Carrasco (elbow) has only been stretched out to three innings, so there is a chance he'll begin the season on the 10-day disabled list, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
Carrasco tossed three scoreless frames in his most recent Cactus League start nearly two weeks ago, although it wasn't exactly a who's who in the Cubs lineup. Still, he is making progress. The team might begin with eight relievers since it does not need a fifth starter until April 15, allowing Carrasco more time to heal.
