Pitches clean eighth for hold King pitched a perfect eighth inning while striking out one to pick up his seventh hold of the year in a 3-0 win over the Tigers on Saturday.

Impact With multiple injuries in the Yankees bullpen, King appears to be the go-to setup man for closer Clay Holmes. King boasts an excellent 2.08 xFIP and Yankees manager Aaron Boone has shown confidence using him in high-leverage situations. If Holmes were to pitch on consecutive days while Aroldis Chapman (Achilles) and Jonathan Loaisiga (shoulder) remain on the injured list, King could be in line to pick up the occasional save.

Impact King has been dominant this season, but he showed that he was mortal with a less-than-sharp effort Sunday.

This was only the second time in nine appearances this season that he has been charged with an earned run, and his ERA still sits at a tidy 1.42 across 19 innings.
