On Wednesday night, the Atlanta Braves will continue their series with the Chicago White Sox at Rate Field.
The Braves lost Tuesday’s game by a score of 6-5.
Carlos Carrasco pitched 1.2 innings, allowing four hits and one run.
Ahead of Wednesday’s game, the Braves designated Carrasco for assignment.
The Braves wrote (via X): “The #Braves today selected RHP James Karinchak to the major league roster and designated RHP Carlos Carrasco for assignment. The club also recalled RHP JR Ritchie to Atlanta and placed RHP Tyler Kinley on the 15-day injured list, backdated to June 8, with right elbow inflammation.”
17-Year Player Cubs Must Claim From Braves

The Chicago Cubs have dealt with a lot of injuries this season.
They would be an ideal team to claim Carrasco off waivers for cheap (and low-risk) pitching depth.
Despite turning 39 in March, he has gone 0-0 with a 3.00 ERA in five games this season.

Carrasco is also a strong locker room presence that would be an excellent addition to a Cubs team who has had an up-and-down year.
Walt Weiss said (via BravesVision) on June 7: “Cookie’s unbelievable. We love having him here… He hasn’t had many opportunities, but when he has, he’s done a really good job for us… You will not meet a better person than Cookie Carrasco… He’s as good as it gets.”

Before the Braves, Carrasco had stints with the Cleveland Guardians, New York Yankees and New York Mets (over 17 total MLB seasons).
He has gone 112-105 with a 4.22 ERA in 340 career games.
