The Indians recalled starter Carlos Carrasco to make Saturday's start against the Tigers, MLB.com reports. Justin Masterson will have his start pushed back to Sunday and Zach McAllister heads to the disabled list.
Carrasco made one start earlier this year for the Indians and gave up seven earned runs on seven hits and two walks over 3 2/3 innings on April 9 against the Yankees. He took the loss in that outing.
Carrasco gone 2-0 with a 3.21 ERA over his last 10 appearances with Triple-A Columbus with 50 strikeouts over 47 2/3 innings. That said, he was hit hard his last time out against Indianapolis with eight earned runs allowed over four frames. He hasn't gone deeper than four innings in either of his last two starts for Columbus.
He can pitch Saturday while he's appealing an eight-game suspension. He'll then drop the appeal and, with an off day Thursday, can miss eight games without upsetting the rotation going forward.
