- On May 17, 2025, the Kansas City Royals placed two of their top pitchers, Cole Ragans and Seth Lugo, on the 15-day injured list in Kansas City, Missouri.
- Ragans suffers a left groin strain and Lugo has a sprained middle finger, with Lugo's IL move retroactive to May 14, after ongoing injury concerns.
- Noah Cameron and Evan Sisk, both left-handed pitchers, were recalled from Triple-A Omaha as corresponding roster moves, with Cameron set to start Saturday against the St. Louis Cardinals.
- Ragans leads the team in strikeouts with 72 over 45⅔ innings and a 4.53 ERA, while Lugo posted a 3.02 ERA and 42 strikeouts in 56⅔ innings this season before their injuries.
- These injuries weaken the Royals' rotation before a challenging road trip, suggesting the team needs more adjustments to compensate for losing its top starters.
