The Guardians designated Carrasco (hip) for assignment Tuesday.
Carrasco looks to be healthy again after making a three-inning rehab start for Double-A Akron on Friday, but the Guardians don't have a spot for him in the big leagues. Before landing on the shelf Aug. 9 with a left hip strain, Carrasco struggled to a 5.64 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in 103.2 innings over 21 starts for Cleveland. Assuming Carrasco clears waivers, he'll likely decline an outright assignment to the minors and will become a free agent. Carrasco is set to turn 38 yards old in March and may have thrown his last pitch in the big leagues.
