<p>KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals placed outfielder Mark Canha on the 10-day injured list with a left elbow injury Tuesday.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Kansas City manager Matt Quatraro said Canha's injury doesn't appear to be serious.</p>
<p>"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."</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Quatraro said Ragans' move was strictly "procedural."</p>
<p>"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."</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Ragans said this move won't affect his return to the Royals rotation.</p>
<p>"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."</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>"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."</p>
<p>In 69 games with Omaha, he's batting .272 with 18 home runs and 55 RBIs.</p>
<p>"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."</p>
<p>Quatraro complimented Devanney's versatility.</p>
<p>"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."</p>
