Dodgers promote Kris Bubic amid bullpen struggles after losses to Marlins

The Los Angeles Dodgers promoted left-hander Kris Bubic ahead of a series with the Cincinnati Reds after falling to the Miami Marlins in two consecutive games. The Dodgers, now 90-59, lost 4-3 on Saturday and endured a 6-4 walk-off defeat on Sunday, highlighting ongoing issues within their bullpen. With Bubic likely to take on a relief role, the team aims to strengthen its pitching as they approach the postseason. Bubic has been sidelined since May with a forearm injury and previously made nine starts for the Kansas City Royals this season.
