Can't hold lead King allowed one run on two hits while striking out one in one inning of Wednesday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Rays.

Impact King, who's pitched well recently, came on in eighth inning to protect a one-run lead after starter Jon Gray's gem of an outing. Unfortunately, King blew the save -- the second eighth-inning blown save over his last three appearances -- and the Rangers lost in extras.

Earns sixth hold King struck out one over a scoreless eighth inning to earn the hold in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Rays.

Impact King followed up a dominant start by Martin Perez by pitching a perfect eighth inning. The hold was the sixth for King, who has scooped up three holds over the last six appearances. The left-hander has allowed a worrisome number of walks -- nine in 20 innings -- but he's avoided serious damage and pitched better during his recent six-game stretch. Five of those six outings have been scoreless and four have been perfect innings of relief.

Earns shaky hold King allowed two hits and a walk while striking out two over 1.2 scoreless innings in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Royals.

Impact King earned his second hold, but he allowed two inherited runners to score. The left-hander has managed to sidestep serious damage despite allowing 21 baserunners over 13.1 innings -- only two of his 13 appearances have been clean. King has a 2.70 ERA which stands in contrast to a 4.22 FIP.

Rustles up easy win King (1-0) allowed one walk over 1.1 relief innings to pick up the win over the Angels on Thursday.

Impact Starter Dane Dunning was pulled after eight outs and 86 pitches. The Rangers were coasting at the time with an 8-2 lead, but Dunning's inefficiency created a chance for King's first win of 2022. King, who worked as a multi-inning reliever in 2021, vultured seven wins out of the bullpen last season, when Texas starters often needed relief. The starting staff is off to a similar start this season (6.85 ERA, four innings per start), so guys like King could be needed often in middle innings. Mix in a potent offense (fourth in runs scored) and the recipe is there for more relief wins.

Full go for spring King (shoulder) is expected to be a full participant during the Rangers' spring camp, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Impact King has yet to make his 2022 Cactus League debut, but that shouldn't be far away now that the Rangers are giving him full clearance after he underwent thoracic outlet syndrome surgery in September. Though the track record of pitchers returning from the procedure isn't promising, King has apparently been free of setbacks in his recovery and should have a chance at making the Opening Day bullpen if he fares well in his spring outings. King still has three minor-league options remaining, so it wouldn't be too surprising if the Rangers took a cautious approach and sent him to Triple-A Round Rock to begin the season so he can attempt to regain form in a lower-pressure setting.
