Andrus exits early; Ragans needs 2nd TJ surgery

Texas Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus left with tightness in his right hamstring after grounding out to end the seventh inning against the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night.

He will be evaluated again Wednesday in another blow to a team that has lost five straight to fall a season-worst five games below .500. The Rangers and Royals next play Wednesday at 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN+.

Also, Rangers left-hander Cole Ragans, their first-round pick in the 2016 draft, will need a second Tommy John surgery after tearing his ulnar collateral ligament.
