Out for season with shoulder injury Bubic (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of the season, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Impact Bubic was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday after being diagnosed with a left rotator cuff strain, and the Royals will give him the rest of the season to recover. It's an unfortunate ending to what has been a breakout 2025 campaign for Bubic, who posted a 2.55 ERA and 116:39 K:BB over 116.1 innings covering 20 starts. The Royals are hopeful that the left-hander can recover after extended rest and have a normal offseason.

Out with rotator cuff strain The Royals placed Bubic (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Sunday after he was diagnosed with a left rotator cuff strain.
Impact Coming out of his start in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Guardians, Bubic complained of shoulder stiffness, and the Royals quickly determined after sending him in for further evaluation that he was dealing with an injury to his rotator cuff. According to Anne Rogers of MLB.com, Royals manager Matt Quatraro said that Bubic will undergo further testing before the team determines his next steps, but the left-hander is a good bet to miss more than the minimum 15 days while he recovers from the injury. The loss of Bubic -- who earned his first All-Star nod after compiling a 2.55 ERA and 1.18 WHIP with 116 strikeouts in 116.1 innings over his first 20 starts of the season -- is a devastating blow to a Kansas City rotation that has already been without ace Cole Ragans (shoulder) since early June.

Impact The left-hander's fastball has averaged 92.1 mph this season, but he sat at 90.2 mph during Saturday's contest while tying a season high with four walks over just 2.2 innings. Bubic will likely be evaluated throughout the week, and his availability for his next turn through the rotation, which tentatively lines up for next weekend in Toronto, is firmly up in the air.

Lacks control in loss Bubic (8-7) allowed four runs (three earned) on three hits and four walks while striking out one over 2.2 innings, taking the loss in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader ver...
Impact Bubic threw just 35 of 66 pitches for strikes in this outing, which was his shortest of the season. He's allowed 10 runs (nine earned) over 20.1 innings across four starts in July, but he's also walked 10 batters this month, a trend that will make it tough for him to replicate his first-half success if it continues. Bubic has a 2.55 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 116:39 K:BB through 116.1 innings across 20 starts this season. His next start is tentatively projected to be in a tough road matchup in Toronto.

Delivers five shutout frames Bubic (8-6) allowed three hits and a walk over five scoreless innings Sunday, striking out two and earning a win over the Marlins.
Impact Bubic cruised through five shutout innings on just 66 pitches with little threat from Miami. He left with a 6-0 lead, which may be part of the reason he didn't go deeper in the contest, but his velocity was also down across the board. Specifically, his fastball averaged just 90.5 mph, down from his usual 92.3 mph. Bubic posted a 4.86 ERA in his last six outings before the All-Star break but still owns a terrific 2.38 ERA with a 115:35 K:BB over 113.2 innings. He's currently lined up for a home matchup with Cleveland next weekend.
