is being treated for leukemia.
Carrasco made the revelation to a TV station while on a visit to the Dominican Republic, where he was visiting a hospital. Carrasco, who was diagnosed with the blood disorder in June, remains positive about his prognosis and believes he will pitch again this season. The 32-year-old right-hander was feeling lethargic in May and told CDN doctors "saw something different in my blood."Carrasco has developed into one of the AL’s steadiest pitchers in recent years. He won 17 games last season and went 18-6 in 2017, when he finished fourth in the AL Cy Young Award voting.
He has been with Cleveland since 2009. The Indians signed him to a $47 million, four-year contract in December.
Get better! Leukemia is highly amenable to treatment!
😢 You can beat this Carlos!
Aw brutal. Positive vibes to you Carlos. Know that this is scary but Leukaemia is not the death sentence it used to be. It’s a pain in the a$$ but you will beat this.

Lmao At least she was repping her ministry - speaking to a 'sports' team owner at a 'cultural' event that was a major 'tourism boon' to Simcoe County.... just not sure that calling the owner of the Senators a 'f'ing loser' is decorum expected of a MPP. I think it's really nice of minister MacLeodLisa to show us exactly how we should interact with HER any time we wish to offer feedback about her own job performance. onpoli fairisfair gooseganderetc
