Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
A strong spring combined a bevy of injured relievers landed King a spot in the Rangers opening day bullpen. He hurled 46 frames before being sent to the IL with shoulder inflammation. After recurring soreness during rehab, King was diagnosed with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome requiring season-ending surgery in September. The 27-year-old righty should be ready for spring training where he'll vie for a job in Texas' revamped bullpen. King is a groundball specialist with a low walk rate, but a pedestrian strikeout clip. He profiles better as a multi-inning reliever than high-leverage guy, obviously depending on this recovery. King is a longshot to be in the saves mix, but he should collect a few holds.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could remain with Rangers
King (shoulder) could remain with the Rangers after it was originally reported that he was traded to the Yankees on Wednesday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
King was reportedly heading to New York along with Joey Gallo. However, revised editions of the trade instead have the Yankees acquiring Joely Rodriguez. King has been effective out of the bullpen for the Rangers to this point in the season, maintaining a 3.52 ERA and 1.15 WHIP with 40 strikeouts across 46 innings, though he is currently sidelined by a shoulder injury. The full trade is expected to be finalized either late Wednesday night or Thursday.
