New York Mets starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco (elbow) is expected to play catch on Sunday after recently having experienced some soreness in his elbow. While the Mets have indicated Carrasco's elbow issue isn't much of a concern, expect them to exercise a considerable amount of caution with their newly acquired starting pitcher. It remains questionable as to whether Carrasco will be ready by Opening Day, particularly since he was a late arrival to spring camp because of medical testing related to his 2019 battle with leukemia. Fantasy managers should monitor developments and be prepared to make roster moves in the event Carrasco is forced to miss some time at the start of the regular season.--Nick Ritrivi - RotoBaller

With the way New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone has raved about veteran right-hander Carlos Carrasco's swing-and-miss stuff in camp, indications are that Carrasco is likely to open the regular season in the team's starting rotation, according to YES Network's Jack Curry. The 37-year-old has an opt-out on March 22, but Curry thinks Carrasco will remain with the team because of the fact that they need starting depth due to the injuries to Gerrit Cole (elbow) and Luis Gil (lat). Pitching prospect Will Warren has also been deserving of a rotation spot, but he has minor-league options remaining, and the Yankees apparently don't want to lose Carrasco. The veteran hurler has a 2.45 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in Grapefruit League play while striking out 12 and walking six in 11 innings. If Carrasco wins the final rotation spot in the Bronx, he'll merely be a low-upside, matchup-based streamer in deep leagues and DFS.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Free-agent right-hander Carlos Carrasco signed a minor-league deal with the New York Yankees on Monday. Carrasco went 3-10 with a bloated 5.64 ERA (4.93 FIP) in 103 2/3 innings over 21 starts for the Cleveland Guardians last season and will turn 38 in March. The deal that Carrasco signed includes an invitation to major-league spring training. The 37-year-old was booted from Cleveland's 40-man roster in September, making him a free agent. Given how much he has fallen off in recent years, he figures to open the 2025 campaign at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to provide the Yankees with starting-pitching depth. The veteran Venezuelan hurler pitched for the New York Mets from 2021-23 and had a 5.21 ERA (4.55), a 1.46 WHIP and 268:97 K:BB in 295 2/3 innings over 61 starts.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Cleveland Guardians right-hander Carlos Carrasco (hip) threw three innings in a minor-league rehab start for Double-A Akron on Friday and allowed two runs on three hits while striking out three. Carrasco threw 41 pitches (27 for strikes) and felt OK afterwards. In 21 starts for Cleveland in 2024, he has gone 3-10 with a 5.64 ERA. "He's building back up. We want to make sure his hip is feeling better and everything is healed up," manager Stephen Vogt said on Sept. 3. "We want to get Cookie healed back up to be an option for us to start." The 37-year-old veteran went on the 15-day injured list back on Aug. 9 with a strained left hip and is slowing working his way back towards a late-season activation. However, with Carrasco struggling this year and with rookie Joey Cantillo holding his own as the No. 5 starter, it seems more likely that Carrasco will return to a bullpen role when he's fully healthy.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

The Cleveland Guardians placed right-hander Carlos Carrasco (hip) on the 15-day injured list on Friday with a left-hip strain and recalled left-handed pitching prospect Joey Cantillo from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move. Cantillo is starting Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the hosting division-rival Minnesota Twins in just his third big-league start. Carrasco surrendered four runs in 4 1/3 innings on Wednesday in a loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks and will now miss at least the next two weeks. The 37-year-old veteran should have already been on the waiver wire in mixed fantasy leagues. In his return to Cleveland this year, Carrasco has gone 3-10 with a 5.64 ERA and 1.39 WHIP with a weak 19.9% strikeout rate in 21 starts covering 103 2/3 innings pitched.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
