Milwaukee Brewers | 3B
Overall
Summary
Cole Ragans, 28-year-old All-Star left-handed pitcher for the Kansas City Royals, was placed on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to May 7) due to left elbow impingement, also known as Valgus Extension Overload (VEO) or "pitcher's elbow." Ragans sustained the injury during a Wednesday start against Cleveland, departing after three innings. He underwent a lubricant injection to address the impingement. Manager Matt Quatraro indicated this should be a minimal IL stay with a 3-4 day shutdown period before resuming baseball activities. Ragans expressed optimism about recovery and confirmed there is no structural damage. He has previously undergone Tommy John surgery twice but stated this injury feels different. His 2026 season performance shows a 4.84 ERA over 8 starts with 10 home runs allowed in 35.1 innings.
