Padres place RHP Michael King (shoulder) on IL
May 25 - The San Diego Padres placed right-hander Michael King on the 15-day injured list with shoulder inflammation on Sunday and recalled right-hander David Morgan from Triple-A El Paso. King, 30, is 4-2 with a 2.59 ERA in 10 starts this season. He was scratched from his start Saturday against the Atlanta Braves, with Padres manager Mike Shildt saying the injury is not believed to be serious. The IL move is retroactive to Thursday. In seven seasons with the New York Yankees (2019-23) and Padres, King is 30-28 with a 3.13 ERA in 156 appearances (59 starts). He finished seventh in National League Cy Young Award voting last season when he went 13-9 with a 2.95 ERA in 31 appearances (30 starts) for San Diego. Morgan, 25, is set to make his major league debut. He has gone a combined 0-2 with a 6.91 ERA in 14 relief appearances at Triple-A El Paso and Double-A San Antonio this season. Also on Sunday, San Diego recalled left-hander Omar Cruz from Triple-A El Paso and optioned right-hander Alek Jacob. Cruz, 26, made his major league debut April 1 and had a 4.91 ERA in two relief appearances. Jacob, 26, was 1-0 with a 5.82 ERA in 21 relief outings for the Padres this season. --Field Level Media

Padres off to first 6-0 start as Michael King fans 11 in win against Guardians
The Padres have thrown shutouts in three of their last four games. Lefthander Omar Cruz pitched a perfect ninth in his major league debut. San Diego's bullpen extended its scoreless streak to 24 innings. King, who pitched at Boston College, bounced back from his opening day start, when he couldn't get out of the third inning in a 7-4 win against the Braves. Advertisement The righthander was dominant from the start Tuesday, striking out the final two batters of the first and fanning the side in the second. He allowed a leadoff single in the fifth and then struck out the side. He allowed two hits and walked one. Merrill, a lefty, homered to right-center on the first pitch he saw from lefthanded starter Logan Allen with two outs in the fourth. It was the first for Merrill, who had 24 last season, when he was an All-Star and finished second to Pittsburgh's Paul Skenes in the NL Rookie of the Year voting. Allen (0-1) allowed four runs and four hits in seven innings, with five walks and one strikeout. Advertisement
