We have a Cole Ragans injury update for you, as the Texas Rangers pitcher threw what Evan Grant describes as “batting practice/simulated game” action, with Ragans stopping and then going back out again “to simulate more than one inning.”
That’s good news, I think. Ragans was placed on the 15 day injured list, retroactive to August 23, with what was described as calf strain, though Ragans indicated at the time it was “precautionary,” and it would seem likely that the move was, as much as anything, a way to get Ragans a break and keep him from hitting his innings limit this year too soon.
