4:22pm: The Yankees officially announced the selection of Carrascos contract this afternoon. Right-hander Gerrit Cole was transferred to the 60-day injured list to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for Carrasco. That move is hardly a surprise, given that the clubs ace will mi s the 2025 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery earlier this month. 11:31am: The Yankees will be selecting s minor league contract, as reported earlier today by . Yankees GM Brian Cashman confirmed the Carrasco move to reporters (including ) while also noting that right-handers and will both be starting the season on the injured list. Schmidt has pitched in just one game this spring, and was tagged for three runs in 1 2/3 innings in that lone outing. His next start was scratched due to sorene s in his throwing Clarke Schmidt Jersey shoulder, and while the righty has since thrown a bullpen se sion and a live batting-practice se sion without discomfort, the IL stint will allow Schmidt extra time to properly build up his arm strength. It looks as if Schmidts injury is fairly minor, which comes as some relief to a New York rotation that has already lost (Tommy John surgery) and (lat strain) to much longer-term problems. Cole will mi s the entire season and Gil is expected to be out until at least June, plus depth starter will mi s time recovering from fractured ribs. All the injuries have rather quickly reduced what was an area of depth for the Yankees, opening up rotation spots for , , and now Carrasco. As an , Carrascos minor league deal contained opt-out clauses for today, May 1, and June 1 unle s the Yankees added him to the big league roster. In making the team, Carrasco now locks in a guaranteed salary of $1.5MM, plus his deal includes another $1MM in potential incentives. It makes for a very nice birthday present for Carrasco, who just turned 38 yesterday. While the rotation injuries obviously led to Carrascos selection, it shouldnt be overlooked that Carrasco helped his own cause with an impre sive spring camp, posting a 1.69 ERA acro s 16 innings of work. While all Spring Training numbers should naturally be taken with a grain of salt, it represents a nice early sign that the right-hander might have some gas left in the tank as he approaches his 16th Major League season. A longtime anchor of the Cleveland rotation, Carrasco spent the 2021-23 seasons with the Mets before returning to the Guardians for the 2024 campaign. While he showed some signs of his old form in 2022, the last four years have been mostly a struggle for Carrasco, who has a 5.32 ERA acro s his last 399 1/3 innings in the big leagues. That includes a 5.64 ERA in 103 2/3 frames with the Guards last year, after Cleveland added Carrasco to its Opening Day roster on the heels of another minor league pact. Hamilton has been sidelined by an infection for most of Spring Training, and he didnt make his Grapefruit League debut until he made a one-inning appearance on Thursday. He might not need a ton of ramp-up time in preparation for a relief role, yet hell get at least 12 extra days (a 15-day IL placement with three days of backdating factored in) to get himself fully ready. Hamilton has a 3.10 ERA over 95 2/3 bullpen innings since coming to New York in the 2022-23 offseason, establishing himself as a reliable member of the relief corps.
