Carrasco (forearm) is expected to be activated from the 10-day disabled list and start Friday against the Athletics, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
Cleveland manager Terry Francona confirmed the righty will be reinstated just a few days past his eligibility date after he submitted a dominant performance in a rehab start Saturday at Double-A Akron. The right-hander covered four scoreless frames and struck out four hitters in the 58-pitch outing, with Francona relaying that Carrasco's fastball was clocked as high as 97 mph, according to Bastian. Carrasco went on to throw more in the bullpen following his departure from the start, so he's not expected to face strict limitations with his pitch count when he rejoins the Cleveland rotation next weekend.
