Carrasco (7-3) picked up the win against the Twins on Friday, allowing one earned run over 6.1 innings. He struck out seven and walked three.

EDGE Analysis

A sixth-inning home run from Eddie Rosario served as the only blemish on Carrasco's line Friday night. He finished strong against a lineup he usually struggles with, evidenced by his 3-7 lifetime record against Minnesota. The right-hander lowered his ERA to 3.21 on the season and has won his past two starts.

Carrasco (6-3) allowed two runs on seven hits and one walk across 5.1 innings during Sunday's win over the White Sox. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

While he allowed more baserunners than he has grown accustomed to, Carrasco worked around trouble quite effectively until the sixth, when he allowed a two-run double to Todd Frazier just before his removal with one out. Though he was pitching on eight days' rest, stamina appeared to be an issue for the right-hander, who was removed as he began to fade after just 85 pitches. Carrasco still pitched relatively well despite his inability to get deeper into the game, and got back into the win column after a poor showing in his previous start. Now the owner of a 3.36 ERA and a sharp 1.00 WHIP, Carrasco will look to build on this effort Friday against the Twins.

Carrasco will have his next start pushed back to Sunday against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Rain interfered with Sunday's contest in Kansas City, forcing manager Terry Francona to shuffle his rotation for this week's slate. It's not a major deal for Carrasco, as he was scheduled to take on the White Sox in a one-start week to begin with.

Carrasco (5-3) allowed five runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.1 innings to take the loss Saturday against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco was cruising through four innings with a 3-0 lead, but he quickly fell apart in the fifth inning, leading to his third loss of the year. He's allowed at least four runs in three of his last four starts to raise his ERA from 1.86 to 3.36, and although his overall numbers are still strong, fantasy owners should at least consider benching him until he gets back on track. He'll make his next start Saturday against the White Sox.

Carrasco went 3-0 with a 3.90 ERA and 1.07 WHIP over five starts in May.

EDGE Analysis

It wasn't quite as dominant of a month as April, but it was still a dandy for the right-hander. The biggest difference was a 71.4 percent strand rate in May, nearly 25 point lower than his mark in the campaign's opening month. Carrasco ranks well above average in command (2.2 BB/9) this year while dishing out one of the better average fastballs (93.9 mph) in the league. History suggests the right-hander will only get better as the weather warms up. Over his seven MLB seasons, June has traditionally been one of Carrasco's strongest months of the year.

Carrasco (5-2) allowed two runs on four hits (two home runs) while walking one and striking out seven over seven innings in Monday's 5-3 win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco took a shutout into the seventh inning to win his third straight decision, and the only runs he allowed came on solo shots by Yonder Alonso and Ryon Healy. The right-hander has not lost a start since April 28 and lowered his ERA to 2.89 with the 101-pitch effort. It's an encouraging sign after Carrasco allowed nine runs in 10 innings over his last two starts and shows that he's fully healthy after missing a little time with a pectoral ailment. Home runs can be an issue (14.3 percent HR/FB), but the rest of his peripherals are rock-solid.

Carrasco allowed four runs on five hits and four walks across 6.1 innings in a no-decision Tuesday against the Reds. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco looked a bit rusty as he made his first start since suffering a pectoral issue eight days ago, allowing a pair of runs on four hits, two walks and a hit batsman through two innings. He settled down to great effect, however, and cruised through four more frames, allowing another run when the bullpen allowed an inherited runner to score in the seventh. Carrasco lost his opportunity to pick up a win as the hosts came all the way back, but he threw 104 pitches with no ill effects and will look to exploit a favorable matchup in his next start Sunday against the Royals.

Carrasco (pectoral) was confirmed as the starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Reds, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Carrasco will toe the rubber for his ninth start of the year Tuesday after being pushed back a few days in the rotation with a pectoral issue. The 30-year-old will look to keep up his impressive start to the season, as he owns a 2.60 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, and 52:11 K:BB through 52 innings (eight starts).

Carrasco (pectoral) will make his next start Tuesday, May 23 against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

"Cookie" left Monday's start due to a bout of pectoral tightness, and although the injury isn't thought to be very serious, he'll slide back two days to get a bit of extra rest. As a result of this move, Danny Salazar will move up to start Sunday's series finale with Astros and Josh Tomlin will jump up to take on the Reds on Monday. This unfortunately takes Carrasco out of a two-start week this week, but the Indians don't have an off-day next week, so barring any setbacks, he should be in line for two starts next week.

The pectoral injury that forced Carrasco out of Monday's start in the fourth inning is not thought to be serious, Chris Assenheimer of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco was struggling anyway, as he needed 75 pitches to get through 3.2 innings and allowed five runs in the process. Perhaps the pectoral tightness contributed to his inefficiency, but at this point it doesn't look like Carrasco will need to miss any time.
