The San Diego Padres did some roster maneuvering to bring Yu Darvish back on the 40-man roster and start the opening game of a four-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The team transferred Michael King to the 60-day injured list, but the move did not change his timeline to return to the roster this season.

No confirmation on King’s return date

King was scratched from a May 24 start after experiencing a knot in his right shoulder. Padres manager Mike Shildt thought his star pitcher might have slept wrong on his arm. However, the pain kept lingering.
