Indians' Carrasco bothered by sore shoulder, DL possible

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Indians right-hander Carlos Carrasco has a sore right shoulder and is likely headed to the disabled list.

Manager Terry Francona said Carrasco has been bothered by soreness, which worsened following a recent start in New York. Francona said Carrasco underwent an MRI, which came back negative. Carrasco will undergo another medical examination on Tuesday night before the Indians make any roster moves.

Carrasco has been one of Cleveland's most consistent starters, going 12-9 with a 3.53 ERA in 25 starts. It's possible the Indians may just push the 28-year-old's next start back a few days, but there's a strong chance he'll go on the DL.

Carrasco was scheduled to start Wednesday against Milwaukee, but he will be replaced by Cody Anderson, who has been on the DL with a strained left oblique. Anderson is 2-3 with a 4.31 ERA in eight starts.
