Royals ace Cole Ragans has a “very mild left groin strain,” per manager Matt Quatraro. The left-hander was removed after just three innings (62 pitches) in Game 1 of a doubleheader on Thursday with what was described at the time as groin tightness.

Kansas City Royals ace left-hander Cole Ragans will undergo testing on his left groin after sustaining the injury and leaving Thursday's start against the Colorado Rockies after three innings. Ragans had trouble getting loose in the bullpen prior to the game and the soreness continued through his 62-pitch outing.
