The New York Yankees may have lost Michael King for the remainder of the season, MLBTradeRumors.com reports.
King had to leave the game Friday during the eighth inning after throwing a pitch, and you could read his lips when he told manager Aaron Boone, elbow. The initial reports are that King will be lost for the ROS due to an elbow fracture. The Yankees will likely place King on the injured list on Saturday. They could recall Ron Marinaccio, currently on the IL with a shoulder injury, was expected to be activated this weekend.
This is a brutal injury for the Yankees as King and Clayton Holmes have formed a formidable duo to close out games for the Yankees.
