Bubic allowed a run on one hit and two walks with three strikeouts in two innings during Thursday's 4-2 loss to Cleveland.
Bubic lined up to start Friday versus the White Sox, but his turn in the rotation has been skipped after his Thursday relief appearance. The southpaw had an awful August, posting a 7.15 ERA and 1.76 WHIP in 22.2 innings across five starts. After Thursday, his ratios have inflated to a 5.16 ERA and 1.53 WHIP with a 91:52 K:BB. A 4.7 BB/9 rate is not going to generate much success in general. Per Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star, Bubic is expected to return to the rotation next week on short rest by starting Monday versus lowly Baltimore.
