    Manager Mike Shildt said Friday that Yu Darvish will start in Game 2 of the NLDS against the Dodgers and Michael King will come in "soon thereafter," Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.The San Diego Padres will roll with Dylan Cease and Darvish for Games 1 and 2 of the NLDS before likely turning to King for Game 3. King started in Game 1 of the wild-card series against Atlanta on Tuesday, and he was credited for the win after pitching seven scoreless innings while allowing five hits and striking out 12 batters. The Padres' rotation suffered a setback with Joe Musgrove being ruled out for the NLDS due to a UCL injury in his right elbow, which will require Tommy John surgery during the offseason.
