The Indians announced Sunday that Carrasco has been diagnosed with a treatable form of chronic myeloid leukemia that will allow him to resume strength and conditioning workouts and throwing workouts while he recovers from the illness, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Doctors will continue to regularly re-evaluate Carrasco as he steadily increases his activity, but the Indians aren't putting a timeline on his return to game action. The report nonetheless amounts to a positive development for the right-hander, who remains hopeful to pitch again at some point in 2019.

Carrasco (illness) has been diagnosed with leukemia, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco revealed the diagnosis in an interview with Dominican news station CDN 37. He has been sidelined since June 5 and very few specifics had been given to this point. Carrasco also said in the interview that he is being treated and the illness is under control. While he hopes to pitch again this season, there's no timetable for his return.

Carrasco (blood condition) has started playing catch, though the Indians don't yet know when or whether he'll be able to return, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's been difficult to get many details on Carrasco's status, as it's a non-baseball medical condition, meaning that the team can't comment on his condition without him disclosing it publicly. He does have a history of heart problems, however, which appear to be connected to his current status.

Carrasco was placed on the 10-day injured list with a non-baseball medical condition Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco and the Indians have not released the exact details of the problem, but the team's statement indicated that he's been diagnosed with some sort of blood condition after feeling lethargic for several weeks. Carrasco will take some time away from baseball to figure out his treatment plan. It's not clear when he'll be able to return to action, but the Indians expect him back at some point this year. His replacement in the rotation has not yet been announced.

Carrasco (4-6) tossed 6.1 innings in Thursday's loss to the White Sox, surrendering six runs on 10 hits and a walk while striking out seven.

EDGE Analysis

The loss was Carrasco's third straight and first to the White Sox this year. The right-hander came into the contest with a 2-0 record over the White Sox after not allowing a run or walk over 12 innings, but Thursday was a different story. Carrasco struggled with efficiency, giving up 10 hits to tie his season high dating back to March 31. The 32-year-old racked up his pitch count in the second inning after allowing three consecutive hits, including a two-run double to Eloy Jimenez to give the White Sox a 2-0 lead. It was pretty much downhill from there. Carrasco now holds a 4.98 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 79:11 K:BB. He'll look to get back into the win column at home against Minnesota on Wednesday.

Carrasco (4-4) gave up three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four through five innings, taking the loss to the Athletics on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco worked in and out of trouble constantly, allowing nine baserunners. The home runs continue to plague the right-hander, as he carries a 1.7 HR/9 this year and gave up two more solo home runs in this start. He has a 4-4 record with a 4.30 ERA through 10 starts this season. Carrasco will make his next start Saturday against the Rays.

Carrasco will make his next start Monday against the Athletics, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was originally lined up for a two-start week, but instead Adam Plutko will join the rotation Saturday while Carrasco gets an extra day of rest before getting the ball for Monday's series opener against Oakland. Carrasco has been stellar through three starts this month, compiling a 1.86 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 21:0 K:BB in 19.2 innings.

Carrasco (4-3) shut out the White Sox for seven innings on six hits and no walks while striking out six to pick up the win Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old won his second straight start over the White Sox, shutting them out in both games over a combined 12 innings. In Tuesday's game, the White Sox notched two hits in both the first and third innings, but Carrasco set down the threat both times. He has lowered his ERA to 4.18 and his WHIP to 1.16, and currently lines up to face the Orioles at home Sunday.

Carrasco (3-3) allowed no runs on two hits with no walks and six strikeouts across five innings in a shortened complete-game victory against the White Sox on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran was cruising to a victory anyway, but Carrasco made it through five frames just fast enough for the game to become official before the rain arrived. After a couple rough outings that elevated his ERA close to 6.00, it would have been nice for Carrasco to get a couple more scoreless innings under his belt, but the 32-year-old has still thrown three shutout outings in his last five starts. He is 3-3 with a 4.91 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 56 strikeouts in 40.1 innings this season. He will have a chance to extend his scoreless innings streak against the White Sox in his next start against them Tuesday.

Carrasco allowed four runs on seven hits and zero walks across 7.2 innings during Saturday's 5-4 win over the Mariners. He struck out nine but did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco did a fantastic job limiting baserunners on Saturday but was hurt by the long ball, though thankfully all four homers he surrendered were solo shots. The 32-year-old had given up four home runs over 27.2 innings this season prior to Saturday. Carrasco will carry a 5.60 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 50:7 K:BB into Thursday start versus the White Sox.
