CARLOS CARRASCO NEWS

Struggles in loss Carrasco (0-1) took the loss Monday, allowing five runs on four hits and four walks over four-plus innings against the Brewers. He struck out four.

Impact Carrasco didn't give up a run in the first two innings, but things unraveled quickly for the veteran right-hander. He gave up a run in the third before allowing a two-run homer to Brian Anderson in the fourth, and two more runs came across in the fifth before he exited the contest. Finding the strike zone was a problem for him throughout the contest, as he threw just 53-of-96 pitches for strikes and was behind in the count consistently. Carrasco is scheduled to work again Sunday in a start against the Marlins.

Throws in minor-league game Carrasco (elbow) threw 70 pitches Tuesday in a minor-league game, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Impact Carrasco was scratched from a minor-league start last week due to what was called "elbow maintenance." There doesn't seem to be much -- if any -- concern around the veteran right-hander, who is lined up to make his first regular-season start for the Mets next Monday at the Brewers.

Skipping minor-league outing Mets manager Buck Showalter said that Carrasco won't make his scheduled minor-league start Thursday due to "elbow maintenance," Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact The Mets don't seem to be even considering this an injury, as Carrasco is slated to make a minor-league start next Tuesday instead. The situation is an odd one, but Carrasco's elbow typically gives him a little trouble every spring. Barring any setbacks, fantasy managers should continue drafting him as they normally would. Carrasco holds a 4.15 ERA and 14:2 K:BB over 13 innings this spring.

Whiffs seven in Friday's outing Carrasco gave up one run on two hits and a walk over four innings in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Marlins. He struck out seven.

Impact It's the first time in four spring starts Carrasco didn't serve up a homer, which might be a more encouraging sign than the strikeouts -- even if it did come against a Miami lineup containing few regulars. The veteran right-hander worked up to 57 pitches (41 strikes) and has an impressive 14:2 K:BB through 13 Grapefruit League innings. Carrasco should get in one more spring start before Opening Day, when he'll be the No. 3 or No. 4 starter in the Mets' rotation.

Erratic outing against Rays Carrasco gave up three runs (two earned) on four hits over four innings in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays. He struck out four without walking a batter.

Impact The K's were encouraging, but Carrasco also served up two homers -- one to top Tampa prospect Kyle Manzardo, and the other to 26-year-old minor leaguer Niko Hulsizer. Carrasco has now given up four homers through nine spring innings to go with a solid 7:1 K:BB, but as yet there's little cause for concern with the veteran right-hander.

Left off wild-card roster Carrasco wasn't included on the Mets' roster for the NL Wild Card Series against the Padres on Friday, Deesha Thosar of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Carrasco posted a 4.21 ERA in six starts after returned from the injured list in early September, and he unsurprisingly isn't among New York's top-three rotation options for the wild-card series. The 35-year-old isn't guaranteed to be added to the roster later on should the Mets advance with Taijuan Walker and Trevor Williams also in the mix to start in a longer series.

Impact With the playoffs looming and the Mets having squandered their chance to win the NL East, Carrasco got an early hook to give him some extra rest. The veteran righty tossed 73 pitches (51 strikes) and left with New York ahead 4-2, missing his chance to collect his 16th win of the season. He'll wrap up a bounceback campaign with a 3.97 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 152:41 K:BB through 152 innings.
