Sharp in first win Bubic (1-0) picked up the win in Friday's 8-3 victory over the Twins, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over six innings while striking out five.

Impact A solo shot by Mitch Garver in the fourth inning was the only blemish on Bubic's line. The young southpaw tossed 98 pitches (59 strikes) while delivering his second quality start in three outings since moving into the rotation, and he'll carry a 1.52 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 22:14 K:BB through 29.2 innings into his next start.

Decent in no-decision Bubic allowed two runs on six hits and three walks with three strikeouts in five innings versus Detroit on Sunday. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact The southpaw left the game on the hook for the loss after a shaky first inning, but Kansas City came back to win with a Carlos Santana walkoff home run. Bubic wasn't as sharp as he had been in his first start of the season last Tuesday, but he was reasonably effective. The 23-year-old has a 1.52 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 17:12 K:BB across 23.2 innings overall. He lines up to face the Twins next week.

Impresses in first start of 2021 Bubic threw six shutout innings Tuesday against the Brewers but was not involved in the decision. He allowed just one hit while walking two hitters and striking out four.

Impact Bubic was brilliant in his first start of the season and had the Brewers' hitters fooled with his frequent usage of a fastball-changeup combination. He induced plenty of weak contact but unfortunately couldn't get the win as the Royals weren't able to break the 0-0 tie until the eighth inning. The 23-year-old now owns a 0.96 ERA and 14:9 K:BB over 18.2 innings and should figure to stick in the rotation for the time being after this impressive performance. His next start is projected to be early next week against the Rays.

Gets another look in rotation Bubic is listed as the Royals' starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Brewers, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Impact Due to off days over the next two Mondays and Sunday, the Royals could have gotten by with a four-man rotation until May 29 in Minnesota, but manager Mike Matheny has instead decided to give Bubic a look as the No. 5 starter. He'll join the rotation as a replacement for Daniel Lynch, who was optioned to Triple-A Omaha after failing to escape the third inning in a May 13 loss to Detroit. Bubic worked behind Lynch in long relief that day, striking out six over five scoreless frames. Bubic tossed 80 pitches in that outing, so he should be relatively stretched out heading into what will be his first start in the big leagues this season.

MAY 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Tosses five scoreless innings Bubic allowed three hits and four walks with six strikeouts over five scoreless innings in Thursday's 4-3 loss to Detroit.

Impact Bubic has worked well in a long-relief role -- he hasn't allowed a run in his last 11.2 innings across three appearances. The southpaw has a 1.42 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 10:7 K:BB across 12.2 innings overall. Bubic has experience as a starter, but he's walking a few too many batters to be truly dominant. Nonetheless, he could be an option for a spot start should such a situation arise.

MAY 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Solid in long relief outing Bubic pitched 5.2 shutout innings, allowing one hit and three walks with two strikeouts during Saturday's 9-1 loss to the White Sox.

Impact Starter Daniel Lynch couldn't make it through the first inning, so Bubic was eventually called upon to fulfill a long-relief assignment. He did so admirably in the longest of his three appearances this season. The 23-year-old worked as a starter in 2020, posting a 4.32 ERA and 1.48 WHIP across 50 innings. This year, he's at a 2.35 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and four strikeouts in 7.2 innings. If Lynch is removed from the rotation, Bubic could be a candidate for the fifth starter job.

Sloppy in season debut Bubic allowed two runs on three hits with one strikeout over one inning in Sunday's 13-4 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Bubic made his season debut Sunday, but Kansas City was outmatched in the game. The 23-year-old Bubic pitched to a 4.32 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 50 innings last season. He worked as a starter in 2020, but he's expected to fill a bullpen role for now.

MAY 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled by Kansas City Bubic was recalled from the Royals' alternate training site Saturday.

Impact Bubic was sent to the alternate training site in mid-March after he posted an 8.59 ERA and 2.45 WHIP in 7.1 innings this spring. The left-hander made 10 starts for Kansas City in 2020 and recorded a 4.32 ERA and 49:22 K:BB in 50 innings. While Bubic could fill in as a starter if Brady Singer (heel) misses time, he'll likely be available as a reliever in the immediate future.

Sent to Triple-A Bubic was optioned to Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

Impact The 23-year-old was competing for a spot in Kansas City's starting rotation but will open the season in the minors. Bubic made his big-league debut for the Royals last season and had a 4.32 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 49:22 K:BB over 50.0 innings (10 starts).

MARCH 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Takes no-decision Bubic did not factor into the decision during Thursday's win against Detroit, surrendering four runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out three across 4.2 innings.

Impact Bubic was mainly hurt by the long ball, giving up a two-run home run to Willi Castro in the third inning, then a two-run blast to Miguel Cabrera in the fifth. The southpaw left the game with the score knotted, 4-4, and fortunately the Royals soon surged ahead for good. Bubic wraps up the regular season with a 1-6 record, 4.32 ERA and 1.48 WHIP across 10 starts.

Strikes out seven Bubic (1-6) allowed one run (none earned) on one hit and four walks while striking seven out to take the loss Saturday against the Brewers.

Impact Bubic was a tough-luck loser with the only run he allowed coming on a throwing error by Nicky Lopez. The only downside to his outing was the four free passes, as only 59 of his 101 pitches found the strike zone. Bubic had shown better command of his pitches of late, walking only five batters across his last 17.1 frames prior to Saturday's start. Through 45.1 total innings, Bubic has maintained a 3.97 ERA with a 44:19 K:BB. He'll make the final start of his rookie campaign Thursday against Detroit.
