New York Mets manager Buck Showalter told reporters Tuesday that starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco suffered a broken right pinky finger after a 50-pound dumbbell fell on it Sunday.

Tim Healey of Newsday relayed the news on Carrasco, who underwent successful surgery for the ailment.

New York previously placed Carrasco on the injured list. The recovery time is four-to-six weeks, per the team, meaning that the right-hander's season is over with the regular season closing Oct. 1.

The 36-year-old Carrasco has played three seasons with the Mets after arriving via trade from the Cleveland Guardians alongside Francisco Lindor.
