Carlos Carrasco

Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco has been diagnosed with leukemia.

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.

The Indians have placed Carlos Carrasco on the 10-day injured list with a blood condition.

Fantasy Impact

The issue isn’t baseball related but leaves Carrasco feeling lethargic. He’ll step away for a little bit to explore the best treatment options. We should get updates on his status throughout his recovery.
