Carlos Carrasco is set to make his first start for the Yankees after a challenging season with Cleveland last year. Injuries within the team have opened a spot for him in the rotation. He performed well in spring training, but has expressed nerves about pitching for the Yankees, acknowledging the team's demanding environment. With notable players like Gerrit Cole out for the season, Carrasco sees this as a significant opportunity to demonstrate his capabilities, despite knowing pressure may increase with potential returns from injured teammates.
This is a big chance for me. I just have to go out there and pitch the same way I did in spring training. Compete every pitch.
I've been in the league a lot of years, but on Saturday, when I came out of the pen, I was a little nervous. Pitching for the Yankees is different.
