Padres manager Mike Shildt said Friday that King won't make his scheduled start Sunday against the Rockies due to a lingering left calf soreness after being hit by a comebacker in his last start this past Saturday in Baltimore, Sammy Levitt of 97.3 The Fan reports.
Shildt suggested that King just needs a couple extra days of rest and will be ready to take the hill early next week, but the Padres are still discussing their options to fill in for him Sunday. Carl Edwards has been stretched out as a starter at Triple-A El Paso 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.
