What happened to Michael King? Live injury updates for Padres vs. Braves

Sean Barnard gives the latest news about Michael King's injury status after being put on the injured list of Padres.

Michael King should be on the hill for the Matchup Padres Vs. Braves yesterday. Instead, the 30-year-old was scratched shortly before the start due to the inflammation of the right shoulder.

This forced San Diego to a spontaneous Bullpen game in which Sean Reynolds started his first career. Reynolds went 2.2 Innings and was one of four jugs for San Diego on Saturday. The braves won 7-1.

The Padres placed King on Sunday on the 15-day injured list.

This leads to a short break in an excellent start to the season for King. The 30-year-old was one of the best right-handers in baseball and set a 4-2 record with an ERA of 2.59. King beat 64 batters and only allowed 40 hits in 55.2 Innings. After a very successful first season, this happens with the Padres last year, in which King ended with an ERA of 2.95 and achieved 201 strikeouts in 173.2 Inning.

This message also comes a day after Jason Heyward was placed on the 10-day IL due to a sloping load.

Shoulder injuries are never a good sign, but there seems to be no significant concern with regard to the prospects of the king. Padres Manager Mike Shildt even mentioned after the game that the problem had to do with the fact that King fell wrong.

Nevertheless, San Diego has to adjust his rotation accordingly while he stays outside.

The Padres currently have -105 chances to make the playoffs Draftking's sports book After their 28-22 start into the season. They follow the Dodgers through three games in the NL West and also have +1700 chances of winning the National League as a whole.
