Indians' Carlos Carrasco Placed on 10-Day DL Due to Elbow Injury

The Cleveland Indians announced Sunday that they placed starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco on the 10-day disabled list with a right elbow contusion.

Carrasco started the season with eight wins, including two complete games, over his first 14 starts. However, he was forced to leave his start against the Minnesota Twins on Saturday after he was hit in his throwing arm by a comeback liner.

Otherwise, the 31-year-old has helped form a strong one-two punch alongside Corey Kluber atop the Indians' rotation.

After winning 18 games and posting a 3.29 ERA last year, however, Carrasco hasn't been quite as effective in 2018.
