Mandatory Credit: Denny Medley-Imagn Images | Denny Medley-Imagn Images The Royals and Guardians square off in game four of their four-game series this afternoon at 1:10 p. m.
at Kauffman Stadium. The Royals won the first two games of the series to push their winning streak to five before dropping last night’s game, 3-1. Of course, the bigger news out of the game was Cole Ragans leaving early due to triceps and elbow soreness/discomfort.
Thankfully, it doesn’t sound like anything too serious. Hopefully some positive news on Cole Ragans. Matt Quatraro saying he doesn’t think it’s serious and hopeful he makes his next start.
Cole felt it in the third and Royals wanted to be cautious. — Joel Goldberg (@goldbergkc) May 7, 2026 Anne Rogers followed up this morning with a post that Ragans had testing done and is awaiting results. And so we wait with him.
