Carlos Carrasco DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco was designated for assignment on Tuesday after posting a 5.91 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, and 10.6 percentK-BB% overeight appearances (six starts, 32 IP). The team recalled Yerry De Los Santos in a correspondingmove, but as a reliever, the move doesn't fill the void in the rotation left by Carrasco. It's not clear what the Yankees' rotation plans are from here, althoughthe team does have Allan Winans at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre who recently made headlines for striking out 10 of the first 11 batters he faced back on April 23, currently sporting a 0.00 ERA,1.07 WHIP, and a 5:24 BB:K in 14 IP. Regardless, look for Carrasco to latch on somewhere else, but he's probablybest left to the waiver wire wherever that ends up being.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco earned the win on Thursday, striking out five in a 9-7 victory over the Diamondbacks. He allowed three runs on five hits and two walks. The veteran is looking to rebound this year after posting a 5.64 and 6.80 ERA over the past two seasons. Things could become complicated once Clarke Schmidt is ready to return, as there's no guarantee Carrasco will stick in the rotation after that point. His next start is currently scheduled to be next week in Detroit.

With the way New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone has raved about veteran right-hander Carlos Carrasco's swing-and-miss stuff in camp, indications are that Carrasco is likely to open the regular season in the team's starting rotation, according to YES Network's Jack Curry. The 37-year-old has an opt-out on March 22, but Curry thinks Carrasco will remain with the team because of the fact that they need starting depth due to the injuries to Gerrit Cole (elbow) and Luis Gil (lat). Pitching prospect Will Warren has also been deserving of a rotation spot, but he has minor-league options remaining, and the Yankees apparently don't want to lose Carrasco. The veteran hurler has a 2.45 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in Grapefruit League play while striking out 12 and walking six in 11 innings. If Carrasco wins the final rotation spot in the Bronx, he'll merely be a low-upside, matchup-based streamer in deep leagues and DFS.
