Royals Put Kris Bubic on IL After Shoulder Setback
TL;DR
Royals left-hander Kris Bubic was shut down after receiving a cortisone shot for shoulder soreness and will rest 7–10 days before attempting to ramp up again. The update follows a season interrupted by elbow issues and a rotator cuff strain earlier in 2023–24, and leaves Kansas City thin in a rotation already missing Cole Ragans to UCL surgery. With a 35-53 record and a looming trade deadline, Bubic’s health—and his status as an impending free agent—could impact potential deals, while the Royals ride with a rotation of Lugo, Wacha, Cameron, Kolek and Avila as they wait for his return.
