Carrasco's (hamstring) velocity hit the mid-90s during his live batting practice session Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Carrasco participated in fielding drills Monday, and he was able to face hitters a day later. The righty could require several live BP sessions before he begins a rehab assignment, but manager Luis Rojas said Tuesday that Carrasco remains on track to make his Mets debut sometime in late July.

Lugo (2-1) picked up the win in Monday's 4-2 victory over the Brewers after striking out two in a perfect seventh inning.

The right-hander fired nine of his 11 pitches for strikes while carving up Milwaukee's 5-6-7 hitters, and Lugo was rewarded for his efforts when New York took the lead in the bottom of the frame. He's been his usual stalwart self since recovering from offseason elbow surgery, as Lugo has five holds and a save in 15 appearances with a 2.40 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 21:6 K:BB through 15 innings.

Megill didn't factor into the decision in Monday's 4-2 win over the Brewers after allowing one run on two hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out seven.

The only blemish on the rookie right-hander's line was a solo blast by Omar Narvaez in the fourth inning. Megill, an eighth-round pick in 2018, has looked very good through his first three big-league starts, delivering a 3.77 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 19:6 K:BB through 14.1 innings. The 25-year-old has mixed a devastating slider (41.7 percent whiff rate so far) and a work-in-progress changeup in with a 95 mph fastball. While he might find himself in the bullpen in the second half if Carlos Carrasco (hamstring) ever gets healthy, Megill is proving he belongs in the majors.

Woodruff (7-4) took the loss Monday as the Brewers were downed 4-2 by the Mets, allowing four runs on four hits and a walk over 6.1 innings. He struck out six.

The score was tied 1-1 heading into the seventh inning, but Woodruff hit a wall -- four of the first five Mets who came to the plate in the frame reached base, chasing the right-hander from the game. Woodruff has given up more than three runs in a start only twice this season, but both have come in his last four outings. He still sports a stellar 2.10 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 125:25 K:BB through 107.1 innings, and the 28-year-old lines up for one more turn through the rotation before the All-Star break, at home against the Reds this weekend.

Musgrove allowed five runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out four over five innings Monday against the Nationals. He did not factor into the decision.

Musgrove gave up all five runs over the first two innings and was able to settle in thereafter. He allowed a solo home run to Trea Turner in the first and then four runs on four hits and a walk during the second, when the Nationals batted around against him. Monday's outing makes it back-to-back starts in which Musgrove has allowed five runs, yet he hasn't lost either of them because of great run support. Outside of his recent struggles, the 28-year-old still has a 2.97 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 110:23 K:BB over 94 innings and will look to head into the All-Star break on a positive note when he faces the Rockies over the weekend.

Fried (5-5) took the loss in Monday's 11-1 rout at the hands of the Pirates, coughing up six runs on seven hits and two walks over five-plus innings. He struck out five.

The southpaw was keeping things close until he hit the wall in the sixth inning and served up four straight hits before getting the hook, with all four runners eventually coming around to score. Fried had a 2.63 ERA and 0.92 WHIP over his prior four starts coming into Monday, but he's still prone to occasional blowups -- in 13 trips to the mound this year, he's been tagged for five or more runs four times. Fried lines up to get one more start before the All-Star break this weekend in Miami.

Rogers recorded eight strikeouts and allowed two runs on six hits and zero walks across five innings during Monday's 5-4 win over the Dodgers. He did not factor in the decision.

The left-hander needed 96 pitches to record 15 outs, as the Dodgers fouled off 20 pitches to help drive up his pitch count. Rogers issued four walks and hit a batter in his previous start, but he showed better control Monday. He has a 2.22 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 118:32 K:BB across 97.1 innings and will face Atlanta this weekend in his final start before the All-Star break.

Buehler gave up four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks over five innings during Monday's 5-4 loss to the Marlins. He had six strikeouts and didn't factor in the decision.

Remarkably, it's the first time through 17 starts this season the right-hander failed to complete six frames. Miami struck for three runs during the third inning on three hits, an error and a hit-by-pitch and tacked on another run in the fourth. Buehler has a 2.49 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 107:24 K:BB across 108.1 innings, and he lines up for one more start before the All-Star break versus the Diamondbacks this weekend.

Davies allowed two runs on four hits and two walks with one strikeout in five innings in a no-decision versus Philadelphia on Monday.

While the Cubs lost 13-3, Davies actually had a fairly effective start. The two runs he allowed came on solo home runs by Andrew Knapp and Didi Gregorius in the third and fourth innings. The right-hander has now allowed four runs across his last 15 innings spanning three starts. He has a 4.28 ERA with a troubling 1.42 WHIP and 56:46 K:BB in 88.1 innings overall. Davies' next start lines up for this weekend's series versus St. Louis.

Gutierrez (4-3) allowed two runs on five hits and two walks with six strikeouts in six innings to earn the win Monday over Kansas City.

Gutierrez got back on track after allowing 14 runs over 15.1 innings his last three starts. The only runs against him Monday came on RBI doubles by Carlos Santana and Jorge Soler. This was also the third time in eight starts Gutierrez didn't allow a home run. The 25-year-old owns a 4.67 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 36:21 K:BB across 44.1 innings this season. He's projected to make his next start this weekend in Milwaukee.
