The Yankees announced that Carlos Carrasco cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after being designated for assignment. The 38-year-old right-hander, who signed a minor league deal before spring training, had a strong March with a 1.69 ERA, but struggled in the regular season, posting nearly six earned runs per nine innings and a low strikeout rate. While Carrasco has been an upper mid-rotation starter throughout his career, he is now a depth arm with declining velocity, and the Yankees aim to retain his experience in the organization.
