New York Yankees reliever Michael King will miss the rest of the 2022 season after suffering a fractured right elbow during Friday’s game against the Baltimore Orioles, sources confirmed to ESPN.<\/p>\n
The right-handed King exited in the eighth inning after throwing a pitch to Baltimore Orioles third baseman Ramon Urias.<\/p>\n
Yankees manager Aaron Boone did not reveal a status for King after the game, a 7-6 New York win, but had expressed his concern for him.<\/p>\n
“He’s been one of the best pitchers in the league,” Boone told reporters. “I hope and pray the best for King.”<\/p>\n
The New York Post first reported on the severity of King’s injury.<\/p>\n
Right-hander Jameson Taillon said the mood among the Yankees was “somber” over King after the game.<\/p>\n
“He’s a hard worker. I know he’ll get back here and get back to the same spot he was in,” Taillon told reporters. “It’s never easy seeing a guy walk off the field. You think about his girlfriend and family watching. That’s not easy for anyone.”<\/p>\n
King, 27, had posted a career-best 2.29 ERA this season to go with a 6-3 record, one save and 16 holds in 34 appearances.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
