4 years agoCleveland Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco experienced calf tightness during Tuesday's start against the Cubs, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports. The 33-year-old allowed three runs over six innings Tuesday and was expected to also pitch the seventh inning, but he then informed the coaching staff of the calf tightness. “It’s really just being cautious,” Indians pitching coach Carl Willis said. “Didn’t want him to go out and be in a situation where he started to alter his delivery and get himself in a bad position. … He’s feeling better today. He’s gonna be treated, obviously, and at this point, I think we anticipate him making his next scheduled start. So that’s the good news.” It appears to be a minor issue as pitching coach Carl Willis said the team expects Carrasco to make his next turn through the rotation Sunday in Detroit, though it's worth keeping an eye on his status over the next couple days.--James Stokke
