Roster %
Eligibility
Michael King delivered a stellar performance, tossing six scoreless innings and allowing just six hits with no walks while striking out three in the Padres' 13-1 victory over the Diamondbacks on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
This outing was a breath of fresh air for King, whose season has been marred by a less-than-stellar 4.29 ERA and a high 1.40 WHIP. His ability to avoid walks and keep runs off the board in this game could be a sign of turning things around, especially considering his solid 9.2 K/9 rate. However, his 5.80 FIP suggests that some underlying issues may still exist, potentially limiting his upside. Fantasy managers should remain cautious but optimistic, as performances like this could signal a positive adjustment in his approach.
Michael King allowed six runs on six hits over 5 1/3 innings on Sunday against the Phillies.

Michael King struggled in Friday's tight 8-7 victory over the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact
He allowed four earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings. The 28-year-old has been mostly reliable on the mound to begin the season, allowing two runs or less in two of three starts while racking up 14 strikeouts in that span. The right-hander will look to continue to harness his command in hopes of playing a key role in a revamped San Diego rotation while fantasy managers continue to monitor his performance moving forward.
Michael King signed a one-year deal worth $3.15 million with the Padres to avoid arbitration.
Fantasy Impact
