Cole Ragans of the Kansas City Royals has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to a rotator cuff strain, with manager Matt Quatraro indicating a second opinion will be sought next week. Although surgery is not expected, Ragans will be sidelined from throwing for an extended period. This marks his second injury stint this season following a groin strain. The team is expected to move forward with a five-man rotation, although they will certainly miss Ragans’ significant contributions from last season when he ranked fourth in Cy Young voting.
Ragans is expected to be sidelined for a considerable time as he seeks a second opinion for a shoulder injury, which may not require surgery.
The Royals will function with a five-man rotation, which includes promising pitchers despite Ragans being a significant loss to their lineup.
Kansas City does not anticipate allocating major resources to enhance the rotation even if Ragans’ absence extends beyond July.
Cole Ragans had an impressive previous season, ranking fourth in Cy Young voting, indicating the potential impact of his injury this season.
