Michael King Throws a Bullpen Session on Monday and Thursday
Michael King (knee) landed on the 15-day injured list due to left knee inflammation on August 14. However, the move was retroactive to August 11, so the righty hurler is eligible to be activated this coming Tuesday. While the two bullpens this week are encouraging, King is also coming off a shoulder injury that caused him to miss over two months of the season, and he has not pitched in the majors consistently since May. The Padres may give him a few more days to make sure that when he does come back, he is sharp and ready to help the Padres hold onto their four and a half game lead in the NL Wild Card race. For the time being, JP Sears is in line to get at least one more start while King remains out of action.
