self – he had a 3.27 ERA from 2014-2018 – the Braves are determined for arms. Their total Opening Day rotation is on the 60-day injured record, as Chris Sale, Reynaldo López, Spencer Schwellenbach, Grant Holmes and AJ Smith-Shawver are all out.
Carrasco wasn’t the one starter with an ERA over 5.00 that the Braves traded for not too long ago, as in addition they acquired Erick Fedde from the Cardinals for a participant to be named later or money concerns on Sunday.
St. Louis not too long ago designated Fedde for project.
