Padres manager Mike Shildt revealed Friday on 97.3 The Fan that King will not make his scheduled start Sunday versus the Rockies due to lingering left calf soreness as a result of being hit by a comebacker in his last outing.
EDGE Analysis
It sounds like King just needs a couple extra days of rest and will be ready to go early next week, but the Padres are still discussing their options to fill in for Sunday's start. Carl Edwards has been stretched out as a starter since he signed a minor-league deal last month and last pitched Sunday, so he could be a possibility for a spot start. Edwards would need to be added to the 40-man roster, however.
