Could throw off mound soon King (shoulder) could throw off a mound by this weekend, Joseph Hoyt of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact King began a throwing program this week, but the Rangers won't determine the next steps until they see him on the mound. The left-hander was placed on the 10-day injured list prior to the All-Star break while building up to become a starter.

Timeline pushed back King (shoulder) may begin a throwing program this weekend.

Impact King was placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to July 7, but manager Chris Woodward said the pitcher will "maybe pick up a ball" by Saturday or Sunday. At the time of the IL-placement, the Rangers were hoping he'd return shortly after the All-Star break, but it looks unlikely King will be ready for the first post-break turn of the rotation. "All reports are that he feels good, his arm feels good," Woodward said. "But we won't know until he actually picks up a baseball and throws it." The left-hander has been working as a tandem starter along with Dane Dunning, but the goal is to build up his pitch count to the point where he could become a traditional starter.

Rangers put rookie LH King on IL with shoulder inflammation

The Texas Rangers have put rookie left-hander John King on the 10-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation

JULY 9, 2021 • Associated Press

Lands on IL with shoulder issue King was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with left shoulder inflammation.

Impact King last pitched Tuesday, allowing four runs on four hits and one walk across two relief innings. Per Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News, the shoulder injury isn't thought to be serious, and the Rangers tentatively plan to activate King to pitch multiple innings out of the bullpen July 20 against Detroit.

Earns relief win King (6-5) allowed three runs (two earned) on one walk and struck out three over three-plus innings to pick up the win over Oakland on Thursday.

Impact King relieved starter Dane Dunning after four innings -- removing Dunning after four or five innings has been the norm for him in 2021 -- and provided bulk relief. For the second consecutive outing, King set down the first nine batters faced before tiring during a fourth inning of work. A hit batter, a walk and his own throwing error ended the left-hander's night. More runs were charged to King after he left the game. King is being stretched out for a possible starting role, but his high pitch count thus far is 55. The Rangers may like him as a tandem starter behind Dunning, whose innings are being managed this season.

Logs 3.2 relief innings King allowed two runs on three hits and struck out three over 3.2 relief innings in Friday' 9-4 win over the Royals.

Impact King worked three perfect innings and retired 11 straight before tiring in what was a season-high number of pitches and innings. The Rangers are stretching out the left-hander as a potential starter, and he should get the opportunities to increase the pitch count when working in tandem with starter Dane Dunning. The Rangers want to limit Dunning, who has thrown just 34 innings since 2018, so it's an ideal situation to build up King.

Could join rotation The Rangers are prepping King to potentially join the starting rotation, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact King, who has been a starter in the minors, has served as a multi-inning reliever for the Rangers in 2021, including a three-inning, season-high 38-pitch effort against Minnesota on Saturday. "He's got multiple pitches. He's got good command. He can get through innings quickly because of his sinker. It made sense to us to see what that at least looks like going into the second half of the season and see what we've got," manager Chris Woodward said. The Rangers will likely push King's pitch count higher the next time out. It may make sense for Texas, losers in 19 of the last 22 games and 20 games below .500, to move on from veterans Mike Foltynewicz (5.59 ERA, 17 HR, 74 IP) and Jordan Lyles (5.68 ERA, 16 HR, 71.1 IP).

Takes loss in relief King (5-5) was tagged with the loss in relief Saturday against Minnesota. He gave up one run on two walks and a strikeout across three innings.

Impact King was unable to hold up the 2-2 tie and gave up the deciding run in the top of the seventh after Max Kepler scored on a wild pitch. The left-hander has given up runs in three of his last four outings but still owns a decent 3.18 ERA across 11.1 innings this month (six appearances).
