CLEVELAND: The Indians made a series of moves and decisions on Tuesday, among them the announcement that starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco is for now avoiding a stint o the disabled list but will be pushed back two days prior to his next start.
Carrasco left Monday night’s game in the fourth inning with left pectoral tightness. The Indians feel the extra two days is all he needs before taking the mound again, which would tentatively be May 23 in Cincinnati. Mike Clevinger will start Saturday’s game, per manager Terry Francona Francona.
“The idea is to give him two days of just letting him be in the training room,” Francona said.
