Indians' Carlos Carrasco (leukemia) cleared to face hitters
Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco (cancer) has been cleared to begin throwing to live hitters this Friday.
What It Means:
Carrasco has been sidelined since being diagnosed with leukemia in late May. The Indians are understandably taking a cautious approach with the right-hander's return, but it sounds like he could be back before the playoffs.
Carrasco is 4-6 in 12 starts this season. He owns a 4.98 ERA and 1.31 WHIP with 79 strikeouts and 11 walks across 65 innings.
