Braves re-sign Carlos Carrasco once again

Player Stats

Braves re-signed RHP Carlos Carrasco to a minor league contract.

The saga continues. Carrasco returns for yet another stint with Atlanta after pitching to a respectable 3.68 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 6/1 K/BB ratio across 14 2/3 innings over seven appearances this season. He’ll continue operating in low-leverage mop-up duty out of the Braves bullpen.

Braves sent RHP Carlos Carrasco outright to Triple-A Gwinnett.

The cycle continues. Carrasco is poised to elect free agency and re-sign with Atlanta on a new minor league pact. He’ll remain stationed on the doorstep of the majors until he’s needed to gobble up innings as a mop-up reliever. Nothing to see here.

Braves designated RHP Carlos Carrasco for assignment.

You know the drill by now. This is the fifth time the Braves have designated Carrasco for assignment this season. He will likely clear waivers and be signed to a minor league deal.

Braves selected the contract of RHP Carlos Carrasco from Triple-A Gwinnett.

Once again Carrasco will join the Braves’ bullpen to add a fresh arm for Sunday’s series finale against the Mets. The 39-year-old righty has posted a 3.68 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and a 6/1 K/BB ratio over 14 2/3 innings. It’s likely that once he appears in a game, he’ll be designated for assignment and ultimately re-sign on a minor league deal, allowing the cycle to continue.

Braves sent RHP Carlos Carrasco outright to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Carrasco declined the assignment. He’s a free agent. He’ll quickly be re-signed. You know the drill.

This is now the fourth time Carrasco has been designated for assignment by the Braves. He will clear waivers and re-sign a minor league deal with them. As he has three other times this season.

Braves selected the contract of RHP Carlos Carrasco from Triple-A Gwinnett.

He’s back. Atlanta has found their new Jesse Chavez and it’s a role Carrasco seems fine with embracing at this advanced stage of his career. The 39-year-old veteran is back for his fifth different stint with the club this season as a fresh bullpen arm ahead of the nightcap contest of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Giants.

Braves sent RHP Carlos Carrasco outright to Triple-A Gwinnett.

The cycle continues. Carrasco has been designated for assignment three times by the Braves this season, and each time he has passed through waivers unclaimed and returned as extra depth in the minor leagues.

This is now the third time Carrasco has been designated for assignment by the Braves this season. He will likely pass through waivers and then re-sign a minor league contract to remain with the team.

Braves selected the contract of RHP Carlos Carrasco to the major league roster.

The 39-year-old Carrasco has twice been designated for assignment by the Braves this season and signed back to the team. This will now be the third time they have selected his contract to the big league roster. Carrasco has allowed two runs on six hits in 7 1/3 innings while striking out four and not walking a batter. It remains to be seen how long he’ll last on the roster this time.

ATL Relief Pitcher #59

Braves designated RHP Carlos Carrasco for assignment.

Carrasco has been jettisoned from Atlanta’s pitching staff after allowing two runs over four innings in a long relief outing against the Red Sox earlier this week. The 39-year-old is a strong bet to clear waivers and should wind up back at Triple-A Gwinnett as organizational depth until Atlanta needs him again.

The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal reports the Braves have expressed interest in Red Sox RHP Sonny Gray.

The complicating factor here is that the Red Sox may not sell if they turn things around — three wild card teams have been a disincentive for early trades — and they seem to be showing some sparks of life lately. Gray hails from Nashville and would presumably waive his no-trade clause to go to the Braves. It would seem to be a good match, given Atlanta’s banged up rotation, if the Red Sox do sell.

The Athletic’s Dan Hayes reports there’s still no timeline for Mick Abel (elbow) to return.

Abel underwent a bone shaving, per Abel, and is optimistic that he can return at some point this year. Abel doesn’t necessarily need to be kept in fantasy leagues if you’re in an IL crunch, but it sounds like there’s a real chance he returns.

Banda finishes with a 4.46 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 33/15 K/BB ratio in 34 1/3 innings for the Twins. 33 in August, Banda said he expects to be available for spring training. The Twins have arbitration rights on Banda and can bring him back if they so choose.

MLB.com’s Scott Merkin reports Munetaka Murakami (hamstring) should be back in the White Sox lineup on Friday.

Murakami, who has been out since late May, has played two straight games in Triple-A Charlotte. If this report is true, Murakami would get a handful of at-bats this weekend before the All-Star Break hits. Merkin speculates that Jacob Gonzalez being demoted would seem “the likely move.”

Yankees GM Brian Cashman said Giancarlo Stanton (calf) had a new injury in the same calf area, and added that he just started running again.

Stanton’s “setback” was a different injury to the same calf area. Regardless, it’s good news that he’s running again. We won’t get a good timetable on his comeback until he actually starts doing baseball activities, and Stanton figures to need a long rehab assignment to be ready.

Jordan Walker will participate in the 2026 Home Run Derby.

He joins known competitors Jac Caglianone, Junior Caminero, and Ben Rice. Walker has had a breakout first half of the season, hitting .294/.355/.534 with a career-high 21 homers. He leads the league with 70 RBI, and has even chipped in 12 stolen bases in becoming one of fantasy baseball’s biggest success stories.

Freddy Fermin (head) went 1-for-4 with an RBI on Wednesday for Triple-A El Paso.

He began a rehab assignment there last night and figures to be activated in the near future, though it’s worth noting he DHed and has not caught in a game yet.

Yankees GM Brian Cashman said Aaron Judge (rib) will get new imaging done during the All-Star break.

This broadly keeps the expected timeline in line. Judge hasn’t begun baseball activities yet and figures to need some time to ramp up. Assuming the imaging comes back well enough for him to begin activities, Judge is probably on pace for a late July or early August return.

Jarren Duran is not in Boston’s starting lineup for Thursday afternoon’s game against the White Sox.

It’s a bit of a surprise given how good Duran has been of late — he even inched his batting average above .200 briefly on Tuesday — but the Red Sox are going full bench lineup today against LHP Anthony Kay. Nate Eaton is in left field.

Jorge Polanco is not in New York’s starting lineup for Thursday’s game against the Royals.

It appears to just be a routine day off, though Polanco could see less than a full share of at-bats going forward if he’s limited to DH duties. Francisco Alvarez is DHing this afternoon after catching last night. Polanco is 2-for-8 with an RBI in his first two games back from an extended IL stay.
