If you already blocked it out of your mind, Carrasco left his Saturday start against the Minnesota Twins after taking a comebacker from Joe Mauer off his elbow. He walked off the field and was put on the disabled list a day later. Being the human baseball magnet that he is, this would mark his second disabled list trip that is the direct result of being hit with a baseball, and it’s the second time this season he’s gotten hit with a ball against the Twins.
The latest news is that there appears to be no structural damage to Carrasco’s elbow, thankfully.
