Carlos Carrasco returns to Atlanta for a third time this season after being designated for assignment twice and re-added shortly afterward. He previously pitched an inning in late April, was DFAed six days later, was re-added in early May, pitched another frame, and was DFAed the next day. After signing a minor league deal, he is back again, providing a fresh arm with a limited major-league line and strong Triple-A performance. Victor Mederos threw two garbage-time innings after Chris Sale’s performance, retiring six straight batters. He recorded an 0/1 K/BB ratio while using a double play to face the minimum. The move is low-stakes roster depth for potential blowout scenarios.
"Carlos Carrasco returns to Atlanta for the third time this season. He pitched an inning in late April and was DFAed six days later, then re-added in early May, pitched another frame, and was DFAed the next day. And, after signing a minor league deal afterwards, he's back again. He returns to a pretty good line across garnering six outs in the majors, and he's also been carving up minor leaguers in Triple-A, but that's not really surprising given his age and experience."
"Victor Mederos threw two garbage time innings after Chris Sale fileted / flayed the Marlins. On the plus side, he went six up, six down. On the minus side, he had an 0/1 K/BB ratio in the process, leveraging a double play to face the minimum."
"This is a pretty low-stakes move just to have a fresh arm in case tonight's game is another blowout, but they can't all be the giant roster mishigas that happened earlier this week (with Drake Baldwin to the Injured List and Aaron Bummer getting the boot), either."
