Dodgers trade for Royals pitcher Kris Bubic ahead of deadline

The Los Angeles Dodgers have acquired pitcher Kris Bubic from the Kansas City Royals on trade deadline day, further bolstering their roster. In exchange, the Royals receive triple-A right-hander Carlos Duran. Bubic, currently on the 60-day injured list due to an elbow injury, has been effective in prior seasons, earning an All-Star selection in 2025. The trade adds depth to the Dodgers' pitching staff as the season approaches its conclusion, with Bubic potentially returning to action next year. This development follows a series of strategic moves by the Dodgers aiming for a strong postseason push.
