Report: Padres RHP Michael King (knee) set to face Reds
Aug 9, 2025; San Diego, California, USA; San Diego Padres starting pitcher Michael King (34) throws a pitch during the first inning against the Boston Red Sox at Petco Park. Mandatory Credit: David Frerker-Imagn Images San Diego Padres right-hander Michael King is set to return Tuesday, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported, marking just his second appearance in four months.
King, 30, originally missed time with a shoulder injury and returned Aug. 9 for a two-inning start against the Boston Red Sox before going back on the injured list with a knee issue.
King (4-2, 2.81 ERA in 11 starts) is expected to start at home against the Cincinnati Reds in the middle game of a three-game series. That rotation spot had been occupied by left-hander Nestor Cortes, who is out with a biceps strain.
In seven major league seasons with the New York Yankees (2019-23) and Padres, King is 30-28 with a 3.16 ERA in 157 appearances (60 starts).
