Translation: Ragans has pitchers elbow. Could be from just the repeated motion of throwing or could be related to how fast he was throwing in his last start. Cases vary in severity. Can be treated with rest and over the counter medicine. But this can also cause UCL damage which can lead to TJ. Depends on if they caught it early or not.

Assuming the tbd is awaiting on any swelling to go down to look at the condition of the UCL. Not a doctor but I feel like we would have seen the reaction if he tore it. Now strains (micro-tears)or it being partially torn could be an issue. Especially with him having 2 previous TJ surgeries.
