Cookie Carrasco finally makes his Mets debut.

After finishing a five-game-in-four-day series against the Braves 2-3, the Mets will hopefully get a nice injection of emotion when Carlos Carrasco finally makes his Mets debut on Friday evening.

Carrasco was acquired with Francisco Lindor before the season but has dealt with injuries all year. If he can be effective it would be a big help to the Mets’ rotation.

Of course, the trade deadline will hit before this game even starts so there may be names added to Saturday’s lineup who aren’t even part of the organization at the time this preview publishes for Friday.
