Royals' Kris Bubic faces setback with shoulder injury

Kris Bubic has been scratched from his scheduled rehab start due to a shoulder issue. The left-hander had previously returned to the mound for Triple-A Omaha on June 24 after a prior setback in his rehabilitation process. Bubic is now heading back to Kansas City for further evaluation, with the 60-day injured list designation providing a means to create roster space. The Royals continue to struggle this season, currently sitting at the bottom of the AL Central with a record of 35-52. The team hopes to have clarity on Bubic's status after the evaluation follows their game against the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday.
