Dealing with pitcher's elbow
Ragans was diagnosed with valgus extension overload in his left elbow Thursday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Análise
Ragans' elbow forced him to make an early exit from his start Wednesday after three innings. The Royals are going to allow the 28-year-old lefty to rest for a few days and see how he feels before determining next steps. Ragans said Thursday that he has already begun to feel better since leaving Wednesday's game, per Rogers, which bodes well for his chances of avoiding a trip to the IL.

Exits with sore triceps
Ragans was removed from Wednesday's game against the Guardians due to left triceps/elbow soreness.
Análise
Ragans made it through three shutout innings before being forced out of his start, during which he gave up one hit and two walks while striking out four batters. It remains unclear whether he'll be ready for his next turn through the rotation next week against the White Sox, though the Royals will likely send him in for further testing and offer an update once they have more information.
