It’s not blatantly obvious, but Yankees righty Carlos Carrasco is pitching for his future in Detroit on Tuesday.
Granted, the 38-year-old veteran is no stranger to Comerica Park. Carrasco was a frequent visitor during his 12 years with Cleveland and went 6-5 with a 3.72 ERA in 15 games (13 starts) in the Motor City.
Fast forward to today, and Carrasco is attempting a comeback following two-and-a-half forgettable years with the Mets, plus another pitstop in Cleveland. The Yankees gave him a minor league deal and, a 1.69 spring training ERA and a bevy of injuries later, Carrasco made the Opening Day roster.
