The Yankees are seeing plenty of their expected bitter rival Blue Jays this spring. Saturday’s instance will feature the second appearance of Michael King, who began 2021 as an iffy starter and ended it as a lockdown member of the bullpen. He should play a big role in 2022, especially with plenty of questions regarding how deep into games Yankees starters not named Gerrit Cole will be able to go at the start of the season and beyond. King pitched two scoreless innings against the Phillies in his first appearance.
King will match up against Alek Manoah, who made his MLB debut last May against the Yankees, earning the win.
