7/07/25	Royals' $13 Million Ace Taking Crucial Step Toward Return To Kansas City. The Kansas City Royals have really been missing Cole Ragans of late. While the Royals' rotation has actually performed quite well in Ragans' absence (he's been out since early June with a rotator cuff strain), they've been missing his strikeout ability and occasional deep start. Kansas City's bullpen is taxed heading into the All-Star break, and the team could use a tone-setter. While it doesn't seem like Ragans will be back right after the break, he's at least taking a crucial step toward his return to the mound on Monday.

7/06/25	Royals' Breakout Starter Predicted To Make AL All-Star Roster. The Kansas City Royals have been struggling this season. At 42-48, they are 14 games back of the first-place Detroit Tigers in the American League Central. While Cole Ragans has struggled, the team has received major contributions from left-hander Kris Bubic, who is having a breakout campaign with the Royals. When predicting the final All-Star rosters for each league, which will be revealed late on Sunday, Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report had Bubic as one of the pitchers that could make the cut for the AL.

7/03/25	Royals Predicted To Bring 6-Foot-8 Flamethrower To Kansas City. The Kansas City Royals have become something of a pitching factory over the last few seasons.

6/05/25	Royals make crucial Cole Ragans roster move. The Kansas City Royals (32-20) are firmly in the American League Wild Card picture after two-plus months of baseball, and they have their stout pitching staff to thank for it.

Until it does, however, manager Matt Quatraro will need as many competent arms as possible. The Royals activated All-Star Cole Ragans from the injured list, per MLB.com's Anne Rogers.
