The Braves and Yankees have agreed to a trade that’ll send righty Carlos Carrasco to Atlanta in exchange for a player to be named later or cash, reports Jack Curry of the YES Network. The veteran Carrasco is not on the Yankees’ 40-man roster after being designated for assignment and accepting an outright to Triple-A earlier this season.

Carrasco, 38, started six games and made a pair of relief appearances for the Yankees after signing a minor league deal over the winter. That contract came with a $1.5MM base salary, which will carry over to the Braves. He’s made 10 starts and a relief appearance with New York’s top affiliate in Scranton, pitching to a 3.27 ERA overall. That includes a particularly strong run since mid-June, during which Carrasco has logged 44 innings with a 2.45 ERA — albeit with a middling 16.6% strikeout rate. He’s limited walks at a strong 5.7% clip in that span and has a ground-ball rate north of 51.6% in Triple-A this year.

This is the second deal for a previously DFA’ed starter that the injury-ravaged Atlanta front office has drummed up in the past 24 hours. The Braves also added Erick Fedde last night and plugged him directly onto the 40-man roster. In doing so, they also announced that righty Grant Holmes was headed to the 60-day injured list due to an elbow injury.

Holmes became the latest injury casualty in a snakebit Braves season. Atlanta currently has Holmes, Chris Sale (fractured ribs), Reynaldo Lopez (shoulder surgery), Spencer Schwellenbach (fractured elbow) and AJ Smith-Shawver (Tommy John surgery) all on the 60-day injured list.

Presumably, Carrasco will be added to Atlanta’s 40-man roster if not immediately then in the near future. The Braves need all the help they can get simply navigating the rest of the season. Spencer Strider is still healthy atop the rotation, but the depth chart after him includes Bryce Elder, the just-acquired Fedde and recent waiver claim Joey Wentz.

More to come.
