Royals LHP Cole Ragans (rotator cuff) lands on IL






The Kansas City Royals placed left-hander Cole Ragans on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a strained left rotator cuff.
The move is retroactive to Sunday for Ragans, who last pitched on June 5 when he allowed five runs over three innings at St. Louis in his first start back from a groin injury.
Ragans, 27, is 2-3 with a 5.18 ERA through 10 starts this season. He was an All-Star with the Royals in 2024, going 11-9 with a 3.14 ERA and 223 strikeouts in 186 1/3 innings.
Kansas City also reinstated right-handed reliever Lucas Erceg from the injured list, recalled right-hander Jonathan Bowlan from Triple-A Omaha and designated right-hander Trevor Richards for assignment.
