After reporting elbow soreness last week, Carlos Carrasco certainly gave the New York Mets quite the scare. They acquired him alongside shortstop Francisco Lindor, with big hopes of filling a void in the pitching rotation.
Thankfully, Carrasco himself tried to calm everybody down after the initial reaction and the associated fear with elbow soreness in a pitcher. He explained that it is not uncommon for him to feel it at this point of the year and that a couple of days of rest would do the trick.
Apparently, and fortunately for the Mets, that appeared to be the case, at least up until this point.
