Brilliant again in second win Bubic (2-0) earned the win Sunday versus Baltimore, completing 6.2 innings while allowing one run on five hits and a walk. He struck out eight.

Impact The Kansas City southpaw absolutely stymied the Orioles over his 99 pitches, generating an impressive 16 whiffs, half of those coming on his changeup. The only blemish on his line came in the seventh inning when Bubic was tiring -- he allowed Ryan Mountcastle to cross the plate on a wild pitch. Bubic might be in line for a breakout season, as he's opened with 12.2 scoreless innings with a 16:3 K:BB. The 27-year-old lines up to make his next start against the Guardians on the road next weekend.

Fans eight in quality start Bubic (1-0) earned the win Monday against the Brewers. He allowed three hits and two walks while striking out eight across six scoreless innings.

Impact Bubic beat out Daniel Lynch for the fifth starter role during spring training, and the former's performance Monday made it look like the right decision. Bubic came out firing by striking out the side in the first inning, and after escaping a bases-loaded situation in the second, he allowed only three more base runners over the next four frames to get the quality start. The 27-year-old southpaw will look to carry that momentum into his next start, which is tentatively slated for this upcoming weekend at home against the Orioles.

Wins spot in rotation Bubic has won the fifth starter role for the Royals with Daniel Lynch moving to the bullpen, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Impact Bubic looks set to make his first regular season start against the Brewers on March 31. Bubic has yielded six runs with a 13:3 K:BB over 13 innings this spring and will look to carry over his success last season as a reliever (32.2 percent strikeout rate over 30.1 regular-season innings) into the rotation.

Appears locked into No. 5 spot Bubic is likely to open the season as the Royals' fifth starter, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Impact Daniel Lynch gave himself a fighting chance to nab a rotation spot with a strong showing this spring, but he made a one-inning relief appearance Wednesday and is scheduled for another relief outing Friday, which points to Bubic opening in the rotation. Bubic has yielded six runs with a 13:3 K:BB over 13 innings this spring and will look to carry over his success last season as a reliever (32.2 percent strikeout rate over 30.1 regular-season innings) into the rotation.

Leading fifth starter candidate Bubic is seen as the front runner for Kansas City's fifth starter role, MLB.com reports. He gave up one run over two innings in his spring debut Sunday with two strikeouts.

Impact He also debuted a new sinker which he hopes to use against lefties, the MLB.com report ads. It was Bubic's first spring training start in two years as he spent the first three months last season rehabbing from April 2023 Tommy John surgery. The lefty thrived out of the bullpen last season, working his way into high leverage innings where he collected seven holds and a save. His 32.2 percent strikeout rate was by far his career best, but it's not clear he'll be able to handle a starter's workload or maintain that high a strikeout rate with more usage.

Settles at $3 million The Royals and Bubic avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3 million contract Thursday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Impact Bubic thrived in relief in 2024 in his first full year back from Tommy John surgery, holding a 2.67 ERA and 39:5 K:BB over 30.1 frames. The lefty will be stretched out in spring training as the Royals consider him for their rotation.
