US EditionRoyals Put Kris Bubic, Jac Caglianone on IL; Newly Acquired Randal Grichuk Into Starting Lineup
- The Kansas City Royals revealed on Monday that Kris Bubic, their All-Star left-handed pitcher, will be sidelined for the remainder of the 2025 campaign due to a strain in his left rotator cuff.
- Bubic's injury and recent poor performances, including his shortest start since 2022 and early exit after allowing four runs on Saturday, led to this development.
- Bubic, who boasts a 2.55 ERA and earned his first All-Star nod this season, had been an important member of the Royals’ rotation but is now sidelined alongside fellow injured pitchers Cole Ragans and Michael Lorenzen.
- The Royals, currently four games out of the AL wild-card spot with a 52-54 record, face decisions about playoff contention and trade strategy with Bubic's trade value declining amid a looming deadline.
- The team will balance immediate competitive goals against long-term benefits, as further testing determines Bubic's next steps and the broader pitching staff remains impacted by injuries.
