Carrasco exited Saturday's game against the Tigers after taking a liner off of his pitching hand.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco threw only two pitches before a liner off the bat of Ian Kisnler struck him in the hand. At this point, it's unclear if Carrasco sustained any structural damage, but he'll undergo further testing before the team issues an update. Jeff Manship entered the game in relief of Carrasco.

Carrasco (11-8) allowed five runs (four earned) on eight hits and a walk over 3.2 innings in a loss Monday to the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco has been excellent for much of the season, as he has a 3.32 ERA and 150 strikeouts over 146.1 innings. But he has been prone to short starts like Monday's -- this marks the fifth time in 24 starts Carrasco has pitched four or fewer innings. Carrasco's stuff is as good as almost anybody's in the majors -- his inconsistency is the only thing holding him back from contending for the Cy Young award.

Carrasco (11-7) pitched 7.1 innings, allowing four runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out five Astros in Wednesday's win.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco worked around some early trouble that were apparently caused by some insect issues on the mound. Immediately after a bug appeared to fly in his eye during the fourth, Carrasco surrendered a leadoff single to Yulieski Gurriel and a first-pitch, two-run homer to Colby Rasmus. Carrasco settled in, however, and took advantage of solid run support to earn his 11th win of the year. The 29-year-old righty has surrendered a career-high 20 home runs this season, but he also managed a 3.15 ERA and 1.11 WHIP -- both of which are well below his career averages -- through 23 starts. He'll make his next start Monday against the White Sox.

Carrasco (10-7) shut down the Marlins Friday, allowing zero runs on six hits and walk while fanning 11.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco returned to form by posting his third double-digit strikeout performance of the year after getting knocked out after the fourth inning in his last outing against Texas -- a sour ending to his 2-5 month of August. With Detroit within striking distance for the AL Central crown, Carrasco will need to pitch to form more consistently to help the Indians hold the Tigers off.

Carrasco (9-6) threw eight shutout innings and alloweed just four hits while striking out nine in a win Monday over Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco had struck out a brilliant 28 batters over his past three starts but had mediocre results, with 10 earned runs allowed over 20.2 innings (4.35 ERA). Monday, he turned nastiness into results, as he paired 18 swinging strikes with seven ground balls to utterly lock down the Athletics lineup. Carrasco has a 3.12 ERA thanks to some slight inconsistency, but he's one of the league's best pitchers when he's on his game.

Carrasco (8-6) pitched 6.2 innings, allowing five runs (four earned) on eight hits while striking out 11 White Sox in Wednesday's no-decision.

EDGE Analysis

Unfortunately for Carrasco and his fantasy owners, closer Cody Allen blew a two-run lead in the ninth inning which cost Carrasco his ninth victory. As far as the starting pitcher is concerned; the five runs and eight hits can be sidestepped when looking at the 11 K's and zero walks Carrasco had Wednesday. It was only the second start this season in which the right-hander notched double-digit strikeouts, and it was the first time in 2016 that Carrasco didn't issue a free pass while pitching more than three innings. The 29-year-old has racked up 28 K's over his last 20.2 innings, and he'll look to continue drawing whiffs when he makes his next start in Oakland on Monday.

Carrasco (7-6) allowed three runs on five hits and two walks over seven innings Sunday, striking out nine, in a loss to the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

He bounced back nicely from his disastrous last start, throwing 63 of 96 pitches for strikes and starting 17 of 28 batters off with first-pitch strikes, but got outdueled by Masahiro Tanaka. Carrasco will next toe the rubber Saturday at home against the Angels.

Carrasco was destroyed in Tuesday's loss to the Twins. He lasted just 3.2 innings, allowing eight runs, nine hits and two walks while striking out a season-low one hitter.

EDGE Analysis

Carrasco's stellar 2.45 ERA entering the game was inflated to 3.12 with Tuesday's poor performance. After a stretch of five wins in six starts, the 29-year-old righty has lost two straight. In his last couple of outings, Carrasco has allow 11 runs on 12 hits in 9.2 innings. His rebound attempt will come at Yankee Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Carrasco (7-4) was tagged with the loss despite giving up just three runs on three hits over six innings Wednesday versus the Nationals. He walked three and struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

Unfortunately for Carrasco, his third straight quality start didn't stand a chance against Stephen Strasburg's gem in this one. However, the 29-year-old did enough to win on most other days, including retiring 10 consecutive batters at one point. Although it's not what many owners had bought in expecting for, Carrasco has put together a fine season in his seventh MLB go-round that includes a career-best 2.45 ERA and 10 quality outings in 15 starts. He has a friendly matchup with the Twins in his next turn on Tuesday, a team he limited to four hits in a victory just two starts ago.

Carrasco (7-3) was nearly perfect, as he allowed no runs on one hit, struck out six and walked two over six innings in a victory over the Royals on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

It was the third time this season he threw at least six shutout innings in a start. In the first five innings, he allowed just one base runner, which was a double to Cheslor Cuthbert. The strong outing dropped his ERA down to 2.31; he also has a 1.03 WHIP and 81 strikeouts in 85.2 innings. His next start will be Wednesday against the Nationals.
