TAMPA — Considering it was only seven-plus months ago that Michael King broke a bone in his right elbow, the Yankees reliever appears to be in a great spot midway through spring training.
“So it feels quick when I look at it from that perspective,” King said, “but for the most part, I’m so itching to get back out there in a game because it sucks having to watch my team play when I’m just sitting there broken.”The Yankees could see Michael King in the bullpen by Opening Day,King remains on track to break camp with the team and provide the weapon it was sorely missing out of its bullpen for the final two months of the regular season and into the playoffs last year.
And in case his value to the Yankees wasn’t obvious enough, it only became more clear when they struggled to make up for his absence, especially in the postseason.— the plan is for him to get up to three innings at some point this spring — though manager Aaron Boone said recently they will “probably” use him as “that multi-inning weapon.”Charles Wenzelberg / New York PostHe pitched on back-to-back days five times, but only when both ends of it lasted an inning or less.
