The 2021 season hasn’t been easy for New York Mets’ starter Carlos Carrasco. He experienced elbow soreness during spring training, and then he tore his hamstring and missed the entire first half.
He already has nine starts under his belt since returning, but his ERA is a high 5.59. Naturally, it takes some time to establish some rhythm on the mound after such a long absence. And the Mets’ right-hander, who came to the team during the offseason alongside Francisco Lindor, has been better as of late, allowing three earned runs or fewer in his last five starts.
