Assessing Carlos Carrasco's Value To The Mets

Manager Luis Rojas revealed to the media on Saturday that starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco began throwing off a slope (not the rubber) at Citi Field as he begins to "ramp up" his throwing program. Carrasco, who has been plagued by a torn hamstring, could offer a much-needed arm to stabilize the Mets' rotation and could potentially push them over the top as New York approaches the stretch run.
