Earlier this month, the Braves designated Carlos Carrasco for assignment.
The Braves wrote (via X) on June 10: “The #Braves today selected RHP James Karinchak to the major league roster and designated RHP Carlos Carrasco for assignment. The club also recalled RHP JR Ritchie to Atlanta and placed RHP Tyler Kinley on the 15-day injured list, backdated to June 8, with right elbow inflammation.”
He has now been re-signed on a Minor League deal.
MLB.com wrote (on June 14): “Atlanta Braves signed free agent RHP Carlos Carrasco to a minor league contract.”
Carrasco will head to Triple-A (for now).
MLB.com added: “RHP Carlos Carrasco assigned to Gwinnett Stripers.”
Carrasco has had this exact type of thing happen several times this season.
The Braves continue to be able to retain him.
Right now, he is 0-0 with a 3.00 ERA in five games.
Also, as expected, the sun rose in the east this morning.
Carrasco’s MLB Career
Carrasco (39) is in his 17th MLB season.
He has also spent time with the Cleveland Guardians, New York Mets and New York Yankees.
Over 340 career games, Carrasco has gone 112-105 with a 4.22 ERA.
