Carlos Carrasco’s opt out from his minor league deal is today. But he’s not going anywhere. The Yankees plan to add him to their roster. Carrasco has had a strong spring w/ a 1.69 ERA and 15K in 16 IPs.

Fantasy Impact:

Carrasco’s 1.69 ERA and 15 strikeouts in 16 innings over 5 spring outings secure his Yankees spot, with Gerrit Cole, Luis Gil, JT Brubaker, and Clarke Schmidt sidelined. The 38-year-old capitalizes. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should roster him, banking on his spring form for early value in New York’s 2025 rotation until the injured pitchers return.
