Padres starter Michael King a late scratch vs. Braves with shoulder stiffness
- About 40 minutes before the Padres faced the Atlanta Braves on Saturday, right-hander Michael King was removed from the starting lineup due to stiffness in his right shoulder.
- King woke up with shoulder pain and could not loosen up enough to start, prompting the Padres to replace him with a bullpen game.
- Reliever Sean Reynolds made his first start in place of King and gave up three runs over just under three innings as the Padres fell 7-1 to the Braves.
- King holds a 4-2 record with a 2.59 ERA in 10 starts this season and threw seven scoreless innings with 12 strikeouts against the Braves in last season’s playoff opener.
- King is not anticipated to be placed on the injured list and should only be sidelined for a single start, provided his shoulder pain does not persist, while the Padres have dropped seven of their previous eight games.
