The New York Yankees plans to add right-handed Carlos Carrasco to his big-league list, reported Yes Network Saturday morning.
The undersigned to a smaller league agreement in February was Carrasco entitled to opt out and explore other possibilities before choosing to stay in Pinstripes with a Yankees team that is abunded with injuries.
Yankees is in need of a healthy arm with Ace Gerrit Cole (Tommy John Surgery) sideways for the season, Luis Gil (high-quality Lat-Stam) out over the next three plus months and Clarke Schmidt (Axel, back) probably started the campaign on the injured list.
Carrasco, 38, has gone well this spring and published a 1-0 record with a 1.69 era and 15 strikes in 16 rounds.
He went 3-10 with a 5.64 era in 21 starts for Cleveland Guardians last season.
Carrasco is 110-103 with a 4.14 era in 324 career games (277 starts) in 15 seasons, all three of which have come in Cleveland. Carrasco went 19-20 with a 5.21 era in 61 starts with New York Mets for three seasons (2021-23).
