The experiment with Carlos Carrasco has come to an end.
On Tuesday, the Yankees decided to designate the veteran pitcher after he posted a rather disappointing 5.91 ERA across six starts and eight appearances.
Since they were already planning to skip Carrasco’s turn in the rotation, the team now finds itself in need of a fifth starter for their upcoming game in Seattle.
Ryan Yarbra showed promise as a long relief option, but he isn’t really suited to start regularly.
Meanwhile, Alan Winance has been performing remarkably well at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, not allowing any runs in his last 14 innings pitched.
In light of Carrasco’s struggles, the Yankees recalled right-handed reliever Yerry de los Santos.
It seems they recognized that despite Carrasco’s noteworthy 16-year career, he wasn’t reliable anymore, especially at 38 years old.
