Michael King Throws Three-Inning Sim Game on Sunday
Michael King (knee) threw a three-inning, 44-pitch simulated game on Sunday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports. King came out of the session unscathed, though it's unclear if he'll rejoin the Padres during the upcoming week or go on a rehab assignment. The 30-year-old landed on the 15-day injured list with left-knee inflammation on Aug. 11, continuing an injury-ravaged season. King missed two-plus months with shoulder troubles and lasted just two innings in his first start back on Aug. 9, a 5-4 win over the Boston Red Sox, before succumbing to another injury. The recovery this time has been "way more straightforward," according to King. Although he has only totaled 11 starts this season, King has made an impact. He's 4-2 with a 2.81 ERA, a 1.09 WHIP, and 65 strikeouts against 19 walks over 57 2/3 innings.
