Kris Bubic Expected to Begin Rehab Assignment on Wednesday
Kansas City Royals left-hander Kris Bubic (elbow) is expected to start a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday night, the team announced. Bubic will give it another try with a rehab assignment after previously being pulled from his rehab assignment with Omaha on June 9, after he experienced shoulder discomfort. The 28-year-old southpaw initially landed on the 15-day injured list on May 18 with soreness in his left elbow. He has been cleared to make another rehab start after throwing a two-inning simulated live bullpen session over the weekend. The Royals will likely require Bubic to make more than one rehab assignment, so he could be pushing it close to returning before the All-Star break in mid-July. KC could use the rotation reinforcement with fellow left-hander Cole Ragans potentially needing season-ending elbow surgery. Before his elbow injury, Bubic had gone 3-2 with a 4.11 ERA (3.72 FIP) and 1.23 WHIP with 51 strikeouts and 26 walks in 50 1/3 innings across nine starts. He was a first-time All-Star in 2025 and is a pitching stash candidate off the waiver wire for rotation depth in the second half. Bubic is rostered in under half of Yahoo leagues.
