ATLANTA (AP) — New York Mets pitcher Carlos Carrasco is expected to miss up to a month after straining his left oblique in a game this week against Atlanta. The 35-year-old Carrasco is 13-5 with a 3.92 ERA in a resurgement season for the NL East leaders. The Mets said Carrasco had an MRI on Tuesday that showed a low-grade strain on the left side. The club said a typical timeline for this sort of injury was three to four weeks. Carrasco gave up three runs in two innings in a 13-1 loss to the Braves. The Braves trail New York by 4 1/2 games in the division.
