Carlos Carrasco to have innings limit
Carlos Carrasco - S - Cleveland Indians
Feb. 1, 2013 - 2:15 PM ET

Indians general manager Chris Antonetti said Carlos Carrasco (elbow) will be on an innings limit this season.

"In Carlos' case," Antonetti said, "we do have to be cognizant of him completing his rehab process and his innings restrictions this year." Though Antonetti didn't specify what the number would be, the club obviously doesn't want to overwork the 25-year-old in his first year back from Tommy John surgery. Carrasco has been given a clean bill of health heading into spring training, though, and will compete for one of the final two spots in the rotation. He holds some intrigue in deeper formats.
