And Clarke Schmidt isn\u2019t the answer.<\/p>\n<p>Carlos Carrasco was the latest reminder Tuesday in Detroit that general manager Brian Cashman has to do something if this season is going to be salvaged. The veteran gave up four runs in 4.1 innings during a 5\u20130 loss to the Tigers. Three of those runs came on home runs in the fourth inning. Carrasco was hit hard. The Tigers made loud contact all day, squaring up his fastball and showing little trouble timing him.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\" data-zone-count=\"3\">\n<div class=\"not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d m-in-content-ad is-loaded\">\n<div id=\"ad-in_content-3b688b331b2a4468af360a47a4b104a6\" data-google-query-id=\"CPfS1N22yowDFd59DwIdp6sJrw\" data-ad-size=\"0x0\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/88059007\/athlonsports.com\/mlb\/new-york-yankees_2__container__\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/88059007\/athlonsports.com\/mlb\/new-york-yankees_2\" tabindex=\"0\" title=\"3rd party ad content\" src=\"https:\/\/0f8a951eadb22272c4f0fc34e032d926.safeframe.googlesyndication.com\/safeframe\/1-0-41\/html\/container.html\" name=\"\" width=\"0\" height=\"235\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" data-is-safeframe=\"true\" aria-label=\"Advertisement\" data-google-container-id=\"1\" data-load-complete=\"true\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>The 38-year-old has an ERA of 7.71 coming off two straight rough seasons where he was basically an innings eater.
