Report: Yankees to retain RHP Carlos Carrasco

The New York Yankees are planning to add right-hander Carlos Carrasco to their big-league roster, YES Network reported Saturday morning.Signed to a minor league deal in February, Carrasco was eligible to opt out and explore other opportunities before electing to remain in pinstripes with a Yankees team that is inundated with injures.�The Yankees are in need of a healthy arm with ace Gerrit Cole (Tommy John surgery) sidelined for the season, Luis Gil (high-grade lat strain) out for the next three-plus months and Clarke Schmidt (shoulder, back) likely starting the campaign on the injured list.Carrasco, 38, has fared well this spring, posting a 1-0 record with a 1.69 ERA and 15 strikeouts in 16 innings.
