Carlos Carrasco Expected to Join Yankees' Rotation Amid Injuries

News summary

Carlos Carrasco has emerged as a strong candidate for a spot in the Yankees' starting rotation following impressive performances during spring training, particularly with a 2.45 ERA and 1.09 WHIP over 11 innings. Injuries to key pitchers Gerrit Cole and Luis Gil have opened up two rotation spots, prompting Carrasco, who joined the team on a minor league deal, to capitalize on the opportunity. Manager Aaron Boone has praised Carrasco's solid mechanics this spring, noting his effective use of multiple pitches, which has led to striking out six batters in a recent outing against the Phillies. His main competition for the final rotation spot is prospect Will Warren, who has also shown strong performance. The decision on the fifth starter remains pending as the Yankees assess their options. Carrasco's resurgence is particularly notable given his struggles over the past two seasons with a 6.18 ERA.
