Cole Ragans experienced more groin issues on Friday, writes Jaylon Thompson.
“It tightened up there on him in the fifth inning,” Quatraro said. “So, just trying to do the right thing. Get him out of there before something happened.”
Ragans surrendered three earned runs prior to the inning. His last two fastballs thrown registered 91.4 and 89.5 mph respectively.
“I just couldn’t use my legs,” Ragans said. “It obviously affects anything rotating, the lower half and that kind of stuff.”
Michael Massey had his first start in left field.
