Carlos Carrasco returned to Cleveland after three seasons with the Mets, making his debut as the starter against Oakland on Sunday.
Carrasco is the first starting pitcher to leave the team, play for someone else, and then return since Jason Bere and Brian Anderson both returned during the 2003 season.
Bere had been with the team in 2000, coming over from Milwaukee in the Bob Wickman/Richie Sexson trade. Anderson was with the team in 1996 and 1997 before Arizona selected him in the expansion draft.
