Yankees' Michael King: Begins rehab assignment

King (elbow) threw a rehab inning for the Yankees' Gulf Coast League affiliate Wednesday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

This was King's first competitive inning all season, as he's been battling elbow issues since the start of spring training. He reached Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre late last season for six strong starts, posting a 1.15 ERA and a 0.67 OPS. He could still feature in New York at some point late in the second half, though the Yankees may take things slowly due to his lost development time so far this season.
