Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco said Friday that he's been diagnosed with leukemia, a cancer impacting blood and bone marrow, but noted the condition is "under control."
Carrasco, who last pitched May 30 and was placed on the 10-day injured list June 5 with what the team called a "blood condition," provided the update on his status to Frank Camilo of CDN 37 in the Dominican Republic (via Craig Calcaterra of NBC Sports).
The 32-year-old Venezuela native is traditionally one of the American League's best starters.
