New York Mets' Carlos Carrasco set to undergo follow-up test after leaving start with side tightness

New York Mets right-hander Carlos Carrasco is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Tuesday after leaving Monday night's 13-1 loss to the Braves in Atlanta with left side tightness.

Carrasco allowed three runs in two innings against the Braves, and his outing was interrupted by a 55-minute rain delay in the second inning. He returned after it to get the final out of the inning, but he winced on his last pitch and was pulled with left side tightness.

"It just got tight a little bit (on the last pitch), and I don't want to push any more," he told reporters after the game.
