NBC SportsMichael King lasted only 2 2/3 innings and gave up three runs Thursday against the Braves.

King walked four, and just 41 of his 76 pitches were strikes. He also fought his control this spring, walking seven, hitting one and throwing two wild pitches in his 13 2/3 innings. That was kind of the story last year, too; a full third of the walks he issued on the season came in his 36 innings between March and April (21 then, 42 in 137 2/3 innings the rest of the way). King will face the Guardians on Tuesday.

NBC SportsDylan Cease will make his season debut on Friday against the Braves.

Cease and Opening Day starter Michael King are the only locks in San Diego's starting rotation mix at the moment as a result of spring training injuries to Yu Darvish (elbow) and Matt Waldron (oblique). It'll be some combination of Nick Pivetta, Kyle Hart and Randy Vasquez taking the ball for the Padres, but the exact order has yet to be determined. There should be some clarity prior to Thursday's season-opener.

He then swiped second base and advanced to third on a wild pitch but the Cubs were unable to cash him in.For the spring, Brujan is hitting .229 (8-for-35) with a homer, three RBI and five stolen bases.

NBC SportsMichael King looked dominant in Friday's spring tune-up against the Cubs, allowing just one hit over five innings of shutout baseball.

The 29-year-old right-hander struck out four batters on the afternoon and didn't issue a base on balls. The only baserunner that he allowed was a leadoff single to Vidal Brujan to start the game, otherwise he was in complete command. After a rough start to the spring, King now sports a 3.95 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and a 13/7 K/BB ratio over 13 2/3 innings through his first four starts. Fantasy managers have certainly taken note, as King has been drafted inside the top 15 starting pitchers this spring with an average draft position inside the top 65 picks overall.
