Carlos Carrasco has been diagnosed with leukemia.
Carrasco has not pitched since the end of May and was placed on the injured list with a non-baseball medical condition, and it was announced that he was dealing with an unspecified blood condition; with the Indians not allowed to comment because it was not related to baseball. In an interview with a Dominican television station, Carrasco stated that after issues with his energy level, he underwent tests that revealed abnormally high plate levels, and then was diagnosed with the disease at the hospital shortly after. Carrasco also mentioned that the leukemia is currently "under control." Baseball is secondary to this, of course, but the 32-year-old also stated that he does intend to return at some point, although he doesn't say if 2019 is a possibility. We offer our best to Carrasco and his loved ones.

Here's hoping we hear the words "cancer free" and "Carlos Carrasco" in the same sentence real soon.

It'll also give him time to work on his pickoff move.

Good pitcher. Can't hold runners for shit.

Get well soon.

Damn it, I knew it was not going to be good when I first heard about a "blood condition", but I didn't think that it would be this bad.

Best of luck to you Carlos, you're a hell of a talent and I know you'll be back giving Twins hitters fits very soon!
