Carlos Carrasco Traded to Atlanta Braves for Cash Considerations

Veteran pitcher Carlos Carrasco was traded by the New York Yankees to the Atlanta Braves for cash considerations, providing much-needed depth to the Braves' injury-depleted pitching staff. The 38-year-old right-hander previously posted a 2-2 record with a 5.91 ERA in eight games for the Yankees before being designated for assignment in May. Since then, he has recorded a 4-2 record with a 3.27 ERA in 11 Triple-A outings, including a strong 4-0 record with a 2.23 ERA in five July starts.
