Michael King Heading To Injured List

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Michael King (shoulder) has been placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 22. This comes a day after King was scratched from his start against the Atlanta Braves due to a shoulder issue. King is now being placed on the injured list due to right-shoulder inflammation. This is a shame, considering King was pitching well with a 2.59 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, and 64/17 K/BB across 10 starts this season. The expectation is that he'll only miss a few weeks, so fantasy managers should stash him on the injured list. In a corresponding move, right-hander David Morgan has been recalled from Triple-A. The expectation is that Stephen Kolek will remain in the starting rotation with King going down.

Michael King Scratched with Shoulder Stiffness

San Diego Padres right-handed pitcher Michael King (shoulder) has been scratched from his start on Saturday evening against the Atlanta Braves due to right shoulder stiffness. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as the right-hander could be in danger of spending time on the injured list, given the severity of the injury. Instead, Sean Reynolds will get the starting nod this evening. Through his first 55 2/3 innings of work this season, King has posted a strong 2.59 ERA with a stellar 1.02 WHIP. Across this stretch, King has struck out 64 batters and served up just 17 free passes. Fantasy managers should expect Reynolds to serve as an opener in this contest, as he has never logged more than three innings in an appearance this season. He enters this game with a high 6.43 ERA and should not be targeted in any DFS competitions.

Michael King Tosses Complete-Game Shutout

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Michael King blanked the Rockies on Sunday, pitching nine scoreless innings while striking out eight. It was the first complete game shutout of his career, and it looks like he is settling into 2025 as an ace-caliber pitcher after breaking out last season. Through four starts on the year, he has a 2.42 ERA with 24 strikeouts through 22 innings. He'll be looking to top the 200 strikeout mark for the second year in a row, and is currently lined up to make his next start against the Astros later this week.
