PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — New Mets pitcher Carlos Carrasco strained his right hamstring during conditioning after throwing one inning of batting practice Thursday and seems certain to miss the start of the season.
New York was waiting for an MRI for an indication on how long Carrasco will be sidelined.
“He was running sprints and he felt a pull,” said Mets manager Luis Rojas, who said he spoke with Carrasco while the pitcher was face down on a bed in the trainer’s room.
A right-hander who turns 34 on Sunday, Carrasco has has not appeared any any exhibition games this year.
