Royals LHP Cole Ragans (rotator cuff) lands on IL
June 11 - 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. --Field Level Media

Royals place All-Star pitcher Cole Ragans back on the IL and activate reliever Lucas Erceg
Updated [hour]:[minute] [AMPM] [timezone], [monthFull] [day], [year] KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Royals put left-hander Cole Ragans back on the injured list after one dismal start against the Cardinals, this time with a left rotator cuff strain, and activated reliever Lucas Erceg from the IL before Wednesday night's game against the Yankees. Right-hander Jonathan Bowlan also was recalled from Triple-A Omaha and right-hander Trevor Richards was designated for assignment. The 27-year-old Ragans, an All-Star for Kansas City last season, went on the IL in mid-May with a left groin strain. He returned three weeks later at St. Louis, where he allowed five runs on five hits and three walks in just three innings. Ragans went 11-9 with a 3.14 ERA in 34 starts last season. He is 2-3 with a 5.18 ERA in 10 starts this season. The Royals have the luxury of six starters in their rotation, which means losing Ragans for a while does not dramatically alter their plans. Kris Bubic and Noah Cameron have been revelations early in the season, while veterans Seth Lugo, Michael Wacha and Michael Lorenzen have been able to give the club dependable innings. Erceg, who closed games last season but had mostly been used as a setup man for Carlos Estevez, had been on the injured list since May 27 because of a low back strain. He's appeared in 24 games with a 1.96 ERA across 23 innings. Bowlan has made nine appearances for Kansas City this season, going 1-1 with a 4.09 ERA, and should provide some length in the bullpen. Richards allowed four runs over three innings in three appearances during his stint with the Royals. ___ AP MLB:

Royals place Michael Massey on injured list, recall Tyler Tolbert before series-opener vs Yankees
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Royals placed second baseman Michael Massey on the 10-day injured list with a sprained left ankle and recalled utility man Tyler Tolbert from Triple-A Omaha before starting a three-game series against the Yankees on Tuesday night. Massey had served as the designated hitter on Saturday against the White Sox but did not finish the game, and he was out of the lineup for the series finale . He is hitting just .202 with two homers and 14 RBIs in 56 games this season. 'The same ankle injury that he's been dealing with since the last homestand. It's just not getting any better, or it's not improving enough to go out there and play at a high level,' Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. 'He got an MRI to show that things weren't healing as well as we would like. So, we needed to make a move to get him some rest.' In other news, the Royals expect to have reliever Lucas Erceg back before they wrap up their series against New York. He threw a clean inning against Omaha on Sunday night as he works his way back from a lower back strain. Erceg has appeared in 24 games with a 1.96 ERA for Kansas City this season. ___ AP MLB:
