Royals manager Matt Quatraro says that left-hander Cole Ragans will likely require some kind of surgery on his elbow. “We anticipate it being a surgical procedure,” Quatraro said, per Jaylon T. Thompson of the Kansas City Star. “We don’t know, as of right now, what it means. He’s got to see another doctor as well, but we anticipate it being surgical.” Ragans is already on the 60-day injured list.
The lack of detail in that update mean a wide variety of possibilities are still on the table. Elbow surgery can, on the low end, mean an absence of just a few weeks. For an extreme example, Tigers lefty Tarik Skubal recently underwent surgery to remove a loose body from his elbow. He was only on the injured list for about six weeks. The other end of the spectrum would be Tommy John surgery, which usually requires 14 months or more of recovery time.
Regardless, it’s an unfortunate update for Ragans. He first landed on the IL a week into May with an elbow impingement. A couple of weeks later, he made one rehab appearance, but that was shut down due to elbow stiffness. Ten days ago, Quatraro said that Ragans woke up not feeling well and would be sent for more testing. Though there still aren’t a lot of details available, it seems the testing is pointing towards surgical intervention.
More to come.
