New York Yankees reliever Michael King out for season after injuring elbow, sources confirm

New York Yankees reliever Michael King will miss the rest of the 2022 season after suffering a fractured right elbow during Friday's game against the Baltimore Orioles, sources confirmed to ESPN.

The right-handed King exited in the eighth inning after throwing a pitch to Baltimore Orioles third baseman Ramon Urias.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone did not reveal a status for King after the game, a 7-6 New York win, but had expressed his worry for the 27-year-old.

"He's been one of the best pitchers in the league," Boone told reporters.
