The New York Mets will be without one of their best starters, Carlos Carrasco, for at least a few weeks. He began experiencing mild elbow soreness early last week and had to stop his throwing program, but after a few days of rest, he had progressed all the way to live batting practice a couple of days ago.
Everything went fine when Carrasco, who the Mets acquired together with shortstop Francisco Lindor in January, threw to live hitters. However, it was a running drill afterward the one that took away the first few weeks of his season, as he suffered a right hamstring tear.
