Cleveland Indians: Carlos Carrasco gets the award and recognition he deserves

Carlos Carrasco only made 23 appearances for the Cleveland Indians in 2019 due to his battle with leukemia.

In case anyone forgot, those appearances didn’t all come before the diagnosis. He returned only a few months later as a key piece in the bullpen. Once again, all while battling leukemia.

Carrasco didn’t let the disease stop his progress both on and off the field. His work off the field is what was most important in 2019 and is why he was honored before Friday night’s World Series Game 3.
