The New York Yankees designated right-hander Carlos Carrasco for assignment Tuesday.

The 38-year-old Carrasco made the rotation coming out of spring because of injuries to Gerrit Cole and Luis Gil.

However, the veteran pitcher struggled in his first season with the Yankees, authoring a 5.91 ERA with 1.53 WHIP and 25 strikeouts over 32 innings (six starts).

Carrasco also played with the Cleveland Guardians and New York Mets over his 16-year career.

The Yankees recalled right-hander Yerry de los Santos from Triple-A to fill the open spot on the active roster.
