Carrasco was hammered by the Rockies over 1.1 innings Friday. He allowed four runs on six hits and struck out one.

EDGE Analysis

After a poor showing in his first spring appearance four days earlier, Carrasco was even worse on Friday. Speaking about the righty's latest showing, manager Terry Francona didn't sound as optimistic as he did earlier in the week. "It just didn't seem like his pitches were real crisp," Francona said. "They were coming across the gun OK, but just not a lot of finish to them." The 29-year-old has yielded six runs on nine hits, including two home runs, through 3.1 Cactus League innings.

Carrasco allowed two runs on three hits (including a home run) while striking out two in Monday's exhibition game against Texas.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco's 2016 campaign came to an end in mid-September when his hand was fractured on a line drive off the bat of Ian Kinsler. After missing the team's post-season run to the World Series, Carrasco returned to the bump Monday for the first time in more than five months. He fired his full repertoire of pitches and came away feeling ready for the heavy workload that the Indians have planned for him this spring. "To be honest, it felt a little bit weird to be back on the mound," the right-hander said after the game. "At the same time, I feel good. Everything was good, coming out good. Every pitch was good. I feel great." Pitching coach Mickey Callaway has noted that Carrasco could log north of 30 innings this spring.

Carrasco will receive a heavy workload in the upcoming Cactus League, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco missed the postseason after sustaining a fractured right hand last September. Due to the time missed down the stretch, combined with the righty's stint on the disabled list between May and June (left hamstring), Carrasco was limited to 146.1 innings in 2016. This spring, Cleveland plans on being aggressive with Carrasco's Cactus League workload. Manager Terry Francona said the plan will be to ramp up his innings quickly to make up for lost time. "You'll probably see him lead our team in innings [this spring]," Francona mentioned. This latest development is a shift from the cautious approach the team was originally scheduled to take with the 29-year-old, but it sure sounds like fantasy owners will get a good look before deciding whether or not to invest in Carrasco this season.

Carrasco could see around 30 innings during spring training, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old righty was experiencing arguably his best major league season in 2016 prior to breaking his hand, but he is apparently completely healthy now and ready to get back into action. That being said, the Indians seem to be taking a more cautious approach with him, as an inning limit should keep him healthy and in line to play a big part as Cleveland attempts to repeat as American League champions.

Carrasco (hand) said Monday that he's been throwing for two weeks and is "100 percent right now," Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander has been working back from a non-displaced fracture of the fifth metacarpal on his right hand, but should be considered fully healthy going forward. The plan is for Corrasco to continue working out on his own through the end of January, after which he'll report to the team's facility in Arizona.

Carrasco (hand) will resume throwing in December and is expected to be on a normal offseason throwing program.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco's original timetable had him lined up to begin throwing toward the end of November, although this slight alteration shouldn't affect his availability when spring training rolls around. The right-hander is expected to jump right back into a prominent position in the Indians rotation.

Carrasco (hand) shed his cast Monday and expects to begin throwing in about six weeks, Anthony Castrovince of MLB reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco is definitely out for the rest of the postseason no matter how far the Indians go, but this timetable should have the right-hander easily back in time for the start of spring training.

Carrasco (hand) was transferred to the 60-day disabled list Friday, MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco would not be healthy enough to pitch even if the Indians advance far into the playoffs, so the team decided to move him to the 60-day disabled list in order to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for Yan Gomes. Carrasco will be back at 100 percent sometime this winter though, and will almost certainly head into next season as the Indians' No. 2 starter.

Carrasco (hand) has been ruled out for the remainder of the season, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

This was expected after Carrasco was diagnosed with a non-displaced fracture of the fifth metacarpal in his throwing hand, but manager Terry Francona confirmed that Carrasco is done for the year. He was hit by a line drive in the first inning Saturday and was forced to leave after throwing two pitches. A replacement for Carrasco in the rotation has not yet been named.

Carrasco has been diagnosed with a non-displaced fracture of the fifth metacarpal in his right hand, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He took a line drive off his hand early Saturday, forcing him from the game after a mere two pitches. Although the fracture is non-displaced, it's still the type of injury that figures to keep Carrasco out for the remainder of the regular season, and likely the postseason as well. That said, the Indians are not currently offering up a timetable for Carrasco's return.
