Overview

  • Atlanta designated Carlos Carrasco for assignment on August 14 after he allowed 15 runs in 13 2/3 innings across three starts.
  • Carrasco was acquired from the Yankees on July 28 for cash considerations to eat innings as multiple starters landed on the injured list.
  • The 38-year-old’s 9.88 ERA with the Braves underscored his struggles to provide stability in a depleted rotation.
  • Hunter Stratton was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett despite poor results in limited 2025 action, reinforcing uncertainty over internal pitching options.
  • With Carrasco gone and injuries persisting, the Braves continue to seek dependable arms to bolster their rotation.
