CARLOS CARRASCO NEWS

Outrighted to Columbus Carrasco cleared waivers Friday and accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Columbus.

Impact After being dropped from Cleveland's 40-man roster Tuesday, Carrasco had the right to enter free agency. Instead, the 37-year-old righty will stick with the organization he's spent 12 seasons with and finish the year in Triple-A. His demotion to Columbus acts somewhat as a promotion, as he most recently pitched for Double-A Akron while working his way back from a hip strain.

Removed from 40-man roster The Guardians designated Carrasco for assignment Tuesday.

Impact Carrasco is in the middle of rehabbing his injured hip that he suffered in the first half of August. He had just began a rehab Assignment Friday with Double-A Akron, allowing two runs in three innings. The 37-year-old's struggles in 2024, hip injury, and emergence of rookie Joey Cantillo in the back end of the rotation shrunk Carrasco's chances of a return to the Guardians. In a corresponding move, Myles Straw was selected from Triple-A Columbus.

Makes rehab start Friday Carrasco (hip) began a rehab assignment Friday with Double-A Akron, covering three innings and striking out three while allowing two earned runs on three hits and no walks.

Impact Carrasco tossed 41 pitches (27 strikes) in the outing, his first since he landed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 9 with a left hip strain. Though the Guardians wouldn't seem to have an opening in the rotation for Carrasco with rookie Joey Cantillo thriving of late as the club's new No. 5 starter in place of the injured Alex Cobb (finger), Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt told MLB.com on Sept. 3 that he still envisions Carrasco returning from the IL as an option to start. Carrasco is still expected to require at least one more rehab start in the minors before the Guardians activate him and make a decision on his role.

Closing in on live session Guardians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti said Sunday that Carrasco (hip) is scheduled to throw a live batting practice session by the middle of the week, Joe Noga...

Impact Until Antonetti spoke to the media Sunday, the club hadn't provided many updates on Carrasco's status since he landed on the injured list Aug. 9 with a left hip strain. Based on Antonetti's comments, Carrasco was able to resume throwing within the past week, and the 37-year-old right-hander will continue the ramp up process when he faces hitters in the coming days. Alex Cobb (fingernail) is also scheduled for a live session later this week and appears on pace to beat Carrasco back from the IL, so the Guardians may not have room in the rotation for the latter pitcher once he's fully stretched out. Carrasco had posted a 5.64 ERA over 103.2 innings over his 21 starts this season prior to being shelved with the hip injury.

Carrasco's currently lined up to face to Cubs at home early next week, though he could soon lose his spot in the rotation with Matthew Boyd (elbow) nearing a return.

He had taken a loss in his previous three starts, giving up a combined 13 runs in 14 innings during that stretch. On the year, Carrasco is 3-9 with a 5.53 ERA and an 84:31 K:BB through 99.1 innings.

Early exit in Philly Carrasco (3-9) took the loss Saturday, coughing up six runs on six hits and a walk over 3.2 innings as the Guardians fell 8-0 to the Phillies. He struck out five.

Impact The veteran right-hander put up goose eggs for three innings before the wheels came off in the fourth, beginning with a two-run homer by Bryce Harper. It was Carrasco's shortest outing since April 6, and he had given Cleveland at least five innings in seven straight starts coming into Saturday, although with less than stellar results. On the season, he sports a 5.68 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 79:27 K:BB through 95 innings. With the trade deadline looming, prospect Joey Cantillo getting a look Sunday and Matthew Boyd (elbow) getting stretched out in the minors, Carrasco's time in the rotation could be drawing to a close, but for now he's scheduled to make his next start at home next weekend against the Orioles.
