The Guardians placed right-hander Carlos Carrasco on the 15-day injured list with a left hip strain. He's been struggling with a 5.64 ERA, poor fastball velocity, and a high home run rate.
Carrasco, a consistent presence in the rotation, has hit a rough patch recently, giving up 17 runs in his last 17 2/3 innings. His performance adds pressure to the pitching depth of the Guardians.
The Guardians have faced pitching challenges, with Carrasco's injury adding to the loss of Shane Bieber earlier. They are seeking solutions from a range of recalled players.
To fill Carrasco's spot, the Guardians have called up Joey Cantillo and made plans for other starters. An adjustment to the 40-man roster will be required between their doubleheader games.
