Carlos Carrasco has been designated for assignment by the Braves following a poor pitching performance. The Braves acquired Carrasco from the Yankees to bolster their rotation due to injuries. He started off well with a quality start but struggled in subsequent games, allowing six runs in each of his last two outings. In total, Carrasco accumulated a disappointing 9.88 ERA over 13 2/3 innings with Atlanta, leading to the decision to move him off the roster.
The Braves announced Thursday that they've designated right-hander Carlos Carrasco for assignment. Right-handed reliever Hunter Stratton has been recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to take Carrasco's spot on the roster.
Atlanta picked up Carrasco in a cash swap with the Yankees prior to the trade deadline. The Braves were simply in need of arms to log innings with so many members of their rotation on the injured list.
Carrasco's tenure with the Braves kicked off decently, as he tossed a quality start in a no-decision against the Reds on deadline day. The next two outings for Carrasco, however, were brutal.
Overall, he's pitched 13 2/3 innings with Atlanta and recorded a 9.88 ERA: 15 runs on 22 hits (three homers) and seven walks with only nine strikeouts.
