The San Diego Padres received a positive update on the health of Michael King, who has been out for more than a month.

Even though tests are showing no damage to his shoulder, King remains on the injured list, though he could return in the coming weeks.

The Padres also got another one of their pitchers added to the National League All-Star roster, making it their third arm given the honor this season.

It was history for San Diego, who is sending three pitchers to the Midsummer Classic for the first time since 2007. They're also the first team in MLB history to have three relievers on the All-Star Team.

Finally, as the MLB trade deadline approaches, the Padres could potentially make a trade for another All-Star pitcher, adding to the team's deep pitching staff. One proposed trade would do just that.
