Earns roster spot King will be a member of the Yankees' Opening Day roster, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Impact King is expected to begin in a bullpen role, but he could be one of the top options to slide into the rotation when a spot start is needed. He hasn't shown much to suggest he'll be an interesting fantasy option should that happen, however, struggling to a 7.22 ERA in 28.2 innings at the major-league level.

Roughed up in Thursday's start King hurled 2.1 innings in Thursday's Grapefruit League game versus Philadelphia, allowing seven runs on five hits and two walks while striking out two.

Impact King was knocked around early in the contest, allowing the first four Philadelphia batters to reach base before getting his first out and yielding five runs prior to being pulled for a reliever. He went back out for the second frame and allowed another two runs before pitching a clean third inning. King has given up 12 earned runs across 15.1 innings this spring and may have pitched his way out of a roster spot with Thursday's ugly outing.

Will start spring opener King is slated to take the mound for the Yankees' first spring training game against Toronto on Sunday, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

Impact King is among a group of pitchers manager Aaron Boone mentioned as being in competition for the fifth-starter job, and he'll have a chance to showcase his stuff immediately against the Blue Jays. The right-hander struggled mightily in 26.2 big-league innings last season, so he'll likely need to dominate during spring training to claim a spot in the Opening Day rotation.

Honing third pitch King spent the offseason focused on improving the third pitch in his arsenal, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact King acknowledged the need for a reliable third pitch in light of his struggles during the 2020 campaign, during which he posted a 7.76 ERA and 1.54 WHIP. "You need a third pitch to pitch in the big leagues, especially if you want to get through the order a second time," he explained while discussing his biggest takeaway from the shortened season. He is likely referring to his changeup, which he threw 14.9 percent of the time last season -- just below the 19.4 percent usage rate on his curveball -- and that batters hit .278 against. As much as King is able to improve his effectiveness with the offering, he'll first need to do a better job of getting batters out with his sinker -- he threw the pitch 59.5 percent of the time in 2020, yielding a .328 batting average to opponents.

Impact King struggled to the tune of a 7.76 ERA and 1.54 WHIP over 26.2 innings last season, so he is likely a longshot to open the season in the rotation. Still, Boone suggested that there will be a competition among a handful of pitchers for the final rotation spot heading into the campaign, so King could be given the opportunity if he turns heads during spring training.

Yankees get Jameson Taillon from Pirates for 4 prospects

JANUARY 24, 2021 • Associated Press

Sent down by Yankees King was optioned to the Yankees' alternate training site Tuesday.

Impact King was charged with his second loss of the season Monday as he only lasted 2.2 innings against the Blue Jays, and he'll be cast off the active roster as a result. It's unclear who could take King's spot in the rotation for the final game of the regular season Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Chased early in loss to Blue Jays King (1-2) took the loss Monday against Toronto, allowing five runs on five hits and a walk across 2.2 innings. He struck out six.

Impact King was sharp through two innings, striking out four Jays while allowing just one hit. He ran into trouble in the third, however, allowing four hits and a walk before getting removed with two outs. He left trailing 3-1, but was charged with two additional runs when Vladimir Guerrero belted a two-run double off Jonathan Loaisiga. The shaky outing brought the right-hander's ERA to an ugly 7.76 on the season. If he's given another start, it will likely come in the regular-season finale against Miami on Sunday.

Starting Monday King will start Monday's game against the Blue Jays, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact King will make his fourth start of the season Monday on the road against the Blue Jays. The right-hander hasn't lasted longer than four innings in any of his eight appearances (three starts) in 2020, and he carries a 6.75 ERA and 1.46 WHIP over 24 innings.

Works in relief King retired both hitters he faced in relief during Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays, striking out one in his nine-pitch appearance.

Impact King's prior three appearances had come as a starter, with the Yankees expanding their rotation due to a slew of doubleheaders. The Yankees downsized their rotation to five this week, and since Deivi Garcia was called up from the alternate site to start Wednesday's series finale, he'll seemingly stick in the rotation over King for now.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Gives up three runs King allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three over four innings in Friday's Game 1 win against the Orioles. He didn't factor into the decision.

Impact King was making his third start of the season to begin Friday's twin bill, but he didn't factor into the decision as he struggled against the long ball. The right-hander hasn't had any scoreless outings this season and now carries a 6.33 ERA over 21.1 innings. His next appearance could come out of the bullpen.
