Kris Bubic, acquired by the Los Angeles Dodgers from the Kansas City Royals, is activated from the injured list and could pitch as soon as Wednesday. Bubic has missed most of the 2026 season due to shoulder and elbow issues but performed well in Triple-A, throwing 5.2 scoreless innings in six games. The Dodgers are adjusting their roster by optioning reliever Paul Gervase to Triple-A and designating outfielder Ryan Ward for assignment to make room for Bubic. His return adds depth to a bullpen that has struggled at times this season.
