Imminent return of Carlos Carrasco bodes well for the Mets

Mets manager Luis Rojas outwardly puzzled about what to do about Sunday's game against the Pirates. Would it be another bullpen game? Would he even consider asking Jacob deGrom to start on short rest? Or maybe, quietly, he was hoping that a fifth starter would magically materialize ahead of first pitch — the stopgap the Mets have been looking for what feels like most of the season.
