Logs two relief innings Bubic allowed a run on one hit and two walks with three strikeouts in two innings during Thursday's 4-2 loss to Cleveland.
Impact Bubic lined up to start Friday versus the White Sox, but his turn in the rotation has been skipped after his Thursday relief appearance. The southpaw had an awful August, posting a 7.15 ERA and 1.76 WHIP in 22.2 innings across five starts. After Thursday, his ratios have inflated to a 5.16 ERA and 1.53 WHIP with a 91:52 K:BB. A 4.7 BB/9 rate is not going to generate much success in general. Per Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star, Bubic is expected to return to the rotation next week on short rest by starting Monday versus lowly Baltimore.

Falters versus Seattle Bubic pitched 4.1 innings against Seattle on Friday, allowing five runs on nine hits and four walks while striking out six. He did not factor in the decision.
Impact The southpaw entered the contest with some momentum after a strong outing against the Cubs, but he couldn't keep things going Friday. Bubic tied his season highs with nine hits and four walks while completing less than five innings for the third time in his past four starts. Only two of the hits against him went for extra bases, but the volume of singles and walks was enough to force Bubic into an early exit. He'll try to straighten things out in his next start, which is likely to take place at home versus the White Sox next weekend.

Fans nine in win over Cubs Bubic (4-6) picked up the win in Saturday's 4-2 victory over the Cubs, allowing two runs on one hit and two walks over 6.1 innings. He struck out a season-high nine.
Impact The young southpaw took a no-hitter into the seventh inning before a 34-minute rain delay derailed his momentum, and he served up a two-run blast to Patrick Wisdom once play resumed in the seventh. Bubic bounced back in fine fashion from a seven-run disaster in his last outing, but performances like Saturday's have been the norm for him since the All-Star break as he has five quality starts in his last seven trips to the mound. Over that stretch, he sports a 4.21 ERA and 34:16 K:BB through 36.1 innings.

Bounced in second inning Bubic (3-6) allowed seven runs on nine hits and a walk over 1.1 innings Sunday, striking out one and taking a loss against St. Louis.
Impact Bubic was hit hard right out of the gate Sunday, allowing three runs in the first inning as the Cardinals brought all nine starters to the plate. He then coughed up four more runs in the second, including homers by Nolan Arenado and Tyler O'Neill. The 23-year-old southpaw tossed 56 pitches as his season ERA shot up from 4.43 to 5.09 through 86.2 innings. Bubic had given up seven runs over 22.2 innings (2.78 ERA) over his four previous starts. He's lined up to face the Cubs on the road next weekend.

Walks four in short outing Bubic allowed one run on four hits and four walks over 4.2 innings in Sunday's win over St. Louis. He struck out four and did not factor in the decision.
Impact Surprisingly, despite the inefficient outing, the only run to score on Bubic was a leadoff homer by Dylan Carlson to start the game. On the bright side, it was his fifth straight start allowing three or fewer runs, lowering his season ERA to 4.43 through 85.1 frames. The 23-year-old southpaw has just one win over his last nine starts and still owns a 3-5 record. Bubic is projected to face St. Louis at home next weekend.

Strikes out eight in loss Bubic (3-5) allowed three earned runs on three hits and three walks while striking out eight across six innings to take the loss Tuesday against the White Sox.
Impact Bubic was hurt by the long ball, as all three of the earned runs against him came on home runs. However, he was otherwise solid, both limiting baserunners and racking up strikeouts. Bubic has quietly put together four consecutive quality starts, during which he's allowed eight earned runs across 24 innings while striking out 20 and walking nine. While not dominant, he's seemingly moved past his early season struggles, when he posted a 5.40 ERA and 1.59 WHIP across his first 56.2 frames.
