Overview

  • The left-hander went on the injured list Monday with left-elbow soreness, and the Royals recalled Eli Morgan to fill the roster spot.
  • Bubic had been lined up to face Boston on Tuesday in a marquee matchup with Ranger Suarez, so Kansas City must rework that start.
  • He left his most recent outing Thursday after four innings against the White Sox and owns a 4.11 ERA with 51 strikeouts in 50.1 innings over nine starts.
  • Team reporters say Bubic and the club expect a short absence, though further medical testing will determine the timeline.
  • The All-Star from 2025 has a history of arm issues, and with Cole Ragans also out and the Royals sliding in the standings, this setback could limit his value before free agency at season’s end.
