Carlos Carrasco Exits Game vs. Royals with Foot Injury from Line Drive

Cleveland Indians ace Carlos Carrasco had his spring training interrupted Wednesday when he suffered a foot injury against the Kansas City Royals. 

According to MLB.com's Jordan Bastian, Carrasco left the game with trainers after being hit by a comebacker off the bat of Royals third baseman Cheslor Cuthbert. 

Carrasco's injury history includes Tommy John surgery that forced him to miss the entire 2012 campaign, but he's been generally healthy since then and has made at least 25 starts in three straight seasons. 

Coming off his most productive year to date, Carrasco has a 6.14 ERA, 16 strikeouts and four walks over 14.2 innings in five appearances this spring. He was roughed up for six runs on nine hits, including two home runs, in 4.2 innings before leaving due to injury—and all that happened on his 31st birthday.

So long as Carrasco is banged up, the onus will be on Mike Clevinger to step up and provide some stability in the back end of the rotation while Corey Kluber and Co. continue to hold down the fort at the top.
