Kris Bubic to Start a Rehab Assignment on Tuesday
The Kansas City Royals announced on Monday that they expect left-hander Kris Bubic (elbow) to start a minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Omaha. Bubic is finally ready to return to game action after building up his arm over the last couple of weeks. Since he hasn't pitched in a game since May 14 due to soreness in his left elbow, Bubic will most likely require multiple starts in the minors before he's cleared to come off the 15-day injured list and rejoin KC's starting rotation. Barring a setback, though, the 28-year-old southpaw should return to the big-league roster before the start of July. Before his elbow injury sidelined him, Bubic had gone 3-2 for the Royals 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, going 8-7 with a career-low 2.55 ERA (2.89 FIP), 1.18 WHIP, and 116:39 K:BB in 20 starts covering 116 1/3 innings. Fantasy managers searching for rotation depth may want to consider stashing Bubic sooner rather than later.
