Overview

• Cole Ragans will miss his next start due to a mild left groin strain sustained during his outing against the Rockies last week.
• The Royals have called up left-handed pitching prospect Noah Cameron to make his Major League debut on Wednesday in Tampa.
• Ragans is scheduled for a bullpen session this week to assess his recovery and could return to the rotation as early as this weekend in Baltimore or next week at home.
• Cameron, the Royals’ No. 5 prospect, has posted a 3.22 ERA over 22⅓ innings in Triple-A Omaha this season and was added to the 40-man roster this offseason.
• Known for his refined five-pitch mix, including a newly added slider, Cameron brings strong command and poise to his first MLB opportunity.
