Indians Activate Carlos Carrasco, Dan Otero

By Anthony Franco | September 1, 2019 at 9:06am CDT

In heartwarming, if expected, news, the Indians announced today they have activated Carlos Carrasco from the 60-day injured list. The club also activated right-handed reliever Dan Otero.

It has been a trying season for Carrasco, who was shut down indefinitely in May after being diagnosed with leukemia. While he hasn’t had time to ramp up to a starter’s workload, he’ll be available in short stints for Cleveland’s postseason push. They’ve had to weather a number of injuries, but they still sit half a game up on Tampa and Oakland for the AL Wild Card. They’re also within shouting distance of the Twins in the AL Central, sitting 4.5 games out with a month to play.

Otero has been out since May 31 with right shoulder inflammation. The 34 year-old is amidst his second straight trying season, sporting just a 9.5% strikeout rate in 23.2 innings. He’s no longer an integral part of a strong Cleveland bullpen.

    Wow, that’s great news on Carlos! I’m hoping he’s back at full health. It’s amazing he was able to pitch to a sub-5 ERA.

    Unless Carrasco and or Otero can hit,they’re not going to make much of a difference. This offense has been inconsistent,to say the least,since game one. Puig and Reyes have’nt been the answer wins and losses wise since the trade. Simply put,Tribe can’t beat teams with a winning record. Even if we make playoffs,bad offense will rear it’s ugly head against playoff caliber pitching. We ain’t gonna be playing Tigers in playoffs.

    There is some potential good news on the horizon for this dark injury cloud hanging over the Tribe. If Kip’s injury turns out to be serious,Scooter Gennett and his 226/245/323 slash might be available Thursday for the low low price of only $95K to help the offense for the playoff push.
