Overview
- The Braves selected the 39-year-old right-hander to the active roster after he elected free agency following his designation for assignment, with Anthony Molina optioned to Triple-A.
- He previously lost his 40-man spot when Atlanta reinstated left-hander Dylan Lee from the paternity list, a procedural move that sent him through waivers.
- In his lone big-league outing this season he worked a perfect inning, and at Triple-A he posted a 1.71 ERA over four starts with 18 strikeouts in 21 innings.
- He signed a one-year deal with the Yankees after a strong spring, made six starts, then was traded to Atlanta for cash consideration.
- Designation for assignment removes a player from the 40-man roster and allows other clubs to claim him, which often leaves veterans like Carrasco shuttling between Triple-A depth roles and short MLB stints.
