Carrasco picked up a win in relief Sunday during the Indians' 5-2 triumph over the Yankees. He tossed a perfect inning and struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco may have missed out on a two-start week, but that didn't prevent him from scooping up two wins. Manager Terry Fracona elected to make the right-hander available out of the bullpen on three days' rest for the Tribe's final game of the first half, and Carrasco shined as the setup man for closer Cody Allen. After Carrasco retired the side on 14 pitches, the Indians broke a 2-2 tie with three runs in the bottom of the eighth to propel him to his 11th win. Carrasco is expected to slot back into the rotation following the All-Star break, with his first outing most likely coming during next weekend's series in Texas.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco had a rehab start with Double-A Akron followed by a bullpen session last Saturday after spending the last few weeks on the disabled list with the forearm bruise. The 31-year-old had a 4.24 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with 96:22 K:BB over 91.1 innings prior to sustaining the injury, and isn't expected to be saddled with a strict limitation on his pitch count.

Indians manager Terry Francona confirmed Carrasco (forearm) would be activated from the 10-day disabled list and start Friday against the Athletics, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco will be reinstated just a few days after his eligibility date after he submitted a dominant performance in a rehab start Saturday at Double-A Akron, The right-hander covered four scoreless frames and struck out four hitters in the 58-pitch outing, with Francona relaying that Carrasco's fastball was clocked as high as 97 miles per hour, according to Bastian. Carrasco went on to throw some more in the bullpen following his departure from the start, so it's not expected that he'll face any strict limitations with his pitch count when he rejoins the Cleveland rotation next weekend.

Carrasco (elbow) threw four scoreless innings for Double-A Akron on Saturday, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out four, and he probably will rejoin Cleveland's rotation for his next start, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Terry Francona likely will confirm Carrasco's next steps Sunday, but it doesn't look like Cookie will need another minor-league tuneup. Expect his activation to happen in time for a Friday home assignment against the Athletics.

Carrasco (right elbow contusion) will make a rehab start for Double-A Akron on Saturday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He threw another successful mound session Wednesday, and Cleveland decided the next step would be a rehab assignment. Considering he has only been on the shelf for 10 days, he will likely only need one rehab start if everything goes smoothly. This means he could return July 6 at home against the A's.

Carrasco (forearm) threw a successful 25-pitch bullpen session Monday, Paul Hoynes of Cleveland.com reports.

Carrasco will throw bullpen sessions this week to test his bruised elbow, the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

He threw from 90 feet Friday and will presumably throw his first bullpen session Monday or Tuesday. This seems to rule out Carrasco returning when first eligible June 27. However, if all goes well, it's possible he could return for the weekend series in Oakland or next week's series in Kansas City.

Carrasco (forearm) was throwing from 90 feet Friday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco is throwing for the first time since landing on the disabled list June 16 with a forearm bruise, and is currently slated for a bullpen session next week. A timeline for the 31-year-old's return remains unclear at this point, but he seems unlikely to be ready to go at least until the start of July.

The Indians placed Carrasco (forearm) on the 10-day disabled list Sunday, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though X-rays cleared Carrasco of any structural damage to his right elbow after he was smoked by a line drive in his start Saturday against the Twins, the 31-year-old will be on the shelf for at least the next week and a half while he recovers from a significant bruise. Since the Indians' fifth starter, Adam Plutko, was pressed into extended action out of the bullpen Saturday following Carrasco's departure in the second inning, Shane Bieber was summoned from Triple-A Columbus to start Sunday's series finale. Bieber seems likely to stick in the rotation for the duration of Carrasco's absence.

Carrasco was hit by a line drive off the bat of Joe Mauer in the second inning Saturday, subsequently exiting the game.
