The Kansas City Royals announced left-hander Kris Bubic will miss the remainder of the season with a left rotator cuff strain.
Bubic, an All-Star this season, walked the first four batters he faced on Saturday against the Cleveland Guardians on just 21 pitches. He left the game with two outs in the third after giving up four runs and three hits.
Bubic told reporters after the game that he had been pitching through shoulder soreness for much of the season. The 27-year-old veteran owned an 8-7 record with a career-best 2.55 ERA in 116 1/3 innings. He posted a 1.43 ERA during his first 12 starts through June 1, but a 4.61 ERA over his final eight starts.
The Royals have dealt with several injuries to their starting rotation this season as left-hander Cole Ragans, right-hander Alec Marsh and right-hander Michael Lorenzen are all currently on the IL.
The Royals called up righty Jonathan Bowlan and 45-year-old Rich Hill from Triple-A Omaha to help fill out the pitching staff.
The Royals are 52-54 and sit four games back of the final wild card spot in the American League.
