Carlos Carrasco exited Sunday's game early with an injury to his leg. This happened when the Cleveland Indians' starting pitcher was attempting to cover first base. He did not put any pressure on his leg while leaving the game, so this injury could be serious. It is time to start looking into altern[...]
