Kansas City Royals take San Francisco series behind bullpen, bats
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals took two of three games in their series against the San Francisco Giants. They won the first, lost the second and then won the third and final game today, May 21, 8-4. The game today was an interesting one; with both Cole Ragans and Seth Lugo on the IL, the Royals bullpen banded together to get the win before heading back to Minnesota to take on the hottest team in baseball. Advertisement Royals number 1 prospect Jac Caglianone promoted to Triple-A Bullpen day in lieu of Ragans, Lugo Six bullpen arms were on the mound for KC today, starting with Daniel Lynch IV. Here's who threw for the Royals on a bullpen day in San Fran: Daniel Lynch IV: 1.2 innings, one hit, three walks, two strikeouts Jonathan Bowlan (W): 1.1 innings, two hits, one earned run, strikeout Seven Cruz: Two innings, two hits, one earned run, two walks, strikeout Taylor Clarke: Two innings, strikeout Angel Zerpa: One inning, one hit, strikeout Lucas Erceg: One inning, two hits, two earned runs, walk, strikeout Perez, others back on track Salvador Perez had a three-hit game today, capatilized by a fourth inning two-run homer. Perez has been slumping as of late, so it's a sign that maybe the veteran Captain is getting back into a groove. Bobby Witt Jr. and Maikel Garcia continued their hot hitting; both had a pair of hits, a run scored and a couple of RBI. The two left-infielders are batting over .300 in 2025. Advertisement Additionally, Drew Waters had a multi-hit game with two hits and a run scored. Michael Massey continues to get back on track seemingly, he had three hits today with an RBI. University of Kansas Basketball alum joins Self staff as assistant Up Next The Royals have the day off tomorrow before playing the Minnesota Twins on Friday at 7:10 p.m. The Twins are incredibly hot right now, piling up wins to crawl back into American League Central contention after starting the year 7-15. They're 19-6 over their last 25. The Royals, on the other hand, have more wins than the Twins but they also have more losses. The Royals are 28-23, the Twins 27-22. They're tied for second place in the ALC, so this weekends series should be competitive and entertaining to say the least. Advertisement Friday's game will see LHP Noah Cameron (1-1, 0.71 ERA) fill the hole in the rotation once again. He'll face righty Pablo Lopez (4-2, 2.40 ERA). Hopefully, Lugo and Ragans will be back in the rotation in time so KC doesn't need to tax the bullpen so heavily again early in the year. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Royals lose pitchers Cole Ragans and Seth Lugo to the 15-day injured list
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City Royals All-Star pitchers Cole Ragans and Seth Lugo were placed on the 15-day injured list on Saturday. Left-hander Ragans was moved to the list with a left groin strain and right-hander Lugo with a third finger sprain. Lefties Noah Cameron and Evan Sisk were recalled from Triple-A Omaha in corresponding moves. Cameron is slated to start for the Royals against the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday night. It would be the second start of his career. Ragans exited in the sixth inning of a 10-3 loss to the Cardinals on Saturday night with groin tightness. He had given up four runs on five hits with no walks and seven strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings before exiting the game. 'The groin feels fine today, not as stiff as when I came out of the game last night,' Ragans said. 'Just a couple of weeks of rest, continue throwing and get ready to go after the IL stint.' The 2024 All-Star selection is 2-3 with a 4.53 ERA in nine starts this season. Ragans skipped a start on April 30 with a left groin strain. 'With Ragans, we didn't know it was going to happen,' Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. 'We were hoping that taking the one out of the rotation would help, but we are going to need to take a little more measures and have him out on the IL.' Lugo, also a 2024 All-Star, has not pitched since May 11. He is 3-4 with a 3.02 ERA in nine starts this season. 'The finger feels better and has progressed pretty good so far,' Lugo said. 'At this point of the season, it is better to get healthy and be 100% out there than try to push through.' Lugo and Ragans finished second and fourth, respectively, in the American League Cy Young ballot last season. Lugo won an AL Gold Glove. 'We were hopeful we could be able to avoid (the injured list) with Lugo, but with the inflammation still there and essentially a sprained middle finger,' Quatraro said. 'We just need to get him symptom-free before he can start throwing again.'
