Carlos Carrasco Returns to Atlanta Braves

0:00On May 2nd, the Atlanta Braves just brought back Carlos Carrasco to their 26-man active roster after a quick free agency detour. They optioned right-hander Anthony Molina to Triple-Age winning, to make room, on Carrasco slots into one of their open spots on the 40-man roster. Earlier this week on May 1st, Carrasco cleared waivers and elected free agency right after the Braves designated him for assignment when reliever. Dylan Lee came off the paternity list. Carrasco first joined Atlanta last July in a cash deal from the Yankees, then inked a couple minor league contracts since. He wrapped up last season's strong at Triple-A and jumped back with the Braves in the off season. This year in four Triple-A starts, the 39-year-old righty has shown, with a 1.71 ERA, over 21 innings, a 20 point. 7% strike-out rate, and just 6% walks, his one big league outing was a perfect inning with a strike-out. Carrasco mixes a 92-mile per hour fastball with more slider and change of these days to baffle hitters, even if his major league ERA sits in.

1:046.33 since 2023. Expect him to provide depth as the Braves keep pushing forward. That's the story for today. MLB News Today, Driven by AI.
