King made his professional debut at third base Wednesday with Triple-A Rochester, going 3-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI.

The 23-year-old has been one of the hottest hitters in the minors of late, hitting safely in 10 straight games while compiling a .463/.532/.951 slash line with six homers and three steals. King's gone yard in three straight games, and the defensive switch from shortstop to third base did nothing to slow his momentum. He's not expected to get a late-season promotion to the majors and isn't on the 40-man roster yet, but if he adapts well to playing the hot corner, King could head into spring training next year with a real chance to win the Opening Day starting job.

King isn't expected to receive a promotion to the majors before the end of the season, Spencer Nusbaum of The Athletic reports.

The Nationals' decision to shift CJ Abrams off shortstop created some speculation that the organization could be making room for King, who's produced a .301/.376/.505 slash line in 47 games since a promotion to Triple-A Rochester. The Nats believe the 23-year-old still has things to learn and improve on in the minors, however. King also isn't likely to be the team's shortstop of the future, with Eli Willits rising quickly behind him in the system, and having him adapt to a new position as well will be easier in the minors than the majors.

King (oblique) has gone 4-for-11 with two doubles, one walk, four runs and two RBI in three games for Triple-A Rochester after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Thursday.

King missed just under a month while recovering from a left oblique strain. The 23-year-old shortstop has generated a .308/.386/.505 slash line with 10 home runs and nine stolen bases across 322 plate appearances at Triple-A this season.

Triple-A Rochester placed King on the 7-day injured list July 3 with a left oblique strain.

King has split his age-23 season evenly between Double-A and Triple-A, although he was notably more impressive at Double-A (163 wRC+) than for Rochester (102 wRC+). He has a .306/.385/.504 slash line, 10 home runs, nine steals and a 20 percent strikeout rate in 68 games. Since getting to Triple-A, King has started 26 games at shortstop and seven games at second base.

The Nationals promoted King from Double-A Harrisburg to Triple-A Rochester on Monday, Spencer Nusbaum of The Athletic reports.

King struggled after being promoted to Harrisburg last season, but he's broken out in 2026, slashing .336/.427/.562 with five home runs, five stolen bases and a 22:31 BB:K in 35 games to earn a promotion to the Nationals' top affiliate. The 23-year-old has played shortstop almost exclusively in pro ball, but King has seen a bit of action at second base in 2026, and if he makes it to the majors this season, it could be as a second baseman.
