Dealing with calf issue Carrasco experienced calf tightness during Tuesday's start against the Cubs, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
Impact 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 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.

Turns in quality start Carrasco allowed three earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out five across six innings Tuesday against the Cubs. He did not factor into the decision.
Impact Carrasco was solid for the majority of his start, as he allowed only a solo homer through four innings. He stumbled a bit in the fifth frame, allowing four consecutive hits that accounted for two additional runs. Still, It was Carrasco's fourth consecutive quality start, and he's racked up a 1.80 ERA and 1.16 WHIP with a 24:6 K:BB across 25 innings in that span. He's in line to take his next turn through the rotation Sunday at Detroit.

Dealt tough loss Carrasco (2-4) took the loss Wednesday against the Royals after allowing one run on seven hits with six strikeouts and zero walks over seven innings.
Impact Kansas City was able to scratch across one run on seven singles, but it was enough to saddle the right-hander with the loss since Cleveland's offense was silent. Carrasco has surrendered only two runs with a 19:5 K:BB across his past 19 innings and will look to keep things rolling next week against the Cubs.

Seven strikeouts in no-decision Carrasco allowed one run on six hits and three walks while striking out seven over six innings in a no-decision against the Brewers on Friday.
Impact Carrasco did his best to keep up with Corbin Burnes on the other side, but the bullpen spoiled his strong effort, with three relievers combining to allow six runs. The right-hander endured some struggles in the middle of August, but he has bounced back with just one earned run allowed in his last two starts (12 innings). Overall, Carrasco has a 3.43 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 52:20 K:BB in 42 innings. He's in line for a favorable home matchup against the Royals next week.
