Fantasy Impact:

Carrasco was placed on the IL back in May with a non-baseball related issue. We now know what that issue is and it's obviously not what anyone wanted to hear. Carrasco says his leukemia is being treated and is under control, but it's still a scary time for the 32-year-old. He hopes to return and pitch this season but that is not a given. We send our best wishes to Carrasco and his family.
