Royals' Kris Bubic: Rare dud in loss against Yankees
Bubic (5-4) was charged with the loss Wednesday against the Yankees after giving up five runs on six hits and four walks in five innings. He struck out three.
It was the shortest outing of the year for Bubic, who yielded a season-high five runs. The 27-year-old left-hander also matched season worsts with four walks and three punchouts, and his six hits allowed were one short of his season high. Bubic's ERA still stands at an outstanding 1.92 along with a 1.07 WHIP and 82:26 K:BB across 79.2 innings, and he'll look to get back on track his next time out against a Rangers team that has an abysmal .542 OPS versus southpaws since the beginning of May.

Royals' Kris Bubic: Extra rest before next start
Bubic is not listed among the Royals' probable pitchers for this weekend's series against the White Sox, as the team plans to give him extra rest before his next start, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Bubic appears lined up to start Tuesday at home versus the Yankees, which would mean more than a week in between outings after he last took the ball this past Sunday against the Tigers. It will result in a much more difficult matchup for the lefty, but it makes sense for the Royals to manage Bubic's workload after he totaled less than 90 innings between the majors and minors over the previous two seasons, including the playoffs.

Royals' Kris Bubic: Goes seven in tough-luck loss
Bubic (5-3) took the loss against the Tigers on Sunday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks with nine strikeouts over seven innings.
Bubic induced a whopping 18 whiffs on 99 pitches and allowed just one run on a wild pitch in the third inning. He has now worked seven frames in four of his past five starts, recording nine punchouts three times in that span. The southpaw leads the majors with a 1.43 ERA and carries a 1.00 WHIP and 79:22 K:BB across 75.1 innings. He's slated for a favorable road matchup against the White Sox next weekend.

Royals' Kris Bubic: Strikes out nine in no-decision
Bubic did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Twins, allowing one run on two hits and two walks with nine strikeouts over seven innings.
Bubic allowed a run in the first inning but rebounded with six scoreless frames, matching a season high with nine punchouts. The southpaw has been outstanding in May, posting four quality starts in five outings while yielding just two runs over 32.1 innings. He'll carry a stellar 1.45 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 70:20 K:BB across 68.1 innings into a home matchup with the Tigers next weekend.

Royals' Kris Bubic: Carries no-no into sixth
Bubic (5-2) allowed two hits and three walks while striking out five over seven scoreless innings to earn the win Monday over the Giants.
Bubic carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning, but he lost it with two outs in that frame when he gave up a single to Wilmer Flores. He was still able to keep the Giants off balance throughout the start, which was Bubic's fourth scoreless outing in his last six starts. The left-hander has dazzled this season with a 1.47 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 61:18 K:BB across 61.1 innings in his return to a starting role after featuring as a reliever in 2024 following his Tommy John surgery in 2023. Bubic's next start is projected to be at Minnesota over the weekend.

Royals' Kris Bubic: Dominates Astros with nine Ks
Bubic didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Astros after allowing one run on six hits and one walk in 6.1 innings. He struck out nine.
Bubic established a season high and tied a career best in punchouts, generating a staggering 22 swinging strikes. Not only was it the sixth quality start of the year for the left-hander, but Tuesday also marked the fifth time in nine starts that he worked at least six frames while giving up one run or fewer. Bubic will take a superb 1.66 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 56:15 K:BB across 54.1 innings into his next scheduled appearance against the Giants, who own a weak .638 OPS versus left-handed pitching over their first 42 games.

Royals' Kris Bubic: Blanks White Sox in fourth win
Bubic (4-2) earned the win Thursday over the White Sox, allowing six hits and one walk across seven scoreless innings. He struck out seven.
It was another stellar outing from Bubic, who's now held opponents scoreless in three of his last four starts. The southpaw's ERA is down to 1.69 through eight starts (48 innings) this year with a 1.10 WHIP and 47:14 K:BB. Bubic will look to keep rolling in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week in Houston.

Royals' Kris Bubic: Tosses five scoreless frames in win
Bubic (3-2) earned the victory over Baltimore on Saturday, allowing four hits and issuing one walk while striking out three batters over five scoreless innings.
Under normal circumstances, Bubic would have probably been allowed to go deeper -- he was pulled after throwing just 72 pitches through five innings -- but a rain delay after the first frame likely impacted his early exit. Nonetheless, the southpaw bounced back well from his worst start of the season, as he allowed four runs over five innings against Houston in his previous outing. Bubic has been a revelation for the Royals and for fantasy managers in the early part of the season -- he holds a 1.98 ERA (seventh-best among qualified pitchers) and 1.12 WHIP along with a 40:13 K:BB through 41 innings. He's lined up for a favorable matchup against the White Sox in his next start.

Royals' Kris Bubic: Allows four runs in loss
Bubic (2-2) took the loss against the Astros on Sunday, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks with four strikeouts over five innings.
Bubic surrendered a three-run home run to Yordan Alvarez in the third inning and was pulled at 93 pitches after allowing another run in the fifth. It was the first time in six starts this season that the southpaw yielded more than three earned runs. He still owns a 2.25 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 37:12 K:BB across 36 innings and lines up for a road matchup with the Orioles next weekend.

Royals' Kris Bubic: Dazzles with seven scoreless
Bubic did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's win over the Rockies, allowing just four hits and striking out six over seven scoreless innings. He did not issue a walk.
Bubic lowered his ERA to 1.45, which is currently ninth best in all of baseball. He racked up 14 whiffs and was all over the strike zone with 62 strikes on 91 pitches. Tuesday marked the first time he's reached seven innings since the 2022 season. Bubic will have a chance to complete a two-start week when he takes on the Astros this weekend.
