King (shoulder) played catch Wednesday, MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Playing catch is a meaningful step forward for King, who has been out of action for over five weeks. The right-hander is dealing with a pinched thoracic nerve in his right shoulder, which has resulted in him seeking advice from specialists around the country to better understand how to advance through the recovery process. Imaging on King's shoulder found no structural damage, and he said that he expects to return to action this season, though he'll likely remain sidelined until sometime after the All-Star break.
