Bubic (elbow) allowed a hit and no walks with no strikeouts across two scoreless innings in Saturday's rehab start with Triple-A Omaha.
Bubic resumed his rehab assignment Wednesday by tossing a perfect inning, and Saturday marked another positive step as the left-hander completed two scoreless innings on 22 pitches (15 strikes). He has been sidelined since May 18 due to left elbow soreness, though his initial rehab assignment was halted after one outing June 9 because of left shoulder discomfort. A return to Kansas City before the All-Star break remains possible, but if the left-hander gets fully stretched out, he likely won't get activated until after the break. The Royals will evaluate how Bubic feels Sunday before determining his next steps, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
