Michael King Hit Around in First Rehab Start
Michael King (shoulder) didn't have the best minor-league rehab start on Sunday with Triple-A El Paso, as he surrendered six earned runs on four hits (two homers) while walking one and striking out five in 3 1/3 innings against Triple-A Round Rock. It wasn't a great outing for King, but it was also his first rehab start since he injured his shoulder way back on May 18. King's velocity was also down a bit while throwing 61 pitches in the outing. The 30-year-old will hope for better results his next time out on the farm, and after that (barring a setback), it's possible he'll be activated from the 60-day injured list to rejoin the big-league starting rotation. King was SD's best pitcher in the second half last year and should be picked up immediately if he's available on your league's waiver wire. In 10 starts before his injury, he had a 2.59 ERA and 64 K's in 55 2/3 innings.
