[Acee] Michael King threw a full bullpen session, reaching 91 mph with his fastball—just a couple miles per hour below his average—and is eyeing a return before the Aug. 20
Yeah it’s a bad injury if 5 weeks from now is supposed to seem soon for this
Would be cool if he could pitch for his bobblehead night!
All of this is so weird, but goddamn if we can just hang on and he’s healthy for a playoff push 🤞
To those who didn’t read the article – Aug. 20 is being referenced because that’s his bobblehead night. King said that’d be late and he’d be back well before that. Acee seems to think not much before that, though.
We’re about to end the season with the best pitching in the MLB but the worst hitting.
A top 3 of King, Darvish, and Pivetta can hang with any teams too 3. Pair that with an elite BP and they have something cooking if they can add 2 bats.

THE Aug 20th.
