Kris Bubic Throws Two Scoreless Innings in Second Rehab Start
Kansas City Royals left-hander Kris Bubic (elbow) had another successful minor-league rehab appearance for Triple-A Omaha on Saturday, tossing two scoreless innings with two hits allowed, no walks, and no strikeouts against Triple-A Columbus. In his first rehab outing on Wednesday with the Storm Chasers, the 28-year-old southpaw threw a perfect inning. He is slowly working his way back after being placed on the 15-day injured list on May 18 with soreness in his left elbow. Bubic was nearing a return before being shut down with discomfort in his left shoulder after a rehab appearance on June 9. Based on how slowly his rehab assignment is currently going, it's unlikely that Bubic will be fully stretched out enough to rejoin the Royals' starting rotation before the All-Star break in mid-July. The former first-rounder in 2018 out of Stanford University should be an option for fantasy managers in deep-mixed leagues, at the very least, when he comes off the IL next month. Before injuring his elbow, Bubic went 3-2 with a 4.11 ERA and 1.23 WHIP with 51 strikeouts in 50 1/3 innings pitched over his nine starts. He was a first-time All-Star in 2025, when he went 8-7 with a career-low 2.55 ERA (2.89 FIP), 1.18 WHIP, and 116:39 K:BB in 116 1/3 innings and 20 starts.
