Rangers signed LHP John King to a minor league contract.

King, who was drafted by the Rangers back in 2017, heads back to Texas after being released by the Marlins last week. The 31-year-old reliever has posted an encouraging 3.99 ERA across 49 2/3 innings this season.

Marlins released LHP John King.

King is free to pursue opportunities elsewhere after going unclaimed on waivers. The 31-year-old was cut loose over the weekend after pitching to a respectable 3.99 ERA across 49 2/3 innings this season.

Marlins designated LHP John King for assignment.

This move comes as a bit of a surprise as King has actually pitched fairly well for the Marlins this season, registering a 3.99 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and a 33/17 K/BB ratio over 49 2/3 innings of work. He should generate plenty of interest on waivers.

Marlins activated LHP John King from the 15-day injured list.

He spent the minimum 15 days on the list, great news for the Marlins. King will return to the late game mix and, given how Pete Fairbanks has fared this year, we could see a situation where King gets some save opportunities this year if the Marlins start mixing and matching.

Marlins placed LHP John King on the 15-day injured list with a left lateral ankle sprain.

It’s a tough loss for the Marlins bullpen, as King was 5-2 with a 2.48 ERA in 40 innings thus far this year. There’s no word on how serious this injury is at this time, but the 15-day placement suggests he’ll be out at least until closer to the trade deadline.

John King took the loss in Sunday’s 10-1 defeat to the Mets, pitching 1 2/3 innings while allowing two earned runs.

King started Sunday’s bullpen game after Janson Junk was scratched and placed on the injured list with a shin issue. Junk joins Eury Pérez and Robby Snelling as recent rotation losses for a staff that is suddenly extremely thin. King might be used as an opener on bullpen days going forward, but he’ll otherwise revert to middle relief.

Marlins signed LHP John King to a one-year, $1.5 million contract.

King was non-tendered by the Cardinals in November after posting a 4.66 ERA last year. The sinkerballer had come in at 3.47 over the previous four seasons, and the Marlins are making a small bet that he’ll get back into that territory. If it works out, he’ll probably be flipped for a prospect in July.

ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports the Marlins and LHP John King have agreed to a one-year, $1.5 million contract.

King had a down 2025, allowing a 4.66 ERA and eight homers in just 51 games pitched. He’ll look to rebound with the Marlins and should have a decent shot of making the Opening Day roster based on this contract.

Cardinals non-tendered LHP John King and RHP Jorge Alcala.

Alcala had already been DFA’d earlier this week. King had a 3.33 ERA in 128 innings out of the pen since being acquired from the Rangers in 2023, but he was up to 4.66 last season, mostly because he allowed eight homers in spite of his usual 60% groundball rate. Dropping him will save the Cardinals about $2 million, but he’d still seem to be worth at least that much with his double play ability.

Cardinals activated LHP John King from the 15-day injured list.

The 30-year-old southpaw missed just over two weeks due to a mid-back strain. He returns to an underwhelming 5.18 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and a 24/13 K/BB ratio over 41 2/3 innings through his first 43 appearances with the Cardinals this season. Nick Raquet was optioned back to Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move on Friday.
