• Yankees' Carlos Carrasco: Contract selected

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  The Yankees selected Carrasco's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday. Thanks to a combination of his impressive spring (1.69 ERA, 0.94 WHIP) and a flurry of injuries in New York's pitching staff, Carrasco will land a spot in the Yankees' Opening Day rotation after signing as a camp invitee in February. Although his Grapefruit League numbers were good, the 38-year-old still owns a 6.18 ERA and 1.54 WHIP in the regular season since 2023, so fantasy managers should approach Carrasco with caution. Gerrit Cole (elbow) was placed on the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move.

• Yankees' Carlos Carrasco: Expected to make team

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Carrasco is expected to be part of the Yankees' Opening Day roster, Jack Curry of YES Network reports. Carrasco did a great job standing out this spring, turning in a 1.69 ERA while striking out 15 batters in 16 innings across five appearances. His performance combined with injuries to Gerrit Cole (elbow), Luis Gil (lat), JT Brubaker (ribs) and Clarke Schmidt (shoulder) has seemingly resulted in the 38-year-old Carrasco breaking camp with the big club. Whether his spring success translates into the regular season will likely determine if the right-hander remains in the majors once the Yankees' injured arms start to return.

• Yankees' Carlos Carrasco: Another great audition for rotation

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Carrasco pitched five scoreless innings in a Grapefruit League game against Atlanta on Wednesday, allowing two hits and issuing one walk while striking out three batters. Carrasco allowed a single to the first batter he faced, then retired the next six hitters and ended up allowing just four baserunners in the outing. The veteran righty was efficient in needing just 54 pitches to get through five frames, and he lowered his spring ERA to 1.69. Carrasco also has a 0.94 WHIP and 15:7 K:BB over 16 innings during the exhibition slate, and he's likely to have earned a spot in New York's season-opening rotation due to his superb spring.

• Yankees' Carlos Carrasco: Likely to secure rotation spot

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Carrasco is likely to open the season in the Yankees' rotation, Jack Curry of YES Network reports. In camp as a non-roster invitee, Carrasco has pitched well during Grapefruit League action, holding a 2.45 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 12:6 K:BB over 11 innings. Injuries to Gerrit Cole (elbow) and Luis Gil (lat) have opened up two spots in the Yankees' rotation. Marcus Stroman is expected to fill one of the spots, and it sounds like Carrasco might be favored over Will Warren to occupy the other.

• Yankees' Carlos Carrasco: Continues strong spring

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  Carrasco pitched 3.1 innings in a Grapefruit League start against Philadelphia on Friday, allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out six batters. Carrasco gave up a second-inning run but retired five of the six batters he faced after that runner crossed the plate. He did hit a pair of batters, but overall this was another positive performance by the veteran righty. Carrasco has posted a 2.45 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 12:6 K:BB over 11 innings so far this spring. He's in camp on a minor-league deal and wasn't expected to compete for a spot on the Opening Day roster, but he's now a candidate for some early season starts due to injuries to Gerrit Cole (elbow) and Luis Gil (lat). It remains to be seen, however, if Carrasco will break camp with the big club or be asked to accept a minor-league assignment to begin the campaign.
