Ragsdale is recovering from thoracic outlet syndrome surgery this spring, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports.
As a point of reference, Brewers pitching prospect Antoine Kelly underwent thoracic outlet syndrome surgery in November 2020 and returned in July 2021, so Ragsdale may not be able to pitch at all this season. It's a major setback, as the success rate on making a full return from this procedure isn't great, and Ragsdale was coming off a strong 2021 season at Low-A.
