Yankees manager Aaron Boone indicated Thursday that King will make the Opening Day roster, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
King missed much of last season with a finger injury but posted respectable numbers when he did pitch, compiling a 3.55 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 62:24 K:BB over 63.1 innings. He started in six of his 22 big-league outings last season but is expected to work in a middle-relief role in 2022. King has made three appearances in Grapefruit League play, allowing five runs and yielding three homers over seven frames.
