Braves DFA Carrasco Again | MLB News

The Braves are spinning their wheels again with Carlos Carrasco—designating him for assignment for the sixth time this season. It’s not a move born of frustration, but strategy: since he can’t be sent to the minors, the Braves DFA him to make room for younger arms, then re-sign him on a minor league deal. Carrasco, cool with the revolving door, gets to stay close to the majors while keeping his value intact. His recent outing was rough, but his Triple-A numbers are solid—proof he’s still got it. Meanwhile, Martín Pérez is sidelined with a forearm contusion from a line drive, but X-rays are clear and he’s expected back soon after the All-Star break.
