Carlos Carrasco’s torn right hamstring, which the Mets initially hoped would cost him six to eight weeks, is now guaranteed to keep him sidelined for significantly longer than that. The team on Thursday transferred Carrasco to the 60-day injured list, which will prevent him from returning before May 31.
A source said that while Carrasco did not suffer a setback such as a re-tear of the hamstring, he also hasn’t been able to push the muscle as much as he would like. Carrasco has been pitching in simulated games at the Mets’ Spring Training complex, but he also must prove that he can field his position before the team will consider activating him. When the Mets pushed Carrasco in workouts, his hamstring did not respond as they had hoped.
