Carrasco re-signed with Atlanta on a minor-league deal Friday.
After being DFA'ed on Tuesday, Carrasco cleared waivers and re-signed with Atlanta. The 39-year-old has made just two appearances in the big leagues this season and hasn't held a consistent roster spot in the majors since 2024.

Carlos Carrasco: Elects free agency
Rotowire
Carrasco elected to become a free agent Thursday, Lindsay Crosby of BravesToday.com reports.
Carrasco cleared waivers after being removed from Atlanta's 40-man roster and has opted for free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment. The veteran hurler did the same thing last week before re-signing, and the same thing could happen again.

Braves' Carlos Carrasco: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
Atlanta designated Carrasco for assignment Tuesday.
The veteran right-hander was designated for assignment by Atlanta in late April before re-signing a few days later and being added back to the big-league roster. Carrasco fired 1.1 scoreless innings Monday in Seattle and was unscored upon in his other appearance earlier this season, but he'll still lose his roster spot with Raisel Iglesias (shoulder) coming off the injured list.

Braves' Carlos Carrasco: Back with Atlanta
Rotowire
Atlanta selected Carrasco's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.
Carrasco elected free agency after clearing waivers Friday, but he seems to have re-signed with Atlanta and will now join the big-league bullpen, replacing Anthony Molina. Carrasco pitched a shutout inning during his lone big-league appearance this year and owns a 1.71 ERA through 21 frames in Triple-A.

Carlos Carrasco: Elects free agency
Rotowire
Carrasco elected to become a free agent Friday, Lindsay Crosby of BravesToday.com reports.
Carrasco chose free agency over an outright assignment from Atlanta, though Crosby hears there's a good chance the veteran righty returns on a new minor-league contract. The 39-year-old made one scoreless appearance for Atlanta and has posted a 1.71 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with an 18:5 K:BB through 21 innings this season at Triple-A Gwinnett.

Braves' Carlos Carrasco: Pushed off 40-man roster
Rotowire
Atlanta designated Carrasco for assignment Wednesday.
He'll give up his spot on the roster and in the bullpen to left-hander Dylan Lee (personal), who was reinstated from the paternity list. After being called up from Triple-A Gwinnett last Thursday, Carrasco went on to toss a scoreless inning out of the bullpen against the Nationals later that day but didn't make any appearances beyond that. Assuming he clears waivers and doesn't elect free agency, Carrasco will likely return to Gwinnett, where he'll presumably slot back into the rotation.

Braves' Carlos Carrasco: Returning to majors
Rotowire
Atlanta is expected to select Carrasco's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday, Barrett Sallee of 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.
Carrasco has made four starts at Triple-A Gwinnett this year and owns a 1.71 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 18:5 K:BB through 21 innings. He's now set to make his return to the big leagues but will likely operate in a long-relief role, as Atlanta will have an opening in its bullpen once Dylan Dodd (back) is officially placed on the injured list.

Braves' Carlos Carrasco: Added to big-league roster
Rotowire
Atlanta selected Carrasco's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.
Carrasco has been excellent so far this season with Gwinnett, putting up a 1.71 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with an 18:5 K:BB through 21 innings. The 39-year-old is slated to serve in a long-relief role for Atlanta.

Braves' Carlos Carrasco: Dismissed from camp competition
Rotowire
Atlanta reassigned Carrasco to minor-league camp Wednesday.
Atlanta has already lost four potential starters (Spencer Schwellenbach, Hurston Waldrep, AJ Smith-Shawver and Joey Wentz) to long-term injuries, but those absences aren't enough to clear room in the Opening Day rotation for Carrasco. Coming off a 2025 season in which he posted a 7.09 ERA over 11 appearances (nine starts) in 45.2 innings in the big leagues, Carrasco was forced to settle for a minor-league deal with Atlanta this winter. The 38-year-old righty will bring plenty of experience to the rotation at Triple-A Gwinnett but likely won't be in store for another look in the majors unless Atlanta loses more starters to injury.

Braves' Carlos Carrasco: Re-ups with Atlanta
Rotowire
Atlanta re-signed Carrasco to a minor-league contract Sunday.
After Atlanta designated Carrasco for assignment Thursday, the veteran right-hander elected free agency Saturday upon clearing waivers, only to re-sign with the organization a day later. Carrasco will likely slot into the rotation at Triple-A Gwinnett, but he may not be in line for another call-up to the big club before the end of the season after logging a 9.88 ERA and 2.12 WHIP in 13.2 innings over his three starts with Atlanta.

Carlos Carrasco: Reaches free agency
Rotowire
Carrasco elected free agency Saturday.
Atlanta designated Carrasco for assignment Thursday, and after clearing waivers, the 38-year-old chose to hit the open market rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Gwinnett. After being acquired from the Yankees on July 28, Carrasco made three starts for Atlanta and posted a 9.88 ERA and 9:7 K:BB across 13.2 innings before losing his spot in the rotation and the 40-man roster.

Braves' Carlos Carrasco: Shelled by former club
Rotowire
Carrasco allowed six runs on six hits and three walks while striking out two batters over two innings in a no-decision against the Mets on Wednesday.
Facing the team he pitched for from 2021 to 2023, Carrasco was unable to reach the third frame. The Mets got to him for three runs in each of the first two innings, with the biggest blow being a Juan Soto two-run homer. Carrasco needed 67 pitches -- only 36 of which were strikes -- to retire six batters, and he gave up four extra-base hits. After notching a quality start against the Reds in his Atlanta debut July 31, the veteran righty has surrendered 12 runs over 7.2 innings in his subsequent two outings. His season ERA now stands at 7.09 across 45.2 frames between Atlanta and the Yankees, and it's fair to wonder how much the 38-year-old has left in the tank.

Braves' Carlos Carrasco: Booted from 40-man roster
Rotowire
Atlanta designated Carrasco for assignment Thursday.
Atlanta appears set to proceed with Hurston Waldrep and Erick Fedde as its back-end rotation options after DFA'ing Carrasco, who allowed 15 earned runs on 22 hits and seven walks over 13.2 innings across his three starts with the club upon being acquired from the Yankees on July 28. Once he clears waivers, the 38-year-old right-hander could elect free agency in pursuit of an opportunity elsewhere, but it's possible that his time as a big-league pitcher may be over.

Braves' Carlos Carrasco: Struggles in no-decision
Rotowire
Carrasco didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Marlins, allowing six earned runs on nine hits and two walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out two.
Carrasco was tagged for five runs in the second inning, highlighted by a two-run homer from Graham Pauley, and never fully settled in. The veteran right-hander has been subpar since joining Atlanta, giving up nine earned runs on 16 hits over 11.2 innings through two starts. Carrasco's margin for error remains thin as he tries to solidify a spot in Atlanta's rotation after a string of injuries.
Carrasco is slated to start Thursday's game against the Marlins at Truist Park.
Carrasco will be awarded a second start for Atlanta after he came over in a trade with the Yankees and impressed in his team debut last Thursday. He took a no-decision in Atlanta's 12-11 win over the Reds that day, covering six innings and allowing three earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five. With the Atlanta rotation having been thinned by injuries in recent weeks and with Chris Sale (ribcage) not on track to return for a couple more weeks, Carrasco should get the opportunity to make additional starts for the club beyond Thursday.

Braves' Carlos Carrasco: Quality start in Atlanta debut
Rotowire
Carrasco didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Reds, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out five.
Carrasco got off to a shaky start, allowing three runs in his first three innings, though he'd ultimately settle in and blank Cincinnati over his final three frames to log his first quality start of the season. Carrasco was traded to Atlanta after struggling to a 5.91 ERA and 1.53 WHIP across 32 innings with the Yankees. The veteran right-hander figures to get a long look in the rotation as Atlanta currently has five starters on the 60-day IL. Carrasco currently lines up for a home matchup with the Brewers in his next outing.
Braves' Carlos Carrasco: Called up, will start Thursday
Rotowire
Atlanta selected Carrasco's contract and will have him start Thursday against the Reds in Cincinnati.
Acquired from the Yankees earlier this week, Carrasco didn't end up reporting to Triple-A Gwinnett and will end up slotting into the opening in the Atlanta rotation that was created when Grant Holmes (elbow) landed on the injured list Sunday. Over eight appearances (six starts) in the big leagues with New York earlier this season, Carrasco posted a 5.91 ERA and 1.53 WHIP over 32 innings, but the veteran right-hander had been pitching effectively lately at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Over his five outings this month, Carrasco submitted a 2.23 ERA and 0.93 WHIP while issuing just three walks over 32.1 innings.

Braves' Carlos Carrasco: Traded to Atlanta
Rotowire
Atlanta acquired Carrasco from the Yankees on Monday in exchange for cash considerations, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.
Atlanta desperately needs rotation arms as it deals with myriad injuries to starting pitchers, and the club has now acquired Erick Fedde and Carrasco within the last two days to bolster depth. Fedde will join Atlanta's rotation and start Tuesday in Kansas City, and there's a good chance Carrasco will do the same, perhaps as soon as Thursday in Cincinnati. Carrasco -- who would need to be added to the 40-man roster -- has pitched well lately at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, collecting a 2.23 ERA and 21:3 K:BB over 32.1 frames covering his last five starts.
