Carrasco (hamstring) threw a 40-pitch bullpen session and felt great afterward, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carrasco appears to be doing very well in his rehab process and is inching ever closer to his return to the Cleveland rotation. The next step in his program is a two-inning simulated game Thursday, which could shed some light on a potential return date for the right-hander.

Carrasco (hamstring) threw a successful bullpen session Friday, Chris Assenheimer of the Chronicle-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander cleared a major hurdle on his road back from a strained hamstring, completing his first bullpen session since landing on the DL, and Carrasco will get back onto elevated ground Monday for additional work. Running and full-speed fielding drills will be the true tests, but Carrasco appears on track to make it back within the 4-to-6 week window that was initially suggested for his return.

Carrasco (leg) completed light agility drills and mimicked his delivery on flat ground Friday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is a progression from his light jogging the right-hander was able to complete Tuesday, so it appears that he is making steady progress. Carrasco seems to still be on pace to return somewhere in the 4-to-6 week timetable, but things should become clearer when he begins to actually throw again.

Carrasco (leg) has been able to jog lightly, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per manager Terry Francona, most of Carrasco's work has been limited to in a pool, but it's an encouraging sign that he's been able to run less than two weeks since suffering a hamstring strain. The pitcher's initial timetable of 4-to-6 weeks looks to still be in range, so it's possible he could be ready by the start of June.

Carrasco (hamstring) will miss four-to-six weeks with a hamstring strain, Zack Meisel of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer reports. He has been placed on the 15-day DL.
EDGE Analysis
Once the Indians need a fifth starter again, it's expected that Trevor Bauer will rejoin the Cleveland rotation in the coming weeks. Michael Brantley returned from the disabled list Monday, and he'll take over Carrasco's spot on the 25-man roster.

Carrasco (hamstring) is headed for the disabled list according to manager Terry Francona, MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carrasco was forced out of Sunday's start against Detroit due to a left hamstring injury, and upon further evaluation, it doesn't appear Cleveland will take an injury to one of their top pitchers lightly. He's slated to undergo an MRI once he gets back to Cleveland, and the results will help determine the severity of the injury, as well as a potential timeline for a return. Look for an official roster move to be announced in the coming days as well.

Carrasco was forced to leave Sunday's start against the Tigers due to a left hamstring injury.
EDGE Analysis
Carrasco picked up the injury in the second inning while attempting to cover first base. The extent of the right-hander's hamstring injury likely wouldn't be known until team trainers have more time to evaluate his health, but there appears to be some definite risk for a DL stint. A more formal update on Carrasco's condition figures to arrive in the coming days.

Carrasco departed Sunday's game in the second inning with an apparent left leg injury.
EDGE Analysis
Carrasco was covering first base on the play and had to be helped off the field and into the locker room. It certainly appears as though the issue could cost him some time, but expect further updates on his status in the near future. If he does miss extended time, Trevor Bauer seems the likely candidate to take his spot in the starting rotation.

Carrasco (2-0) allowed one run on four hits and three walks while striking out five over 6.1 innings to pick up the win Tuesday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Carrasco kept the Mariners off the scoreboard until Kyle Seager blasted a solo homer in the sixth inning, and the bullpen took over to protect the lead to earn him the victory. After giving up four runs in his first start, he's now allowed only one run in each of his last two outings. He'll look to stay hot in his next start Sunday at the Tigers.

Carrasco pitched eight strong innings, allowing just one run while striking out eight in Wednesday's 4-1 victory over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
It was a nice rebound game for the righty after allowing four runs in five innings during his first start of the season. He was in control the entire game and allowed the Rays to pick up just four hits. A 14-win season a year ago set high expectations for Carrasco this season, and Wednesday's solid performance should ease the mind of fantasy owners who may have worried after his rough first outing.
