Cole Ragans Stats

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Cole Ragans launched six two-run innings on three hits and four walks with five strikeouts for his seventh win of the year in Friday's start against the Houston Astros. The 25-year-old was spotted an early four-run lead before Yordan Alvarez tagged him for an RBI double in the first inning. Jose Abreu then took a high fastball yard in the second frame, but Ragans pitched quite well otherwise. The southpaw has authored an incredible post-All-Star break story, leading the American League with a masterful 2.34 ERA in 11 starts (65 1/3 innings). Ragans has also fanned 81 during this phenomenal string of success, and the Royals have to love the compensation they received for Aroldis Chapman's expiring contract earlier this summer thus far. Ragans will have a prime chance to put a bow on his second half in his final 2023 start set for Thursday against the Detroit Tigers.

Kansas City Royals lefty Cole Ragans had an impressive night on Tuesday when he went seven scoreless innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates, striking out nine while allowing no runs on three hits and one walk. His club couldn't back him up, though, as they fell to the Pirates 6-3. Ragans now owns a 3.27 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and 29.5% strikeout rate across 66 innings. The 25-year-old began the season in Texas, but since his move to Kansas City, he's been on fire, authoring a 1.73 ERA in seven starts. Ragans has made himself a must-add in all formats, and his next start is scheduled for Monday against the Chicago White Sox.

Kansas City Royals left-hander Cole Ragans will make his fifth start of the season on Friday against Jameson Taillon and the Chicago Cubs. The 25-year-old has been productive after moving to the rotation, posting a 2.38 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, and 28.7% strikeout rate across 22 2/3 innings. However, Ragans was roughed up a bit in his last game, allowing four runs in five innings, and he owns a 4.21 ERA overall through 21 appearances in 2023. Fantasy managers in deeper formats can add the second-year player, as he can provide strikeouts and a decent ERA.
