Carlos Carrasco News
New York Mets starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco could not come through in a big start Tuesday, allowing four runs on six hits and a walk in three innings to the lowly Miami Marlins. Carrasco struck out two batters. He also took the loss, dropping his season record to 15-7. This is the fourth start in his last six that Carrasco couldn't go more than four innings. He has a decent 3.95 ERA and 1.32 WHIP with 149 strikeouts in 148 innings this season, but that won't be much solace to fantasy managers and Mets fans.
New York Mets starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco was superb on Thursday as he struck out 11 batters in his club's 7-1 win over the Pirates. The veteran allowed one run on four hits while walking a pair in the 104-pitch effort as he took his record to 15-6 on the season. Carrasco retired the last eight batters he faced with his only hiccup on the scoreboard coming off a Michael Chavis RBI double in the second inning. He now holds a serviceable 3.70 ERA and 1.29 WHIP with 143 K through 141 IP in his bounce back season as he sets his sights on the Brewers in his next matchup.
New York Mets pitcher Carlos Carrasco (oblique) will return from the injured list to start Sunday against the Washington Nationals. He threw a bullpen session and simulated game last week but will return to action without a rehab outing. The 35-year-old could be on a pitch count in his first start back. He owns a 3.92 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, and a 124:33 K: BB across 126 1/3 innings in 2022. The veteran right-hander is expected to replace David Peterson in the starting rotation. Fantasy managers can stream Carrasco in most league formats in a plus matchup against the Nationals on Sunday.

Carlos Carrasco returned to form in 2020 following a battle with Leukemia in 2019 which limited him to just 80 innings pitched that season. In 2020 with Cleveland, Carrasco posted a 2.91 ERA, a 1.21 WHIP, and struck out 82 batters in 62 IP over 12 starts. His underlying 2020 pitching metrics largely mirrored his 2018 metrics when he struck out 231 batters over 192 IP and posted a 3.38 ERA and 1.13 WHIP. This included a 29.3% strikeout rate (top-23% of MLB), as well as an overall exit velocity, barrel rate, and launch angle allowed which were right around or slightly below his 2018 numbers. Managers may be leery of Carrasco's uncharacteristic 2020 walk rate of 9.6% (up from 4.7% and 5.5% in 2019 and 2018, respectively). Don't be. This walk rate increase resulted from a 24 IP span in August in which he walked 15 batters. Carrasco appeared to right the ship in September when he only allowed 10 free passes over 32 IP. Heading into 2021, Carrasco should see a bump to his fantasy ceiling pitching for the New York Mets. If Carrasco can remain healthy, he should provide managers with 170-190 IP, elite ratios, along with, dare we say, 15 or more wins now that the Mets have added Francisco Lindor to the lineup and bolstered their bullpen with Trevor May. Should Carrasco maintain his excellent strikeout rate, courtesy of a slider, changeup, and curveball which all had whiff rates north of 34% in 2020, he should post 200+ strikeouts in 2021. With an ADP of 69, Carrasco projects as a high-end fantasy SP2 despite the move to the more competitive N.L. East.
