The Royals announced Cole Ragans will not make his regularly scheduled start on Wednesday due to a mild groin injury he suffered on Saturday. Instead the team will call up left-hander Noah Cameron to make his MLB debut.
Cameron hails from St. Joseph, Missouri and attended St. Joseph Central High School before pitching at the University of Central Arkansas. He missed the entire 2021 season following Tommy John surgery, but the Royals gambled and selected him in the seventh round of the draft. He had a terrific debut season in 2022, but his ERA ballooned the next year despite some impressive strikeout-to-walk numbers.
