Carlos Carrasco is expected to miss up to a month after straining his left oblique, the team announced Tuesday in another setback for its rotation. Carrasco gave up three runs in two innings in a 13-1 loss to the Braves, before departing due to injury. With Carrasco going on the 10-day injured list, the Mets called up right-handers Stephen Nogosek and R.J. Alvarez from Triple A Syracuse. Spot starter David Pederson will likely fill in for Carlos in the rotation.
Also, pitcher Adonis Medina was optioned to Syracuse. Other moves saw Eduardo Escobar scratched from the lineup for Tuesday’s game after working out on the field before batting practice, citing an oblique injury which will
likely require an IL stint, creating roster space for the Mets top prospect(NO18 in MLB) in Brett Baty to triumphantly get the call to the big leagues. The No. 12 overall pick in the 2019 draft is hitting a combined .315 with 19 homers and 60 RBIs for Double-A Binghamton and a brief stint in Syracuse. Escobar is hitting .216 with 12 homers and 44 RBIs. Deven Marrero replaced Escobar in the lineup at third base in what will be his lucky moment in the sun while Baty makes his way to Atlanta.
