Cole Ragans Placed on 15-Day Injured List Due to Left Groin Injury, Expected Return in Early June

Cole Ragans is on the injured list, impacting the Kansas City Royals' pitching rotation. He has pitched in nine games this season with a 4.53 ERA and a record of 2-3. His absence means the Royals will need to rely on other starters, like Michael Wacha and Kris Bubic, during upcoming games.

Ragans' injury also affects the bullpen's workload as other pitchers take on more innings. In his nine games, he struck out 72 batters, showing his ability to get outs. The Royals will hope for a speedy recovery and that he returns to full strength in June.
