Dodgers Land Kris Bubic from KC in Depth Move
Los Angeles adds the injured left-hander from Kansas City, with plans to stash him while he recovers from shoulder soreness.
The Dodgers have acquired left-handed pitcher Kris Bubic from the Kansas City Royals. Bubic is currently on the injured list with left shoulder soreness, meaning he will not contribute immediately. The Dodgers appear to be making a depth move, holding Bubic until he is healthy enough to pitch. The deal continues Los Angeles's pattern of accumulating pitching assets even when those arms are not yet game-ready.
