Carrasco was drafted in the 26th round of the 1997 Major League Baseball Draft by the Baltimore Orioles, but did not pitch a minor league game for them. He played for the Cleveland Indians' farm system in 1998 and for the Pittsburgh Pirates' farm system from 1999-2002. Carrasco spent all of 2003 in the majors for the Kansas City Royals and was up and down with the team from 2004-2005. He pitched three games in Japan for the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks in 2006. Carrasco then pitched for the Arizona Diamondbacks' Triple-A affiliate, the Tucson Sidewinders, in 2007. On January 11, 2008, Carrasco signed a minor league contract that included an invitation to spring training with the Chicago White Sox.
On July 9, 2008, Carrasco was recalled by the Chicago White Sox to replace injured closer Bobby Jenks. Carrasco posted a 2.38 ERA in 7 appearances with Triple-A Charlotte before being recalled. [1]
On December 12, 2009, Carrasco was non-tendered by the White Sox making him a free agent.
On January 13, 2010, Carrasco signed a minor league contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates with an invite to spring training.[2]
