The Indians optioned starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco to Triple-A Columbus Wednesday to clear a roster spot for Corey Kluber, who was promoted to start Wednesday's game against the Yankees.
Carrasco was ejected from Tuesday's start after hitting Kevin Youkilis with a pitch following a Robinson Cano home run. Carrasco took the loss after allowing seven runs on seven hits (two home runs) and two walks in 3 2/3 innings.
