Royals' Cole Ragans: Set for second opinion
Ragans will get a second opinion on his shoulder injury next week, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
After landing on the injured list Wednesday, Ragans underwent initial imaging on his left shoulder that confirmed a strain. The Royals believe that he will avoid surgery for the time being, though manager Matt Quatraro admitted that nothing will be conclusive until further testing occurs. There is no timeline for Ragans' return, but he will almost certainly be sidelined for longer than the minimum 15 days.

Royals' Cole Ragans: Hits IL with rotator cuff strain
The Royals placed Ragans on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a left rotator cuff strain.
Ragans last pitched Thursday, getting knocked around for five runs over three innings in St. Louis in his first start back from a groin injury. It's not clear whether he suffered the rotator cuff injury during that outing or sometime since then, but either way, it's an injury that will likely sideline him longer than the minimum 15 days. Ragans' move to the IL should extend rookie Noah Cameron's stay in the rotation.

Royals' Cole Ragans: Struggles in return
Ragans (groin) allowed five runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four over three innings in a no-decision in Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Royals.
Ragans squandered a four-run lead in the third inning, and that was enough to end his first start back after missing nearly three weeks with the groin injury. He wasn't very sharp, throwing just 47 of 78 pitches for strikes in his return. The southpaw has gone no more than five innings in any of his last six outings, and he's given up at least four runs in five of them. He's at a 5.18 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 76:16 K:BB through 48.2 innings over 10 starts this season. Ragans is tentatively projected to make his next start at home in a tough matchup against the Yankees.

Royals' Cole Ragans: Officially back on mound
The Royals reinstated Ragans (groin) from the injured list Thursday.
Ragans is set to take the mound Thursday in St. Louis for the second part of a doubleheader. This will be the southpaw's first start since May 16 when he injured his groin. In a corresponding move, the Royals designated Thomas Hatch for assignment.

Royals' Cole Ragans: Rejoining rotation Thursday
Ragans (groin) is scheduled to be reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start Thursday against the Cardinals, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Ragans allowed four earned runs over 3.2 innings during his rehab start with Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Saturday, and he apparently showed enough for Kansas City to put him on a big-league mound for his next outing. The 27-year-old will end up missing little more than the 15-day minimum due to groin soreness, though he could still face some minor workload limitations in his first start back in the big leagues.

Royals' Cole Ragans: Starting rehab assignment
Ragans (groin) will report to Double-A Northwest Arkansas to begin a rehab assignment Saturday.
The left-hander is eligible to come off the injured list Sunday, but he won't quite be ready to rejoin the Royals. Given the brevity of Ragans' absence, he may only need one outing in the minors before being re-inserted into Kansas City's rotation.

Royals' Cole Ragans: Throwing bullpen, rehab start soon
Ragans (groin) is throwing a two-up bullpen Wednesday and is then expected to make a rehab start this weekend, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Ragans has been on the injured list since May 17 and becomes eligible for reinstatement Sunday, but it seems as though he'll need more time before rejoining the active roster. The Royals haven't announced their full plans, but the left-hander may only need one rehab start before being activated given the brevity of his absence.

Royals' Cole Ragans: Completes side session Sunday
Ragans (groin) threw a "competitive" bullpen session Sunday, MLB.com reports.
Ragans is eligible to return from the 15-day injured list this Sunday, but the Royals haven't officially confirmed that he'll be ready to go by that day. That said, after checking out fine following the bullpen session, Ragans looks to be on track for a minimum-length stay on the shelf. The Royals may want Ragans to complete another bullpen session or possibly a live batting practice session before deciding on his next step. Daniel Lynch will make his second start Tuesday against the Reds but is likely to move back to the bullpen once Ragans is activated.

Royals' Cole Ragans: Playing catch
Ragans (groin) has been playing catch and is expected to return from the injured list when eligible June 1, MLB.com reports.
Ragans exited his start May 16 due to left groin tightness, but it sounds like he'll miss the minimum amount of time. He has a 4.53 ERA this season but an excellent 72:13 K:BB in 45.2 innings.

Royals' Cole Ragans: Moved to 15-day IL
Kansas City placed Ragans (groin) on the 15-day injured list Saturday.
Ragans exited his start Friday versus St. Louis due to left groin tightness, and the issue has resulted in a trip to the IL. Seth Lugo (finger) also landed on the IL on Saturday, so the Royals' rotation is suddenly quite thin. Noah Cameron was called up from Triple-A to start Saturday and will likely get additional turns in the rotation, but it's unclear at this point how Kansas City will fill the other starting slot.

Royals' Cole Ragans: Battling groin tightness
Ragans exited Friday's game against St. Louis due to left groin tightness.
Ragans gave up four runs in five-plus innings before an athletic trainer took him out of the game. The left-hander is tentatively scheduled to make his next start Wednesday in San Francisco, though it's unclear if he'll be able to do so.

Royals' Cole Ragans: Exits with trainer
Ragans was removed from his start Friday against the Cardinals with an apparent injury, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.
Ragans' fastball was noticeably down in the sixth inning, and after allowing a leadoff single to Masyn Winn, the 27-year-old southpaw left the game alongside a trainer. The Royals will presumably take a closer look at him to determine what's wrong, and he can be considered day-to-day until the team provides an update. Ragans finished Friday's contest with four earned runs allowed on five hits and zero walks with seven strikeouts across five-plus frames.

Royals' Cole Ragans: Punches out eight in loss
Ragans (2-2) took the loss against the Red Sox on Saturday, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out eight over five innings.
Ragans gave up one run through the first four innings, but he was tagged for three more in the fifth on three consecutive RBI singles. He generated 14 whiffs on 95 pitches (65 strikes), and while he's recorded at least eight strikeouts in six of eight starts this season, he has also yielded at least four earned runs in three of his last four outings. Ragans has a 4.20 ERA and 1.23 WHIP over 40.2 innings, and his 65 strikeouts is tied with Garrett Crochet for second most in the American League behind Carlos Rodon (67). Ragans is lined up to face the Cardinals at home next weekend.
