6/05/25	Royals make crucial Cole Ragans roster move. The Kansas City Royals (32-20) are firmly in the American League Wild Card picture after two-plus months of baseball, and they have their stout pitching staff to thank for it. Despite scoring 16 runs in its previous two games versus the St. Louis Cardinals, KC's lineup has lumbered through the first third of the campaign. Until it does, however, manager Matt Quatraro will need as many competent arms as possible. The Royals activated All-Star Cole Ragans from the injured list, per MLB.com's Anne Rogers.

5/16/25	DFS: Rushing To Roster, Tigers And Expensive SPs. 11 of the top 25 starting pitchers (by SIERA) are starting today.
