Royals’ Cole Ragans nears return with a Triple-A rehab start after elbow injury

Cole Ragans is expected to throw 60 to 65 pitches as he works back from a left elbow impingement.

  • On Saturday, Kansas City Royals left-hander Cole Ragans will make a rehab start for Triple-A Omaha as he recovers from an elbow injury, the team announced on Friday.
  • Ragans was pulled from a game against the Cleveland Guardians on May 6 after throwing 58 pitches in three scoreless innings, then placed on the 15-day injured list on May 8 with a left elbow impingement.
  • The All-Star holds a 1-4 record with a 4.84 ERA this season after undergoing Tommy John surgeries in 2018 and 2019, then returning to the major leagues in August 2022.
  • During his Triple-A Omaha appearance, the plan calls for Ragans to throw four to five innings, or 60 to 65 pitches, to rebuild durability after the layoff.
  • Meanwhile, Kansas City reliever Carlos Est faces a setback after experiencing shoulder discomfort during a rehab appearance on Wednesday and will be shut down for three weeks.
