Michael King Plays Catch, Nearing Mound Work for Late-Season Return
Michael King (shoulder) played catch Monday and is expected to stretch it out to 120 feet Tuesday. King is scheduled to throw off a mound for the first time Thursday, although the team is not officially calling it a bullpen session. The 30-year-old was placed on the 60-day injured list May 25 with a long thoracic nerve injury in his right shoulder. King made 10 starts before the injury in his second year with the Padres, posting a 2.59 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, and 64 strikeouts in 55 2/3 innings. He is expected to return between late August and early September.
