Pitcher Notes: Carrasco, Scherzer, German

By Connor Byrne | August 16, 2019 at 9:09pm CDT

The latest on a few notable right-handers…

  • The Indians’ Carlos Carrasco took a significant step Friday toward returning to a major league mound, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com explains. Carrasco, out since the end of May because of a leukemia diagnosis, threw his first live batting practice session, tossing 25 pitches to Single-A hitters. The Indians are deciding on a next step for Carrasco, who still doesn’t have a timetable for a return. Regardless of whether the 32-year-old does come back this season, manager Terry Francona said what Carrasco accomplished Friday was “a huge boost to him.”
  • The Nationals had hope that ace Max Scherzer would come off the injured list this weekend, but that isn’t going to happen, Eddie Matz of ESPN.com reports. Scherzer, shelved since July 25 with a mild rhomboid strain, still has to build his arm up more before he slots back into Washington’s rotation. He threw a 60-pitch simulated game this past Tuesday and will aim for “75, 80 pitches” on Saturday, according to manager Dave Martinez. If that goes well, it seems quite possible Scherzer will come off the IL sometime next week. The three-time Cy Young winner’s injury issues have limited him to just two starts since the beginning of July.
  • Yankees righty Domingo German has thrown 120 innings between the majors and minors this year, putting him on pace to eclipse the professional-high 123 2/3 he amassed in 2017. The starter-needy, World Series hopeful Yankees are unlikely to limit German’s workload, though, in part because he missed three weeks earlier this season with a hip flexor strain, George A. King III of the New York Post writes. “There are no innings limits when you are in October. All safeties are off,” general manager Brian Cashman said, adding that German “already has had a timeout.” The 24-year-old German has been one of the top options in a shaky New York rotation this season, having pitched to a 3.96 ERA/4.64 FIP with 9.62 K/9 and 2.02 BB/9 over 116 MLB frames.

    I think they should have a designated caddy for German. 4 innings and he’s out. Bring in another AAA starter to pick him up.

      Chance Adams is a bigger waste of a 40 man spot than Chad Green.

        I remember when Adams was projected to be one of the majors’ best pitchers a couple of years ago. Good times.

          I dont ever remember reading that a few years ago. At his peak prospect status he was projected as a possible mid rotation arm.

          Oh I know. I wasn’t taking that seriously. I don’t really get what ever made him a top 100 prospect. Nothing about his pitch mix screamed big league quality.

    Mr. Scherzer, please come back soon. Your team is about to take over the NL East. Congrats on the division title! The Braves will hibernate in October with their precious prospects where (hopefully) the Nats beat the Dodgers.

    On a serious note, I’m not convinced by the Dodgers. I don’t know what or how, but hopefully at some point somebody catches them cheating.

    So Carrasco found out he had leukemia in late May, and beat it in 2 1/2 months? I’m not familiar with the disease, but it seems like a pretty quick recovery. That’s awesome for Carlos, all things considered.

      He is still undergoing treatment for the type of leukemia he’s afflicted with.

    Odd…..a team with a shakey pitching staff with a record of around 40 games about .500. ?????
    Shakey?? Oh well.

      It clearly says “shaky New York rotation”, not “pitching staff”, and despite the team record the rotation certainly has been shakey.

    Domingo German, despite his MLB best 16-2 record, will show how unimportant a pitcher’s W/L record is when they vote for the AL Cy Young. His pedestrian ERA of 3.96 to go with his 116 innings pitched and 124 strikeouts are all far below the actual contenders for the Cy Young award.
