Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Carlos Carrasco, 39-year-old veteran right-handed pitcher, has been designated for assignment by the Atlanta Braves for the second time in 2026. This is part of a recurring pattern where Carrasco operates as a de facto 41st man on the roster—being called up when needed and cycling through waivers/free agency. In 2026, he has appeared in 2 MLB games (2.1 innings) with a 0.00 ERA, 1 hit, 0 walks, and 2 strikeouts. He has also pitched well in Triple-A Gwinnett with a 1.71 ERA over 21 innings (4 starts). After clearing waivers, Carrasco elected free agency and may re-sign with Atlanta or pursue opportunities elsewhere.
Strengths
- + Excellent performance in limited MLB action (0.00 ERA in 2.1 IP)
- + Strong Triple-A numbers (1.71 ERA over 21 innings)
- + Respected veteran with extensive major league experience
- + Proven ability to clear waivers and secure new opportunities
- + Effective in relief/spot start roles when called upon
Weaknesses
- - Age 39 limits long-term viability
- - Repeated DFA cycles suggest limited role/depth chart status
- - Minimal MLB innings pitched in 2026 (only 2 games)
- - Uncertainty regarding future employment
- - Pattern of roster instability
