US EditionDepleted Braves acquire pitcher Carlos Carrasco from Yankees for cash considerations
ATLANTA, GEORGIA, JUL 28 – The Braves face major setbacks with all starting pitchers injured and poor offense, falling 17 games behind in their division and 12 games out of the wild-card race.
- The Atlanta Braves acquired veteran pitcher Carlos Carrasco from the New York Yankees for cash considerations on Monday amid severe pitching shortages.
- After Grant Holmes was placed on the 60-day injured list due to right elbow inflammation, all of the Braves' starting pitchers from Opening Day are now sidelined on the same long-term injured list.
- The Braves began the year as strong contenders for the championship but have since struggled, sitting 16 games below a.500 record and 17 games behind the division-leading Mets.
- Carrasco, a 38-year-old right-hander with a 5.91 ERA over 32 innings this year and a 3.78 ERA at Triple-A, has pitched eight major league games for the Yankees this season.
- The acquisition reflects the Braves' desperation for pitching depth as they face their worst season since losing 93 games in 2016 and a depleted roster needing reinforcements.
