It’s been a winding road for Carreras, who finds himself on the verge of a big-league debut in 2024. The 6’1” 24-year-old righty-hitting utility infielder was originally signed in 2017 as an 18-year-old with a $15,000 bonus, indicating he wasn’t highly thought of as a prospect back then. Carreras soon turned heads with his athleticism and results early on, though a rough 2021 marred by a shoulder injury nearly wiped that momentum away. Carreras rebounded with a big 2022 that saw him jump up to an end-of-season assignment to Double-A as well as a coveted 40-man roster spot after the season.
