The San Diego Padres finally thought they were out of the woods. The Friars had fought through several injuries all season long, and right as the club has picked up steam, they have been halted in their tracks one more time.
Making just one start in his return from a shoulder injury, right-handed starting pitcher Michael King is headed back to the 15-day injury list with left knee inflammation, dating back to August 11. This couldn't happen at a worse time, as San Diego is headed to Los Angeles for a major three-game series against the Dodgers.
