Royals outfielder Mark Canha placed on 10-day IL with left elbow injury
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals placed outfielder Mark Canha on the 10-day injured list with a left elbow injury Tuesday. Canha is in his first season with the Royals after being acquired in a trade during spring training. He's hitting .212 with a .537 OPS in 46 games this season. Kansas City manager Matt Quatraro said Canha's injury doesn't appear to be serious. 'I did some research,' he said. 'Epicondylitis is 'tennis elbow tendinitis.' It's been bothering him for a week or so. He thought he'd work through it and turn the corner a little bit. But a couple of swings yesterday really aggravated it, and he's more sore. He knew he wasn't going to be able to put good swings on the ball.' In a corresponding move, infielder Cam Devanney was selected from Triple-A Omaha. He will make his MLB debut in his first appearance with the club, though he was not in the starting lineup Tuesday. To make room on the 40-man roster, left-handed pitcher Cole Ragans was transferred to the 60-day IL. He has been on the IL since June 11 with a left rotator cuff strain. Quatraro said Ragans' move was strictly 'procedural.' 'It gives us a roster spot to call up,' he continued. 'He's not going to be back by that date (when he's eligible to return from the 60-day list), so there was no risk for us to do that. And it gives us the 40-man spot.' Ragans has had injuries all season after a 2024 season that saw him reach his first All-Star Game and finish fourth in the AL Cy Young voting. Ragans said this move won't affect his return to the Royals rotation. 'That's a month away,' he said. 'I started throwing yesterday, so I don't really have a full timeline, but it'll be a lot further into the throwing progression. We needed a roster spot, and that made sense. It literally does not change anything on how I come back, or when I come back.' For Devanney, it's a dream come true. He said his parents, his sister and a couple of friends who could get off work will be in attendance. 'I think they're getting here about an hour before game time, so it's gonna be a little close,' he said. 'But I think they're gonna make it.' In 69 games with Omaha, he's batting .272 with 18 home runs and 55 RBIs. 'It's surreal, man, I'm still processing,' he said. 'I think you survive in this game (by) being adaptable and versatile. I understand the dynamic up here and what they're looking for, so I'm just trying to fit their needs.' Quatraro complimented Devanney's versatility. 'Cam's had a great year in Triple-A,' Quatraro said. 'He had a good year last year. He's played really well in the infield. He's played some outfield as well. So his versatility and another right-handed bat was something we were looking for. He could be a versatile player off the bench, which is what he'll be tonight, but we're not going to be afraid to play him either.' ___ AP MLB:

Royals call up Drew Waters, put Mark Canha on injured list
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals recalled OF Drew Waters from Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday to replace OF Mark Canha, who was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left abductor strain. Canha was injured in Tuesday's 2-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins when he crashed into the wall in left center. Canha stayed in the game for the remainder of the inning but then asked to be taken out. Kansas City manager Matt Quatraro is hopeful that Canha's stint on the IL is a short one. 'It's a mild strain,' Quatraro said. 'So we're hopeful that it's 10 days, maybe just a hair more than that. But you have to see how the first couple days go.' Waters was hitting .370 with Omaha and was named the International League player of the week for March 31-April 6, during which he hit for the first cycle of his professional career. Waters has appeared in 137 games over his three seasons with the Royals, with a career-high 98 games in 2023. He appeared in just seven games in 2024. He's hoping that his early season success in Omaha will lead to the opportunity to finally stick with the major league club. 'Honestly, I've just been trying to compete, trying to stay locked in,' he said. 'It's hard in minor league games when it's freezing cold and there's 30 fans out there, but I've just been treating every at-bat like it matters and living with the results. 'Anytime you have an opportunity to come up and play a game at a big league level, that's a lot of trust and a lot of faith that a team is putting in to you, and so to have that opportunity is definitely special. 'Just knowing that I'm a good baseball player and that I'm capable of having success, I think that's what keeps everybody hungry.'
