The Kansas City Royals placed southpaw starter Kris Bubic on the 15-day injured list with left elbow soreness Monday, according to reports.<\/p>\n
The move is retroactive to May 15, a day after Bubic\u2019s shortest outing of the year against the White Sox in Chicago. He allowed five earned runs in four innings in a 6-2 loss.<\/p>\n
The Royals recalled reliever Eli Morgan from Triple-A Omaha to replace Bubic.<\/p>\n
Bubic (3-2, 4.11 ERA) was slated to start tonight\u2019s home game against Boston, but manager Matt Quatraro said before Monday\u2019s game the Royals would go with a bullpen game.<\/p>\n
The 28-year old underwent Tommy John surgery in 2023 and rotator cuff strain that halted his career-best 2025 season in late July. But he is optimistic this will be a short stay on the injured list.<\/p>\n
\u201cVery mild in nature,\u201d Bubic said. \u201cIt\u2019s not something I want to push, given my history and given the timing of the year. So for me, this is good news in a sense. I\u2019ll talk to (Dr. Vincent Key) when he\u2019s here later, but I expect this to be pretty minimal IL, just a few weeks, and we should be back. That\u2019s the expectation in my head.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bubic, who has spent his entire career with Kansas City, posted an 8-7 record and 2.55 ERA in 20 starts for the club in 2025.<\/p>\n
For his career, the Californian is 22-38 with a 4.14 ERA.<\/p>\n
After four years in Cleveland and one with the Chicago Cubs, Morgan pitched in seven April games for the Royals this season before being sent to Omaha. The 30-year old right-hander posted an 0-1 record with one save and a 2.61 ERA for Kansas City.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
