The New York Yankees received a bitter blow recently with homegrown talent Luis Severino being shut down for the rest of the season due to a left oblique strain. This setback has led to speculation that he may have thrown his last pitch in Yankees pinstripes. Given Severino’s history of durability issues, it’s worth exploring alternatives, and Michael King might be the answer.
Michael King: Rising from the Bullpen
Making the transition from the bullpen, King has started multiple games and shown promising results. Over his three starts, he’s allowed a mere two earned runs across 14 innings, which includes giving up only 12 hits and accumulating 18 strikeouts.
