The reigning champions strike big as they land a big time acquisition in Carlos Carrasco
Carrasco has a very high pedigree, having pitched 1,700 IP in MLB with a very respectable ERA just over the 3’s
Ahead of Tuesday’s game, news came out that the Braves had released Carlos Carrasco from their organization.
MLB.com wrote: “Gwinnett Stripers released RHP Carlos Carrasco.”
Carrasco had most recently been in Triple-A.
That said, he has been moved around by the Braves a lot this season.
At the MLB level, the 39-year-old has gone 0-0 with a 5.94 ERA in eight games.
Carrasco could still be a good addition to another team in need of pitching depth (if the Braves don’t bring him back again).
It will be interesting to see where he lands before the end of the 2026 season.
Looking At Carrasco’s Career
Carrasco is most known for his time with the Cleveland Guardians where he spent the first 11 years of his career.
He went 18-6 with a 3.29 ERA in 32 starts (in 2017).
Carrasco would later return to the Guardians for one season (2024).
Carrasco has also had stops with the New York Mets and New York Yankees (in addition to Atlanta).
Over 343 career games (286 starts), he has gone 112-105 with a 4.24 ERA.
While Carrasco never made an All-Star Game, he has had a very productive career, as he is in the middle of his 17th MLB season.
