Depleted Braves acquire pitcher Carlos Carrasco from Yankees for cash considerations
The Braves acquired Carrasco a day after losing Grant Holmes to right elbow inflammation on Sunday. Holmes was originally placed on the 15-day injured list but moved to the 60-day IL after Erick Fedde was acquired from the St. Louis Cardinals.
With the news involving Holmes, all five of Atlanta's opening day rotation are on the 60-day injured list. Atlanta lost at Texas 8-1 Sunday, has dropped five in a row and is 12 games behind in the NL wild-card race.
Carrasco was 2-2 with a 5.91 ERA in eight games for the Yankees, who started him six times before designating him for assignment on May 6.
Carrasco was in spring training on a minor league deal and could have opted out but he was re-signed after posting a 1.69 ERA in five spring training outings, including four starts. After accepting his assignment to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre, the 38-year-old right-hander was 4-2 with a 3.27 ERA in 11 games (10 starts) and was 4-0 with a 2.23 ERA in five July starts.
Originally acquired by the Cleveland Guardians from the Phillies for Cliff Lee in July 2009, Carrasco is 112-105 with a 4.18 ERA in 332 games (283) starts for Cleveland, the New York Mets and Yankees.
He led the American League in wins in 2017 when he was 18-6 with Cleveland and also was named the 2019 AL Comeback Player of the Year following a return from leukemia.
The Yankees made their third trade since Friday after acquiring Ryan McMahon from the Rockies and Amed Rosario from the Nationals.

Derek Jeter on Yankees' Recent Struggles: 'Way too many mistakes'
Are the New York Yankees built to return to the World Series? The Captain doesn't think so unless they fix those errors and mistakes. "They make way too many mistakes... You can't get away with making that number of mistakes against great teams," Yankees great and FOX Sports' analyst Derek Jeter said during Saturday's rain delay at the MLB Speedway Classic. The Yankees made a flurry of trade deadline deals to improve their bullpen, bringing in relievers David Bednar from the Pittsburgh Pirates, Jake Bird from the Colorado Rockies and Camilo Doval from the San Francisco Giants. But all three struggled in Friday's brutal 13-12 loss to the Miami Marlins, which included several blown leads. The Yankees had won 79 straight games when scoring 10-plus runs, which was the longest streak in MLB since 2019."New team, new surroundings, it takes awhile to adjust," Jeter said about the new relievers. But the Yankees lost again on Saturday to the Marlins in a 2-0 shutout that included a basrunning mistake by Jazz Chisholm Jr when he was caught not paying attention that forced a double play. "You can't continue to do it. You have to clean it up. I mean, it's that simple, there's no excuses," Jeter said. "You have to play better. If you don't play better, you're not going to go very far."

Yankees' Luis Gil set to make season debut after return from injury
The New York Yankees received positive news Sunday about the awaited return of one of their talented pitchers. New York's rotation has dealt with injury after injury this season, with some pitchers like Gerrit Cole never even touching the field this season. The players who have had to step up for the team have performed well, helping lead the team to its 60-51 record, but it seems the wait is over for one player's return. Reigning American League Rookie of the Year Luis Gil is set to make his season debut after being activated off the injured list, according to Bryan Hoch. "Nearly a full year after becoming the first Yankees pitcher to win the American League's Rookie of the Year Award since Dave Righetti in 1981, Gil is ready to get back on the mound in a Major League game, set to make his season debut Sunday against the Marlins," Hoch wrote. "He was officially reinstated from the 60-day injured list Sunday morning, with Jonathan Loáisiga placed on the 15-day IL (retroactive to Saturday) with right mid back tightness." "Gil has been out of action since Feb. 28, when he cut a bullpen session short after just five pitches at the Yankees' Spring Training complex in Tampa, Fla. An MRI revealed a high-grade right lat strain that the team initially said would keep Gil from throwing for at least six weeks."Gil had a standout rookie season, going 15-7 in 29 starts with a 3.50 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 151.2 innings pitched. The 27-year-old pitcher struck out 171 batters and was set to make a major impact on the Yankees' rotation before getting injured. Gil's return is sure to help boost New York's pitching down the stretch. More MLB:

Premier League Summer Series: Stream Bournemouth vs. West Ham From Anywhere
Bournemouth and West Ham play out their third and final fixture of the Premier League Summer Series on Sunday as the preseason tournament moves on to Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game as it happens, wherever you are in the world, and how to use a VPN if it's not available where you are. Andoni Iraola's Cherries made a bright start to their US tour with a comfortable 3-0 win over Everton, but the team's preseason optimism was put in check after a disappointing 4-1 defeat at the hands of Man United in Chicago on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the Hammers bounced back from a narrow 2-1 loss to Manchester United at MetLife Stadium in their tournament opener with an impressive 2-1 comeback win over Everton. That result puts the east Londoners level on points and goal difference with Bournemouth in second. Man United is at the top of the table. Today's match offers the chance for the current West Ham forward line to prove a point, with boss Graham Potter having bolstered his attacking options yesterday with the signing of former Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson. Bournemouth takes on West Ham on Sunday, Aug. 3, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. ET local time, 11 a.m. PT in the US. That makes it an 7 p.m. BST start in the UK and an 2 a.m. AEST kickoff in Australia on Monday morning. German striker Niclas Füllkrug scored a second-half long-range winner for West Ham in a 2-1 victory over Everton on to watch Bournemouth vs. West Ham in the US without cable Sunday's Bournemouth vs. West Ham game will be broadcast on NBC and can also be streamed via Peacock. You'll need a Peacock Premium or Premium Plus account to catch the game live. How to watch the Premier League Summer Series 2025 from anywhere with a VPN If you're traveling abroad and want to keep up with all the Summer Series action while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming. It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds, and can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security. However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN use to access region-specific content. If you're considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform's terms of service to ensure compliance. If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider's installation instructions, ensuring you're connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN usage is crucial.
