D.J. Carrasco may be done for 2009 due to a hamstring injury, according to the Daily Herald.
Carrasco carries a 3.76 ERA and 1.41 WHIP over 93.1 innings, and would be missed as an innings-eater in Chicago's pen for the final couple of games.
MLB.com is reporting that pitcher D.J. Carrasco will probably not make the start on Saturday in Jake Peavy is unable to go. Carrasco has been mentioned as a possibility, but the coaching staff would prefer that he stay in the bullpen, where he has thrived this season.
The old saying goes, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," and that's exactly what the Sox are doing here. Carrasco has been one of their more reliable relievers, and they don't want to jeopardize that by pushing him into a start. If Peavy can't go, Carrasco still remains a possibility, but the team will likely try to find someone else.
D.J. Carrasco was roughed up for five earned runs on nine hits over a mere four innings in Friday's 10-5 win over the Yankees at U.S. Cellular Field. He had one walk and two strikeouts.
He ends the night with a no-decision, and should be happy he avoided a loss for his terrible performance. He does not merit fantasy consideration for his next trip to the hill.
D.J. Carrasco has made Chicago's opening day roster, according to MLB.com.
Carrasco will serve as a long-reliever in the bullpen, and could also handle a setup role if needed. He held a solid 1.14 WHIP over 38.2 innings in 2008, with 30 strikeouts.
