"Carrasco has pitched in two games with the Braves this year, logging 2 1/3 innings and holding opponents scoreless on one hit and no walks with a pair of strikeouts."
"At 39 years old, Carrasco is a good bet to again pass through waivers and return to Triple-A Gwinnett - whether by accepting an outright assignment or becoming a free agent and quickly re-signing."
"Teams are typically very open and straightforward with veterans in this type of situation, so Carrasco is surely on board with the setup."
Carlos Carrasco has been designated for assignment by the Braves, allowing closer Raisel Iglesias to return from the injured list. Carrasco has been designated three times this season and has cleared waivers each time, re-signing with the team. He has pitched well in limited appearances, holding opponents scoreless in the majors and performing effectively in Triple-A. At 39, he is likely to pass through waivers again and return to Triple-A, where he may continue to pitch well enough to attract interest from other teams.
