Indians' Carrasco headed to DL with hamstring injury, will get MRI
The Indians lost starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco to a hamstring injury in the third inning during a 6-3 win over the Tigers Sunday, and the prognosis doesn't look great.
"It's going to be a DL situation, but we're just hoping it isn't terrible," manager Terry Francona said. "We sent him back to Cleveland, because without an MRI, we're not going to know anything."
Carrasco had only allowed one hit when Andrew Romine nubbed a slow roller to the right side of the infield. Carrasco covered the bag, but had to reach back for Carlos Santana's throw and hit the base at an awkward angle.
He recorded the out, but immediately fell to the ground, grabbing the back of his leg.
"When you see a guy go down like that, it is deflating," Francona said. "That's not just something grabbing at him a little."
