EDGE Analysis

Doctors will continue to regularly re-evaluate Carrasco as he steadily increases his activity, but the Indians aren't putting a timeline on his return to game action. The report nonetheless amounts to a positive development for the right-hander, who remains hopeful to pitch again at some point in 2019.
