The Mets’ starting rotation has a new casualty. Carlos Carrasco, who has struggled early in the season, was placed on the injured list Tuesday with right elbow inflammation, the team announced.
Carrasco pitched Saturday in Oakland after indicating a day earlier that he was feeling good physically. Carrasco joined Justin Verlander and Jose Quintana among Mets’ starting pitchers on the IL.
3/5ths of our starting rotation are now on the injured list and we haven’t even gotten to May yet.
