Bridgeport Bluefish News Release
(Bridgeport, Conn.) - Bridgeport Bluefish team officials today announced that pitcher David Kubiak will re-join the Bluefish bullpen after having his contract purchased by the New York Yankees organization earlier in the season.
"David did a terrific job for us at the beginning of the season," says Bluefish Manager Luis Rodriguez. "It will be great to have him back in the bullpen."
David Kubiak returns to Bridgeport during his fifth season of professional baseball. He began the 2016 campaign with the 'Fish, where he collected one victory, 20 strikeouts and a 3.18 ERA in 11.1 innings across five games. On May 4, 2016, he had his contract purchased by the New York Yankees and was assigned to Double-A Trenton of the Eastern League. There, Kubiak made three relief appearances and collected a 1.42 ERA.
