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.

Carrasco gave up four runs on seven hits, including three home runs, over five innings against the Red Sox in a no-decision Wednesday. He struck out five batters and issued one walk.
EDGE Analysis
Brock Holt touched Carrasco up for a homer in the second inning, and David Ortiz and Hanley Ramirez went back-to-back in the sixth. Expectations were sky high for Carrasco coming into the year after an outstanding 2015 campaign, and those expectations remain unchanged despite the lackluster debut. He'll face the Rays at the Trop early next week.

Carrasco struck out five while allowing two runs on seven hits over four innings in his outing against the Rangers on Tuesday afternoon.
EDGE Analysis
After piling up five scoreless innings in his first two spring appearances, Carrasco ran into some trouble Tuesday -- including a solo homer allowed to Prince Fielder. With the five strikeouts against the Rangers, he's now carrying a 10:0 K:BB through nine innings in Cactus League play. Carrasco has been sharp overall this spring, and he remains on track to begin the season as the Tribe's No. 2 starter.

Carrasco (14-12) was bombed for five runs on five hits and two walks in just three innings against the Twins en route to a loss in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader.
EDGE Analysis
That's an ugly end to what was mostly a successful season for Carrasco; although he didn't come close to replicating last year's 2.55 ERA -- 3.63 is this season's final mark -- he put up 216 strikeouts and only 43 walks in 183.2 innings spanning 30 starts. As he's traditionally a much better second-half than first-half pitcher, fantasy owners may be best served letting someone else draft Carrasco next year, then picking him up on the cheap sometime in June or July.

Carrasco will start Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Twins, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tuesday's game was postponed due to rain, and rather than just move Cody Anderson to start Game 1 of Wednesday's twin bill, the Indians have decided to flip its starters and start Carrasco in the matinee. Carrasco has posted a 4.24 ERA in eight daytime starts this season, compared to a 3.12 mark at night.
