Carlos Carrasco diagnosed with blood condition, placed on IL

CLEVELAND _ The Indians on Wednesday announced that starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco is being added to the non-baseball, medical condition injured list and will be stepping away from baseball activities for the time being.

Carrasco, after feeling lethargic for the last several weeks, has been diagnosed with a blood condition, according to the team. Details of the condition will be conveyed at the discretion of Carrasco and his family.

As Carrasco explores different treatment options, he'll be stepping away from baseball. The Indians don't yet know when Carrasco will be able to return to the team, but they do expect him back at some point this season.

Carrasco this season has posted a 4-6 record and 4.98 ERA with 79 strikeouts in 65 innings.

The Indians also optioned outfielder Greg Allen to Triple-A and recalled right-handed pitchers Jon Edwards and Nick Goody.
