Kansas City Royals manager Matt Quatraro delivered a bit of positive news regarding left-handed ace Cole Ragans on Friday. Quatraro said that Ragans is dealing with a “very mild” left groin strain. Ragans sustained the injury in Game 1 of Thursday’s doubleheader against the Colorado Rockies at Kauffman Stadium.

Royals ace Cole Ragans will undergo testing on his left groin after the All-Star left-hander was forced to leave Thursday's start against the Colorado Rockies after just three innings and 62 pitches.

The Kansas City Royals got a win on Thursday, but something far more concerning unfolded early in the afternoon. Royals ace Cole Ragans lasted only three innings against the lowly Colorado Rockies, and those three innings went uncharacteristically poorly.
