Kansas City Royals All-Star left-hander Kris Bubic has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to a rotator cuff strain, with further testing anticipated. Bubic, who has managed to pitch through shoulder soreness for most of the season, struggled in his last start Saturday, lasting only 2 2/3 innings and allowing four runs. Despite his recent outing, he maintains a strong 2.55 ERA, ranking fifth-best in the American League.
