  20D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Carrasco's 2019 club option was picked up by Cleveland on Tuesday. The move is no surprise, as Carrasco will make just $9.75 million in 2019, T.J. Zuppe of The Athletic reports. Cleveland holds the pitcher's rights in 2020 as well, via another club option.

• Indians' Carlos Carrasco: Closes regular season with five strong

  09/30/2018 • By RotoWire Staff

  Carrasco (17-10) allowed one earned run on three hits and two walks while striking out six across five innings to earn the win Sunday against the Royals. Carrasco had little trouble working through the Royals' lineup, allowing just three runners to reach scoring position. He also generated 15 swinging strikes, an impressive mark considering that he threw only 77 pitches Sunday. It was a strong close to the season for Carrasco, who ended the campaign with a 3.38 ERA and 1.13 WHIP to go along with 231 strikeouts across 192 innings. He'll make his next start in Game 2 of the ALDS against the Astros.

• Indians' Carlos Carrasco: Takes loss in relief appearance

  09/26/2018 • By RotoWire Staff

  Carrasco (16-10) allowed three runs on four hits and four walks across 4.1 innings Tuesday to take the loss against the White Sox. He struck out eight. Carrasco followed Trevor Bauer in this one, entering in the fifth inning. Though he started well enough, he narrowly escaped a jam in the eighth inning and blew a two-run lead in the ninth, when he allowed four of five hitters to reach as the home team plated three runs to win. Carrasco worked up to 81 pitches in this relief outing and will presumably be able to take on a normal workload Sunday against the Royals in his final regular-season start.

• Indians' Carlos Carrasco: To follow Bauer out of bullpen Tuesday

  09/20/2018 • By RotoWire Staff

  Manager Terry Francona said Carrasco will come in for Trevor Bauer (lower leg) on Tuesday against the White Sox after the latter pitches a few innings, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports. With Bauer attempting to build his arm back up to speed before the start of the postseason, he will take the hill Friday and then again Tuesday in the hopes of gradually increasing his workload. In order to assist the club in getting Bauer as much time as possible on the mound, Carrasco agreed to serve out of the bullpen instead of making a start during the three-game set in Chicago. Looking ahead, the Indians are lining Carrasco up to start Game 1 or 2 of the ALDS as long as everything goes according to plan.

• Indians' Carlos Carrasco: Takes loss despite quality start

  09/13/2018 • By RotoWire Staff

  Carrasco (16-9) took the loss Wednesday against the Rays, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks across seven innings. He struck out five. It was an unfortunate loss for Carrasco, as Blake Snell carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning opposite him. The right-hander served up a two-run homer to Ji-Man Choi in the first inning but settled in from there, allowing just one run over the next six innings to secure his second consecutive quality start. He'll carry a 3.43 ERA into his next start, which will come at home against the White Sox.
