ATLANTA — The Mets will be without one of their most successful starting pitchers for roughly half the remaining season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

On Tuesday, an MRI revealed that \ufeffCarlos Carrasco\ufeff a low-grade left oblique strain during his start the previous night. Injuries of that type typically require 3-4 weeks to heal, making it unlikely Carrasco will return until early to mid-September.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Before departing Tuesday’s 13-1 loss to the Braves after two innings, Carrasco had given the Mets a noteworthy run of success on the mound, going 5-0 with a 1.69 ERA in seven starts from July 3-Aug. 9.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In Carrasco’s absence, the Mets are likely to slide David Peterson, who had already been scheduled to start one half of Saturday’s doubleheader against the Phillies, back into the rotation on a more permanent basis. Peterson, who rejoined the club Monday in Atlanta, is 5-2 with a 3.17 ERA as a starter. Swingman Trevor Williams is now an option to pitch the other half of that doubleheader against the Phillies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Of note, Carrasco’s contract includes a vesting option worth $14 million for next season if he reaches 170 innings. That will now be nearly impossible for Carrasco, who is at 126.1 innings and isn’t likely to make more than five or six starts the rest of the way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
