2024 Fantasy Outlook
Carrasco pitched for Cleveland between 2009-20 and will return for his second stint with the franchise after three years with the Mets. Carrasco put up a 6.80 ERA and 1.70 WHIP through 90 innings across 20 starts last season with the Mets, and his campaign was cut short in September by a fractured finger. Given the strength of Cleveland's rotation, it's unlikely the 36-year-old lands a starting job, but he could operate as a multi-inning reliever for the big-league club if he turns in a solid spring.

Will open in Cleveland rotation
Carrasco will open in the Guardians' rotation and make his season debut Sunday against the Athletics, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The presumption after it was announced Carrasco had made the team was that it would be as part of the rotation, and that has now been confirmed. His stay in the rotation could be a brief one, depending on how quickly Gavin Williams (elbow) makes it back, but Carrasco should log at least a couple starts. The 37-year-old held a 6.80 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 66:38 K:BB over 90 innings (20 starts) for the Mets last season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could become available?
Carrasco could become a trade chip if the Mets opt to sell at the deadline, writes Jim Bowden of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Carrasco has limped to a 6.19 ERA across 10 starts, striking out a career-low 15.1 percent of opponents. The 36-year-old would likely need a sizable bounce back to accrue any meaningful trade value.

Carrasco's first season with the Mets in 2021 was a disaster as injuries limited him to 12 starts, and he struggled when available with a 6.04 ERA. The right-hander bounced back last season and picked up 15 wins with a 3.97 ERA and 152:41 K:BB across 152 innings (29 starts). He improved both his strikeout (23.6 percent) and walk rates (6.9 percent), and his 46 percent groundball rate was his best since 2018. Carrasco is entering his age-36 season, and his availability can't be guaranteed given his extensive injury history. However, he remains a strong back-end piece for the Mets' rotation after the team exercised his $14 million club option for 2023.
