Ahead of their second of three games in Los Angeles, the Mets have placed veteran right-handed starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco on the injured list with right elbow inflammation and recalled right-handed relief pitcher Jeff Brigham from Triple-A Syracuse. Carrasco’s IL stint is retroactive to April 16.
The team also announced that fellow right-handed reliever Dennis Santana has been outrighted to Syracuse, which means he cleared waivers after being designated for assignment and will remain in the organization.
In three starts this season, Carrasco has thrown 13.2 innings with an abysmal 8.56 ERA and a 7.
