Strikes out six Rays King pitched 2.1 innings in relief against Tampa Bay on Thursday, allowing three runs on two hits and two walks while striking out six.

Impact The right-hander came on in relief of Jameson Taillon with a pair of runners on base and two outs in the bottom of the fifth inning. King registered a strikeout to escape the jam but then served up a three-run homer to Randy Arozarena in the next frame. The trio of runs were the first King has given up this season. Despite the imperfect outing, he still owns a 1.84 ERA and 0.95 WHIP across 14.2 innings.

Returns to alternate site King was optioned to the alternate training site after Wednesday's win over the Orioles.

Impact The 25-year-old rejoined the big-league roster Tuesday and will head back to the alternate site after firing two scoreless innings during Wednesday's victory. King has yet to allow a run through 11 innings for the Yankees this season, so it shouldn't be too long before he's back in the majors. Wandy Peralta is expected to be added to the roster Thursday after being acquired from the Giants earlier this week.

Rejoins big club The Yankees recalled King from their alternate training site Tuesday.

Impact He'll be taking the active roster spot of Deivi Garcia, who was optioned to the Yankees' alternate site following his spot start in Monday's loss to the Orioles. King was effective over two long-relief outings with the Yankees earlier this season, covering nine scoreless frames while allowing only eight baserunners.

Optioned to alternate camp King was optioned to the Yankees' alternate training site Friday.

Impact King served as the primary pitcher in Friday's loss to the Rays and allowed two hits and three walks while striking out four in three scoreless frames. He didn't factor into the decision. The right-hander has now tossed nine scoreless frames in his first two appearances this year and could return to the majors at some point as a long reliever or as an option to serve as a starter.

Promoted to pitch Friday King will be promoted from the taxi squad and follow opener Nick Nelson against the Rays on Friday, Jim Bowden of The Athletic reports.

Impact King has been traveling with the team throughout the week as a potential rotation option, and he'll officially join the roster to serve as Friday's primary pitcher. The 25-year-old surrendered only one hit over six scoreless frames of long relief in his only appearance of the season April 4.

Potential sixth-starter option King is considered a strong candidate if the Yankees were to implement a sixth starter, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact King dazzled in his only outing this season, pitching six innings of scoreless, one-hit ball out of the bullpen April 4. He was subsequently sent to the team's alternate site, though he is traveling with the club as part of the taxi squad. King is very likely to get another opportunity to pitch in the majors relatively soon, whether in a relief or starting role. He's most likely to function as a long reliever, but the right-hander would be a viable candidate if the Yankees decided to go with a six-man rotation.

Traveling with team King is part of the Yankees' taxi squad for their current road trip, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Impact King was optioned to the team's alternate site Tuesday, but there's little doubt that he'll be back in the majors at some point during the campaign. The right-hander tossed six scoreless innings out of the bullpen against Toronto on April 4 in his lone outing of the season.

Optioned to alternate site King was optioned to the Yankees' alternate training site Tuesday.

Impact This move clears a spot for Rougned Odor on the active roster. King logged six scoreless innings in long relief Sunday against the Blue Jays, so he'll be back in the majors sooner than later to offer length out of the bullpen or perhaps to make a spot start.

Shines in long relief King pitched six scoreless innings against Toronto on Sunday, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out three. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact Starter Domingo German was removed after yielding three runs across three frames, and the Yankees subsequently handed the ball to King. The right-hander went on to dominate Blue Jays hitters, giving up only a fourth-inning walk and single while retiring the final 16 batters he faced. King ended up throwing as many pitches (68) across his six innings as German did in three, with 48 of the former's throws going for strikes. King will likely be unavailable for a few days due to the extended outing, but it is a positive sign that he looked so good in his first appearance of the campaign after struggling to a 7.76 ERA with the big club last season.
